Thirty years ago we were married in late June
I never thought I could love you more than on that sweet honeymoon
But there's something about you lately really caught my eye
The decades have become you, babe; here's the reason why
There's a wiggle in your walk I've never seen before
There's humour round those laughter lines, so self assured
And your loving's free and easy now, it takes my breath away
I tell you, darling, I want you more with every passing day
So come on, sweet Denise, you're my favourite masterpiece
With your deep brown eyes and your silver hair
You say you're getting older. I know age is just a number
'Cause to me you're so much younger than you were

We've had our downs and ups, we've had our share of rain
We braved the heavy weather till the sun came out again
But there's something about you lately lights me up inside
When you're standing close to me, I fair burst with pride
There's a wisdom in your words handed down from time
A tingle in your fingers, girl, when your hand's in mine
When you kiss me, there is nowhere I would rather be
I tell you, darling, your company is home sweet home to me
So come on, sweet Denise, you're my favourite masterpiece
With your deep brown eyes and your silver hair
You say you're getting older. I know age is just a number
'Cause to me you're so much younger than you were

You say you've seen a change in me. Well, I've seen a change in you
You ain't so hard, you dropped your guard, let your softer side shine through
Sometimes the drudge has made me feel invisible and small
But when you say those words to me, I'm walking ten feet tall
It's true it's been a bit of a rollercoaster ride
But at least it wasn't the merry-go-round and round and round and round and round
So come on, sweet Denise, you're my favourite masterpiece
With your deep brown eyes and your silver hair
You say you're getting older. I know age is just a number
'Cause to me you're so much younger than you were
