So he's retired
lives with his sister in a furnished flat
he's got this suit that
he'll never wear outside without a hat
his hair is white but he looks half his age
he looks like Jimmy Stewart in his younger days.
And honestly, I might be
stupid to think love is love
but I do
and you've waited so long and
I've waited long enough for you.
My mother's calling
from where she's living up in Troy, Vermont
she tries to tell me
a father figure must be what I want
I've always thought age makes no difference
am I the only one to whom that's making sense?
And honestly, I might be
stupid to think love is love
but I do
and you've waited so long and
I've waited long enough
for you.
The day I met him he was raking leaves
in his tiny yard.
Of course I know that
we've only got ten years, or twenty, left
but to be honest
I'm happy with whatever time we get
depending on which ever book you read
sometimes it takes a lifetime to get what you
need.
And honestly, I might be
stupid to think love is love
but I do
and you've waited so long and
I've waited long enough
for you
