We were late for the service
It started at nine
Fucked up by the jet lag and last night´s box wine
My suit barely fit

But you said I looked fine
And you´d love me til the day I die

Old men with umbrellas were staring us down
As a 12 year old boy threw some dirt in the ground
I whispered a joke while I tried not to cry
And thought "I´ll love her til the day I die"

So life unwinds
There´s no fooling time
I´ll take every night that she sleeps at my side
And love her til the day I die

We were late for old age
But it suited us fine
I got used to the aches
And how old fingers don´t align

But I´d never let go and hoped you take it as a sign
That I´d love you til the day I die

So life unwinds
Failed to fool time
I´ll take every night that she sleeps at my side
And love her til the day I die

Now I can´t be late ´cause I´m here all the time
Smiling through the morphine that drips down the line
And if heaven denies me, I don´t think I´ll mind
Cause I loved her til the day I died
I loved her til the day I died
