I’m gonna give my love a flower
Speak my mind, speak my mind
I’m gonna wait out the hour
Take my time, take my time
I can’t see what’s in front of me
Can’t remember what’s behind
Can’t recall for the life of me
All the dust that’s left me blind
If I’m gonna get old
I’m gonna get old with you
I’m gonna mend my suit
With a thread so very fine
I’m gonna fix my boots
Make them shine, make them shine
Gonna get out on the floor
With the woman of my dreams
Gonna hold her hand in mine
Let the spaces in between
If I’m gonna get old
I’m gonna get old with you
I never treated you how I should
Daddy never taught me about romance
But you were smarter than a whip
Sweeter than a sip
You always made me feel like I could dance
I can’t see what’s in front of me
Can’t remember what’s behind
Can’t recall for the life of me
All the dust that’s left me blind
If I’m gonna get old
I’m gonna get old with you
