When your legs don’t but work like they (A)used to be fore

I Will your eyes still smile from your (G)cheeks?

And darl ing, I

will be lov ing you

till we’re se ven ty.

And ba by, my

heart could still feel as (A)my hard at twen ty three.

And I’m think ing (A)’bout how (Em)peo ple fall in love in mys ter i ous ways,

(Em)may be just the touch of a hand.

Well (Em)me I fall in love with you ev (Bm)’ry sin gle day.

And (Em)I just wan na tell you I am.

So hon ey now,

take me in to your lov ing arms.

Kiss me un der the light of a (D)thou sand stars.

Place your head on my beat ing heart

I’m think ing (A)out loud may be (Bm)we (A)found (G)love (D)right (Em7)where (A)we (D)are.

When my hair’s don’t but gone and my (A)mem o ry fades

and the crowds don’t re mem ber my (G)name.

When my hands don’t re play the the (A)strings the same way,

I know you will still love me the (G)same.

’Cause hon ey your

soul could nev er grow
