Grow Old With Me – the Best is Yet to Come!
I wanted to grow old with you and hoped for happy years
Then came the worst news of all, my eyes were full of tears.
Why, why, why? Why us? I cried.
How can I go on without you by my side?
This wasn’t meant to happen, we’d worked hard for these years.
We’d planned to have some fun and now our days are full of fear.
You’re fading fast, your strength is gone, your face is gaunt and pale.
I pray your heart keeps beating, I don’t want it to fail.
How can I keep you strong and bright, how can I make you smile?
Please, please, please grow old with me. Stay a little while.
I love you and I need you, my soulmate and my friend.
But if the worst should happen, I’ll be with you till the end.
But I know you’ll never leave me, your spirit will remain.
Please wait for me along the road and hold me once again.
So now I’ll hold you gently, and whisper in your ear.
I love you Darling John, don’t be frightened, I am here.
