Lyric

There you sit upon the sofa

Watching someone on your phone

Laughing softly at the screen

Like you're sitting there alone

I clear my throat from across the room

You don't even look my way

Still, I smile to see you laughing

After all these years today

I gathered up a little courage

And leaned a little near

"Do you remember our first date?"

You said, "Not now, my dear."

I don't write love songs

Not anymore

It feels a little silly

Like it did before

Instead of saying, "I love you"

Like we did so long ago

It's "Where's my patch?"

Before "Hello"

Love songs were for younger days

When our hearts were wild and free

Now it's blood pressure and doctor bills

And who's got what ache this week

I carried in the groceries

And my shoulder started to complain

Spent ten minutes looking for my glasses

Found them on my head again

The mirror tells the usual story

A little less hair, a little more waist

But when I catch your eyes across the room

I still recognize that face

And somewhere deep inside

I'm still twenty-five

We turn on some old romance

And watch the lovers kiss

While we compare our blood pressure

And say, "Well... that's not bad."

I don't write love songs

At my age now

Come on, my dear

Who'd listen anyhow?

Instead of talking about forever

Or staring at the moon

It's "My knee hurts today"

And "Can you help me soon?"

Love songs were the soundtrack

Of another time

Now the little things we say

Are somehow more than fine

We've walked a long road together

Through the sunshine and the rain

Some days were full of laughter

Some days were full of pain

Somewhere along the way

Love changed its shape

We stopped saying all the pretty words

And simply stayed

Sitting beside you feels natural

Like breathing in the air

No grand promises

No need to say we're there

You're just here

I'm just here

And maybe that's the miracle

I don't write love songs

Not anymore

Still feels a little silly

Just like before

Instead of saying, "I love you"

Like we did so long ago

It's "Where's my patch?"

Before "I love you"

Love songs were for younger days

When our hearts were wild and free

But somehow you're still sitting here

Right beside me

After all these years

You're still the one I want to see

So

Where's my patch?

Oh, never mind

It's right here

Thank you

For staying
