You're sitting softly in the evening sun Tracing the years that have made us one You look in the mirror, sighing at the passing time Counting the silver where the gold used to shine You trace a wrinkle, you hide your gentle hands away Apologizing for the changes of today And you whisper softly that the youth has all gone by While I look at heaven every time you walk bye. My love, every line upon your face tells a story true Every single wrinkle brings me closer to you And every strand of silver in your hair Is a witness to the prayers we whispered there Oh, for all the decades that my heart has sang for you Youβre still the only dream I ever knew My love, my lady, still you take my breath away And I would choose you over every yesterday. You see the imperfections that the years have drawn The quiet quiet mornings as we watch the dawn You fret the fading picture of the girl I used to meet When we walked together down that cobblestone street But let me tell you what this aging heart can see: Those lines are maps of where you gave your soul to me That silver crown you wear is history and grace There is no holy temple like your loving face. My love, every line upon your face tells a story true Every single wrinkle brings me closer to you And every strand of silver in your hair Is a witness to the prayers we whispered there Oh, for all the decades that my heart has sang for you Youβre still the only dream I ever knew My love, my lady, still you take my breath away And I would choose you over every yesterday. They talk of fleeting beauty in a world that moves too fast They never learn the secret of a love thatβs built to last So let the shadows lengthen, let the seasons turn and fade Look at the magnificent cathedral we have made I loved you when the morning sun was bright upon your head And I will love you walking down the path we softly tread. My love, every line upon your face tells a story true Every single wrinkle brings me closer to you And every strand of silver in your hair Is a witness to the prayers we whispered there Oh, for all the decades that my heart has sang for you Youβre still the only dream I ever knew My love, my lady, still you take my breath away And I would choose you over every yesterday. Forevermore... Just you and me, right where we're supposed to be. My love.
