|
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. |
|
[Chorus] |
|
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? |
|
[Chorus] |
|
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 book you read |
|
sometimes it takes a lifetime to get what you need. |
|
[Chorus] |
|
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. |
|
[Chorus] |
|
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 |
