We were late for the service, it started at nine Fucked up by the jet lag and last night's box wine My suit barely fit, but you said I looked fine And you'd love me till the day I die Old men with umbrellas were staring us down As a twelve-year-old boy threw some dirt in the ground I whispered a joke while I tried not to cry And thought, "I'll love her till the day I die" So life unwinds There's no fooling time I'll take every night that she sleeps at my side And love her till the day I die We were late for old age, but it suited us fine I got used to the aches and how old fingers don't align But I'd never let go and hoped you take it as a sign That I'd love you till the day I die So life unwinds Failed to fool time I'll take every night that she sleeps at my side And love her till the day I die Well, now I can't be late 'cause I'm here all the time Smiling through the morphine that drips down the line And if heaven denies me, I don't think I'll mind 'Cause I loved you till the day I died Yeah, I loved you till the day I died
