Grow Old With Me

Grow old with me,
Stay as the days go past.
Grow old with me –
Some things are meant to last.
If you’ll agree,
Heaven might wait –
We could delay
Our expiration date.

Grow old with me,
Teach me the words to sing
When my last spring
Has finally sprung!
Stay for an hour,
Stay for a day,
Stay ‘til we shrink
And get wrinkled and gray!
Grow old with me,
And we’ll stay forever young!

Grow old with me –
Darling, let’s fossilize!
With your blue eyes
And my silver tongue!

Don’t leave me flat –
Don’t leave me cold!
Don’t leave me rusted and crusted with mold,
Grow old with me,
‘Til my final fling is flung!
Grow old with me
And we’ll stay forever young!
