[Verse 1]
Sometimes, I recall what others have said
Love is for lovers in love and full-grown
Life's for the living, and death's for the dead
And the depth of a heart is a fathom unknown

[Verse 2]
Sometimes, when I get to thinkin' about you
And all the things that we've never said
To each other, it seems such a shame to go blue
When there's so many years to lie silent and dead

[Verse 3]
I know, you know all about life
You know, I know nothing at all
Still why should I know daily strife
When the touch of your hand makes me glad I'm so small?

[Verse 4]
Time brings us trouble, as days come and go
I know, you know I'll understand
Could you, would you suffer a woe
When a blink of your eye and I'm at your command?

[Bridge]
Think of the years before we were a pair
Years lived apart we spent learning to farm
Sowing, growing and learning to care
For ourselves, and preparin' for each other's arms
[Verse 5]
Love is a flower, blooms when we're too young
Pluck it, it's gone, tended it grows
We've been tending since the first sprout was sprung
To the most patient farmer, the best harvest goes

[Verse 6]
Sometimes, I recall what others have said
Love is for lovers in love and full-grown
Life's for the living, and death's for the dead
And the depth of a heart is a fathom unknown
