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
|
