honey, I think you’re going to stay young forever

you say you’ve got the heart of an old man
yet your youth bursts through in ways you can’t stand

you’ve got mischief that twinkles in your eyes
i don’t see it fading as time goes by

the chocolate waves of your hair
wouldn’t fit grays anywhere

when I watch you put my car on a jack stand
i can’t see you getting arthritis in your hands

honey I think you’re going to stay young forever
stay that way without me.
