Silver Songtext
von Carrie Newcomer

Will you love me when we go silver?
When our ears and noses get bigger
When arthritis starts to nag
And our best parts start to sag

Will you love me in reading glasses?
Kiss my neck and still make passes
And our grandchildren scandalize
By holding hands and making eyes

There is no new way of knowing
But if things keep going the way they′re going
I will promise you once again
I will be with you and we'll be the best of friends

Will you love me if I babble?
Let me win sometimes at Scrabble
Will you help me bear the load
And be somebody I′m still proud to know?


There is no new way of knowing
But if things keep going the way they're going
I will promise you once again
I will be with you and we'll be the best of friends

Will I still be what you need
If I drive below posted speed?
Lay down like spoons in silent wonder
And love me years and days without number

And will you love me when life hurts?
Wake me up if I fall asleep in church
Sit beside me when evening comes
And count our blessings one by one

There is no new way of knowing
But if things keep going the way they′re going
I will promise you once again
I will be with you and we′ll be the best of friends

Will you love me when we go silver?
