You let me in to your life on a whim
And there was magic and fire in the night
In loving I was just a little boy
I made mistakes that caused you so much pain
All I know is that I'm older now
Some people think that it's best to refrain
From the conventions of old-fashioned love
Their hearts are filled with holes and emptiness
They tell themselves that they're too young to settle down
Well I promise that I'm older now
And this has been hard enough for you
I know it's been hard enough for me
Been telling myself that I can roll with the changes
And when the water gets high above your head
Darling don't you see
While this has been hard enough for you
It's been hard enough for me
I wasn't looking when we built these walls
Let me spread my dreams at your feet
Let's not let time's bitter flood rise
Before my thoughts begin to run
I think I'm getting older now
And this has been hard enough for you
I know it's been hard enough for me
Been telling myself that I can roll with the changes
And when the water gets high above your head
Darling don't you see
While this has been hard enough for you
It's been hard enough for me
I can't stand the thought of another talking to you sweet my dear
Where would I be tonight if you hadn't held me here in your arms?
And this has been hard enough for you
I know it's been hard enough for me
Been telling myself that I can roll with the changes
And when the water gets high above your head
Darling don't you see
While this has been hard enough for you
It's been hard enough for me
