Yesterday, you said my name I´ve heard it called a thousand times But you don´t make it sound the same My future flashed before my eyes And something told me I´d be fine
With your shoulder next to mine
There when the world gets hard to take I´ll be a lighthouse, so safe, so safe
When you´re tired of getting older The cracks begin to show up There´s creases ´round your eyes for all to see And when memories disappear Well, I´ll still hold them dear ´Cause butterflies don´t fly away with years
Today you woke me from a dream But how could I ever be mad When you´re the first thing that I see? I went downstairs and made you tea When you´d forgotten it went cold I replaced it secretly
All of the things that bother me You make ´em fade so easy, so easy
When you´re tired of getting older The cracks begin to show up There´s creases ´round your eyes for all to see And when memories disappear Well, I´ll still hold them dear ´Cause butterflies don´t fly away with years With years, with years, with years, with years
When it rains in the kitchen (With years) When you change your religion (With years) When you´re sick of forgiving (With years) When you´re starting to weather (With years) And you´re not getting better (With years) And you can´t quite remember
When you´re tired of getting older The cracks begin to show up There´s creases ´round your eyes for all to see And when memories disappear Well I´ll still hold them dear ´Cause butterflies don´t fly away with years ´Cause butterflies don´t fly away with years, hmm
