He picked her up sunflowers
On a Sunday afternoon
They sat out on the porch swing
Underneath a crescent moon
A lifetime seemed to pass
Staring at the skies
And on the swing, he gave her the ring
There were tears in her eyes
I said "I pray I'm not alone,
In my dreams about forever."
That you and I could become one
And always be together
We'd grow old and wise, through all the days
For worse or for better
And I'll be true, cause I love you
Even now, more than ever
Chorus:
And my, time flies
But we'll fly farther
Into the night where the eyes of loneliness can never bother
All our dreams of together, uneclipsed by never never
And my, time flies, it's in your eyes
But we'll fly farther
Fifty years have ridden off into the sunset
And the tears that we have cried have overflown
And here we are, counting scars
Wounds of life's unending upset
You're with me, and I'm with you
And I will never forget
Chorus
Instrumental Bridge
He picked her up sunflowers
On a Sunday afternoon
He rode the greyhound bus
Past the house they used to swoon
He knelt beside the grave
Hung his head, a tear drop fell
And on the stone, epitaph shone
The words he knew so well
