We started out with dreams as big as any sky, Chasing down tomorrow, watching years go by. We thought that love was measured by the places we could go, By all the things we'd have, by all the things we'd know. But somewhere along the way, I finally understood, The greatest life was simply having you. Growing old with you, That's the dream I never knew. Through every storm and every sunny day, Through every scar the years have left our way. I don't need a perfect life, I just need you by my side. Your hand in mine, your heart next to mine, Growing old with you Is the best of my life. It wasn't all the sunsets or the miles that we had seen, It wasn't all the treasures or the places in between. It was coffee in the morning, just waking up with you, The quiet little moments that nobody else knew. The laughter in the kitchen, the silence on the porch, The ordinary days that I wouldn't trade for more. Growing old with you, That's the dream I never knew. Through every storm and every sunny day, Through every tear and every smile along the way. I don't need a perfect life, I just need you by my side. Your hand in mine, your heart next to mine, (Growing old with you) Is the best of my life. And when our hair turns grey, And our footsteps slow, I'll still reach for your hand Like I did so long ago. If time takes what it takes, There's one thing it can't undo— Every day I've been given Has been better because of you. Growing old with you, There's nowhere else I'd choose. After all we've been through, I'd still choose you. Not for a perfect story, Not for an easy road, But for every mile together, Every memory we hold. When the years have all passed And there's nothing left to prove, I'll look into your eyes And thank my lucky heart For growing old with you. So let the seasons change, Let the years keep moving through. As long as I have one more morning To wake up next to you, I'll call this life a beautiful life... Because I got to grow old with you.
