So he’s retired   lives with his sister in a furnished flat   he’s got this suit that   he’ll never wear outside without a hat   his hair is white but he looks half his age   he looks like Jimmy Stewart in his younger days.      And honestly, I might be   stupid to think love is love   but I do   and you’ve waited so long and   I’ve waited long enough for you.      My mother’s calling   from where she's living up in Troy, Vermont   she tries to tell me   a father figure must be what I want   I’ve always thought age makes no difference   am I the only one to whom that’s making sense?      And honestly, I might be   stupid to think love is love   but I do   and you’ve waited so long and   I’ve waited long enough for you.      The day I met him he was raking leaves   in his tiny yard.   Of course I know that   we’ve only got ten years, or twenty, left   but to be honest   I’m happy with whatever time we get   depending on which book you read   sometimes it takes a lifetime to get what you need.      And honestly, I might be   stupid to think love is love   but I do   and you’ve waited so long and   I’ve waited long enough for you.
