lyrics

She’s lying there beside me in a dark and lonely bed
Silent over something that I didn’t know I said
Maybe it’s just growing pains, maybe it’s regret
Maybe she and I don’t have it figured out just yet

Morning cup of coffee with my old man on the phone
He said you ain’t gonna lose her, boy just keep on keepin’ on
Your mom and me been through it all, we’ve seen the highs and lows
There ain’t a whole lot to it, but the only thing I know is that —  

For every kiss and starry eye,
For every bittersweet goodbye
And every blue sky at the beginning,
There’s forty years of getting by,
And life and death and restless nights
And every now and then you come up winning
But it’s in the sticking with it anyway
Oh love ain’t just a young man’s game

It ain’t that dozen roses, or that first nervous smile
It ain’t that thrill that made you feel alive for a little while
It’s moving a little slower, it’s sitting by her side
It’s her hand in your hand, up every hill every time

For every kiss and starry eye,
For every bittersweet goodbye
And every blue sky at the beginning,
There’s 40 years of getting by,
And life and death and restless nights
And every now and then you come up winning
But it’s in the stickin’ with it anyway
Oh love ain’t just a young man’s game
