We sat inside a laundromat in Oxford on a Tuesday
Having date night sharing Chinese takeaway
We walked the railroad tracks and alleys to find the perfect pizza
In a little house somewhere in San Jose
When I am old and gray
And my memory is fading
One thing remains I'll always know is true
I've loved you through the good and bad
But mostly what I treasure
Are all these simple moments spent with you
We drove backroads in the country from Kansas to New England
We stopped in knickknack shops and every roadside stand
Selling strawberries and pastries and jars of apple butter
And things never went exactly as we planned
When I am old and gray
And my memory is fading
One thing remains I'll always know is true
I've loved you through the good and bad
But mostly what I treasure
Are all these simple moments spent with you
Our hearts and souls were intertwined through a thousand misadventures
From Italy to Texas to L.A.
But also in the ordinary simple passing moments
That flitter through our lives from day to day
When I am old and gray
And my memory is fading
One thing remains I'll always know is true
I've loved you through the good and bad
But mostly what I treasure
Are all the simple moments spent with you
It's all these simple moments spent with you
