When It's Time

On a bed of white lie silver curls A distant chime now Those bright wedding bells On this day I held your hand Vows exchanged, hearts of young love Our time has sparked so long ago My love, our day has come Would you still walk with me down the aisle After years some good some ill I wouldn't change a single thing Now with brittle bones and heavy eyes I hope to see you when it's time In my heart your laughter still And the smile of your eyes You built the house I grew our meal Through love and labour We both found our peace Years they passed, our day arrived This time to say goodbye I tucked you in for earth to keep One day to join your eternal sleep My love, our day has come Would you still walk with me down the aisle After years some good some ill I wouldn't change a single thing Now with brittle bones and heavy eyes I hope to see you when it's time You went to test the waters Left me to tie loose ends I think I'm better for it At least I tried my best Every drop of life I drank Now with brittle bones and heavy eyes I hope to see you when it's time In my heart your laughter still And the smile of your eyes My love, our day has come My love, our day has come My love, our day has come My love, our day has come My love, our day has come Will you still walk with me down the aisle After years some good some ill I wouldn't change a single thing Now with brittle bones and heavy eyes I hope to see you when it's time You went to test the waters Left me to tie loose ends I think I'm better for it At least I tried my best Every drop of life I drank Now with brittle bones and heavy eyes I hope to see you when it's time
