Younger Than You Were

Thirty years ago we were married in late June I never thought I could love you more than on that sweet honeymoon But there's something about you lately really caught my eye The decades have become you, babe; here's the reason why There's a wiggle in your walk I've never seen before There's humour round those laughter lines, so self assured And your loving's free and easy now, it takes my breath away I tell you, darling, I want you more with every passing day So come on, sweet Denise, you're my favourite masterpiece With your deep brown eyes and your silver hair You say you're getting older. I know age is just a number 'Cause to me you're so much younger than you were We've had our downs and ups, we've had our share of rain We braved the heavy weather till the sun came out again But there's something about you lately lights me up inside When you're standing close to me, I fair burst with pride There's a wisdom in your words handed down from time A tingle in your fingers, girl, when your hand's in mine When you kiss me, there is nowhere I would rather be I tell you, darling, your company is home sweet home to me So come on, sweet Denise, you're my favourite masterpiece With your deep brown eyes and your silver hair You say you're getting older. I know age is just a number 'Cause to me you're so much younger than you were You say you've seen a change in me. Well, I've seen a change in you You ain't so hard, you dropped your guard, let your softer side shine through Sometimes the drudge has made me feel invisible and small But when you say those words to me, I'm walking ten feet tall It's true it's been a bit of a rollercoaster ride But at least it wasn't the merry-go-round and round and round and round and round So come on, sweet Denise, you're my favourite masterpiece With your deep brown eyes and your silver hair You say you're getting older. I know age is just a number 'Cause to me you're so much younger than you were
