Phil Keaggy Album: The Uncle Duke Project Track: Old Time Love
Old Time Love Lyrics
When I watch her sitting stately there Snuggled in her tilt back chair I feel the urge to reach out and touch her hair and say How much I love you - how very much I love you
When I feel her standing very near And hear her breath so very clear I want to hug her, for I fear her loss, I say How much I love you - how very much I love you
When the daunting years have passed us by Remember our youth and how very shy Her every hurt would make me cry for her When we pass through time, we grow together Like linen and lace and English leather I often ask myself that whether I'll live long enough to say How much I love you - how very much I love you I love you - how very much I love you
When I witness how our aging frienship Has grown into a lasting kinship I'm so thankful for our lifelongship, that allows my heart to speak How much I love you - how very much I love you
When I think about the hardship years The gloomy days and midnight tears Your strength of purpose above your peers I'm so very proud to say How much I love you - how very much I love you
When we share our joys and laughter As we walk the morning after And discuss our life hereafter I have thoughts I long to say Like I love you
While our time on earth appears to shorten I still remember our first courtin' On the lakeside in midsummer the night I dared to whisper in your ear I love you - how very much I love you
When I place my arms around your shoulder Knowing that we are getting older Hugging you seems so much bolder And easier for me to say I love you - how very much I love you
When the daunting years have passed us by Remember our youth and how very shy Her every hurt would make me cry for her When we pass through time, we grow together Like linen and lace and English leather I often ask myself that whether I'll live long enough to say How much I love you - how very much I love you I love you - how very much I love you
Please walk with me along the road There is no time for getting old This is the time for me to say again How much I love you - how very much I love you My friend.
