I’m walking with my darling, it’s a sunny day,

It seems like years since we’ve been down this way,

We used to take this walk every day,

Walking our daily blues away.

When we dreamed about getting old together,

We never thought there’d be so much stormy weather,

I hurt you and you pained me too,

It seems like a miracle that we got through.

But we made it, we made it so far –

I just want to be just where you are.

This might not be what we were dreaming of,

But it’s an older and wiser love

Young love, it cuts two ways,

You want to hunker down, and fly away,

You want to be true, but in the field of play,

You want to listen hard but you’ve too much to say.

Then there’s babies crying, bills to pay,

Now you don’t have so much say,

You slam the door and you curse our fate,

Leave home early and come home late –

But we made it, we made so far,

Now I just want to be just where you are —

Whatever it was we once were dreaming of,

We’ve got our higher and deeper love.

It’s a cold cold world we’re living in,

selling darkness, and buying sin,

Wherever you look people can’t keep trust,

Rather run over one another than help each other up.

We flew high, we took our chances,

We saw our Romes and our Paris, Frances,

Tasted honey from some wildwood flowers,

Lost some years in some passionate hours.

But we made it, we made so far,

Now I just want to be just where you are —

Whatever it was we once were dreaming of,

We’ve got our higher and deeper love.
