Older in love

(c) Mitch Townley


(v1)
There’s a husband and his wife both on the other side of 85
Who need to sleep in diff’rent beds
But are more in love than the day they met
Have Spent a lifetime serving the other one
Growing older in love ,growing older in love

(v2)
He gets a sweet kiss on the cheek
for bringing her some pudding to take the pills she needs
She holds his hand when it starts to shake .
It’s a tender, forever love they make
They might not hug and kiss, or cuddle up as much
Growing older in love , growing older in love


(bridge)

Amazing love, amazing years
Amazing strength built out of faith and time and tears
Through hanging in, and hanging on
Remembering forgiveness doesn’t get a day off
Finding the will,finding the way

(v3)
They talk alot about the past,
Sometimes don’t remember the names of their great grands
Look in each other’s failing eyes,
still see a bride and groom and feel the rice
Every vow they said they’d do, well, they have done
Growing older in love growing older in love

(Repeat Bridge)
Every vow they said they’d do, they have done
Growing older in love growing older in love
