Now that she is with me,
I am begging I might stay.
Let me see those days.
For there are things I long to see—
More acts within her play.
Let me see those days.
Yes, my life has started over
Like it’s marching into May.
Let me see those days.
And the garden of my beauty queen
Needs me more than any grave.
Let me see those days.
I’m putting all of my wishes
Into one great big one.
‘Cause I’m aware I cannot be there
Forever and always.
Let me see those days.
Yes, my life will come to find
Its own end in its own way.
Let me see those days.
When every lovely thing I know she can be
Is put upon display,
Let me see those days.
I’m putting all of my wishes
Into one great big one.
‘Cause I’m aware I cannot be there
Forever and always.
Let me see those days.
When the hair upon my head
Is half as much, but twice as gray,
Let me see those days.
For that would mean I had lived to see
The fulfillment of the phrase…
