There was a man of eighty
His wife said oh darling dont save me now
Its time to go
And she started crying
He said my love hold on dont worry now
I'll carry you home
He said I told you once
When we were young
That I would be the one
To see you off
So close your eyes
and rest my love
I'll carry you home
People write so many love songs
But they leave out so much of the truth oh love
You know its painful too
And we're afraid of being abandoned
But darling one day its bound to happen so
I'll be abandoned by you
I will be the one
To see you go
and I will be the one
To carry you home
and on the die that you die
My love I know
I'll follow you
Somehow along the way we forgot what love costs
Somewhere along the way we forgot what love costs
It will be lost
It will be lost but it will be had
Darling please hold me while I'm sad
Darling please tell me we'll be alright
Darling please love me tonight
Somewhere along the way we forgot
What love costs
