Older

The mockingbird's song isn't as sweet as a smile from you
Though your heart has broke as easily as it's clasp
We hold it together with rope and safety pins
The way you walk into the world with me at your side
Makes the mockingbird's song seem an opera

Soprano voices drift upon the wind chimes by our porch
As we swing in time with the traffic floating by
Holding hands, no longer functioned to dance
We are in sync as we're silent like ships in the night
Makes solitude a mere past time, unwelcome in solace of company

Time will go by faster each year we grow older
Trust has risen more. Through romance love will be stronger
No matter who questions. We'll still be together
The way you walk into the world with me at your side
Makes me want to fly higher and higher

Your actions show me what words can never accomplish
That you're here with me and I'm not leaving
I swear you're not either, my mockingbird song
Tonight's moon, the day's sun
Neither can hold a candle to the glow of faith

Time will go by faster each year we grow older
We'll want it to stop
And turning, we will stop, to face judgement
In the land that time forgot
We'll sit on clouds of white

Your smile is an opera
That makes my heart fly
