Til Your Setting Sun

I apologize for waiting so long,
to tell you all this.
Girl, I've been waiting years,
so hear me out,
cause there's not a word that I want you to miss.

Would you take this heart?
Even when it's old and gray?
I will stand by you always.
By you always.
Always, I swear.

Will you take me when I can't see?
I know you're beautiful.
And how I love it when you sing to me,
but I'll still love you when I can't see a damn thing,
and I'll still love you when you can't sing the same way you used to.

The sun is setting,
You're standing so close,
and how I want to steal that smile.
Steal it right from your lips,
and place it on mine.

I'm quiet,
and you're loud.
But I've heard that opposites attract.
And I can't help but drop it,
drop all doubt and react.

I'll be on the shoreline,
waiting on the coastline.
Where we were carefree,
where we were in love,
where time was endless,
as endless as the sea.

We won't be 20 and young forever.
Passion consumed us then.
We fought just as hard as we loved.
And I'll admit that I'm guilty.

But someday our beauty will fade.
And all we'll be left with is our heart and our brains.
So, I want to love you gently until we're 70.

And until we're 90,
up until we forget who we are
and what we loved each other for.
Only that we are eachother's rock.

That no matter what,
I'll be your constant.
Until you see your setting sun.
And when you do,
I hope you see those angels,
And, my love,
I hope you run.
