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
