Love's Golden Years

I sit awake listening to you snore It’s a scene I’ve witnessed many times before I’m used to it so I just ignore After all these years you still deny this flaw In the moonlight your face looks blue You wear a creamy, cool hue I love being this close to you And you snore even more But tonight I must adore I dont want to sleep in the spare next door I love you all these years Wrinkles and grey hairs Failing eyesight and ears, Old age and hunchback, I’m yours I’ve seen this moment 30 years ago How you've aged so gracefully my gogo When I made a vow for rich or poor When we shared a drink from the same straw And when you didn’t snore
