Lyrics
YEARS IN THE FUTURE
I know it isn't easy to smile,
When nothing goes the way that you plan.
But, baby, we've got love enough to last quite a while,
So if there's rocky roads ahead
We can walk them hand in hand,
CHORUS: And for YEARS IN THE FUTURE
I can see us together
And nothing else matters, nothing else will do.
How I got on before your love, I haven't a clue.
I just want to spend my YEARS IN THE FUTURE
With you.
I'll admit it's been a roller-coaster ride.
But the love we share has given me faith
And the joy of riding with you keeps me here by your side,
So through all the convolutions,
That's where I intend to stay.
CHORUS
BRIDGE: Every time I see an old man walking down the street
Holding hands with the old woman by his side,
I have to stop and smile because they look so sweet.
I like to think that someday they may be you and I.
Because.....
CHORUS
