Lyrics

I want to be 85 with you
Rocking chairs on creaking porches
Knitting needles, angry nurses
And you laughing all the while

I want to be 29 together
On the phone in stormy weather
Plane delays and travel sweaters
And you still can make me smile

And when we're old we'll put our dentures in a jar beside the sink
In that place where that old mug with our two brushes used to be
And I'll laugh about the way you still look pretty without teeth
'Cause your shiny gums are perfect to me

CHORUS
I don't know where life's going to go
But I'll go along with you
And I don't know what the future holds
But I'll hold onto you
And when the mountains and the distance stand between us like a fence
I hope you know I'm still with you
I hope you know I'm still with you

Be with me at 37
Two young kids and one more coming
Minivans, golden retrievers
We're statistics; we won't mind

And since I'll be allergic to the grass, you'll mow the lawn
But I'll help you plant the trees that our three children can climb on
They'll balance on those branches and reach higher every dawn
'Cause you make mornings beautiful to me

CHORUS
I don't know where life's going to go
But I'll go along with you
And I don't know what the future holds
But I'll hold onto you
And when the mountains and the distance stand between us like a fence
I hope you know I'm still with you
I hope you know I'm still with you

When I was five, I drew a lover with my dreams
And you're nothing like the picture, but you feel like the real thing

Come on, be with me tomorrow
When I cry, just hold me closer
We've been broken, cracks still show
But we'll be fine
When you're in pieces, I can help you realign
I can hold you while you heal, and we will be
We will be all right

CHORUS
I don't know where life's going to go
But I'll go along with you
And I don't know what the future holds
But I'll hold onto you
And when the mountains and the distance stand between us like a fence
I hope you know I'm still with you
I hope you know I'm still with you
