When you're young you got time
when you're old, you've built a life
in between you're just along for the ride nothing's in a straight line
like the wrinkles on your eyes
try to take it one candle at a time
when we turn 96 with a smile on our lips i'll have nothing left to wish
cause people paint pictures of places like this people they daydream of the life that we live

people they see darkness and light as opposite sides but you and i know they're the same.

we'll dance in the sun til the warm evening comes then we'll dance by the light of the moon
we'll follow the thread
sing the songs in our heads
until all of our best dreams come true
