Intro
Verse 1
The Thread Of Gold Weaves Through The Morning Air
Touching The Silver In Your Tangled Hair
I Watch Your Fingers, Frail And Etched With Blue
Tracing The Wedding Band That's Worn And True
Verse 2
We Share Our Tea In Silence, Sweet And Deep
Between The Secrets That We Chose To Keep
You Smile At Me, A Soft And Weary Grace
And I Find Fifty Years Within Your Face
Chorus
I Close My Eyes And Suddenly It's May
The Scent Of Clover From A Distant Day
We're Running Barefoot Through The Summer Rain
Two Reckless Hearts Without A Touch Of Pain
Verse 3
I See You Dancing In That Dress Of Blue
When All The World Was White And Bright And New
We Were The Architects Of Dreams So Grand
Now All Those Years Are Grains Of Golden Sand
Chorus
And I Wonder As The Clock Begins To Chime
How Much Is Left Of Our Borrowed Time
How Many More Mornings Can I Wake To Your Name
Before The Winter Snuffs The Candle Flame
Bridge
It's A Happy Ache, A Sweet And Heavy No
Because I Love You So, I'm Not Ready To Go
In The Remaining Time, Let The Light Stay Bright
Hold Me A Little Closer Before The Coming Night
Instrumental
Verse 4
We've Been A Symphony Of Grit And Gold
A Story That Never Seems To Grow Old
I'm Not Asking For Forever Or A Life That's New
Just One More Yesterday To Spend With You
It's The Cruelest Gift That Time Has Ever Gave
To Love So Much And Have So Much To Save
Chorus
So I Wonder As The Clock Begins To Chime
How Much Is Left Of Our Borrowed Time
How Many More Mornings Can I Wake To Your Name
Before The Winter Snuffs The Candle Flame
Outro
It's Been A Lovely Life, More Than I Could Claim
Still Holding The Embers Of A Sacred Flame
The Tea Is Warm And You Are Here
Every Second Left Is The One I Hold Dear
Just Stay In The Quiet With Me
