lyrics

Baby Grow Old with Me

Oh, my friend you should know
That my love for you has grown
Every year I have treasured it silently
And as our road slowly unfolds
I’m so glad that you have chosen
To make room by your side for my company

I know how it goes
Things fall apart
But my love’s like a chain
Pulls me back to your heart

Chorus:
Baby, grow old with me
Baby, grow old with me
In the morning when I wake
It’s you I want to see
Baby, grow old with me
Tell me you’ll stay with me
Without you I could never know
The man I want to be

I know that tomorrow
Is like a wish wrapped in a dream
No promises that it may ever come
But even if I am blessed with forty-thousand days
I hope that you’re right there in every one

So, honey, I’m here
Whenever you find
That this world seems so unkind
And the road up ahead climbs on endlessly
Just reach for my hand
Whenever you should fall
I’ll be there right through it all
When the night makes the going too dark to see

I know how it goes
Things fall apart
But my love’s like a chain
Pulls me back to your heart

Chorus:
Baby, grow old with me
Baby, grow old with me
In the morning when I wake
It’s you I want to see
Baby, grow old with me
Tell me you’ll stay with me
Without you I could not become
The man I want to be
