lyrics

Take me as I am, and I will take you as you are
By the hand, and hopefully we make it far,
In our tenure at Senior Suites.

Show me what you got, dilaudid and oxys on deck,
That’s a lot. I notice wrinkles in your neck,
Make me feel a way I’ve never felt.

What’s so wrong with growing old?
Our families left us here in the cold.
Real sense of connection.
Object of affection,
Has gracefully entered my cloudy point of view.

I’ve been around so long so I’m not afraid to say
That I love you, I love you, I love you.

You make me sing la la la la la la la la.
