It's just a little longer, my darling
Each day I'm growing fonder of you
You say you have your doubts about forever
I say it's just June gloom

Remember that week we spent in Portland
You almost said the words you find so frightening
We can take it easy, there's no hurry
We can slow it down, don't you worry

When I see you, I see my future
I know you don't see it yet
Lover, let me paint a picture
I'll show you just how far it is
It's far away
I never lied to you
But I will say I'll walk beside you the whole way

I won't promise you something foolish
I told you straight away it won't be easy
Let me take that load off of your shoulders
Let me make your heart a little lighter

When I see you, I see my future
I know you don't see it yet
Lover, let me paint a picture
I'll show you just how far it is
It's far away
I never lied to you
But I will say I'll walk beside you the whole way
I'll walk beside you the whole way
