Sun setting, slowly drifting behind the mountains The iridescent glow of July fades into night Crickets chirping, fireflies buzzing about Making the world around us our own Little, secluded universe amongst nature
The creak of a chair swing, oscillating in rhythm To the beats in our chest, the swirl in our hearts As you collapse into my arms, like you always did A little gray streak showing, glistening The smell of your fresh brewed coffee invades Delights my nose so used to the smell And my eyes, peering into yours Fifty long/short years from now And I love you still
Leaping hurdles with ease, never looking back The heart of a wanderer finding homestead In the soul of a loving beauty Who's been wronged by so many Yet can still love so deeply The awestruck glance you catch from me Babe, that's never gonna change You're gonna amazes every day without fail That's you, purely amazing
And so when I close my eyes tonight Know that's what I see And I really can't wait To grow old with you
