Let’s Grow Old Together

She said, “Darling, I’ve something to say.

Come sit next to me.”

I sat down with an anxious thought

Wondering what this could be.

Expectations came flooding in

With a feeling akin to dread.

But amazement soon took over

At the words that she said.

 

“Let’s grow old together.

Let’s take a vow.

Let me hold your hand and walk by your side

And show them all how

We belong to another world

Made for lovers and friends

Where the fires continue to grow

And love never ends.”

 

I couldn’t help but feel relieved

And a little surprised.

So, I took her hand in mine

And looked into her eyes.

I said, “Baby, don’t you know?

That’s just what I intend to do.

Gonna spend my lifetime making

Sweet love to you.”

 

Let’s grow old together.

Let’s take a vow.

Let me hold your hand and walk by your side

And show them all how

We belong to another world

Made for lovers and friends

Where the fires continue to grow

And love never ends.
