[Intro]
[Verse]
Some people grow old so gracefully
Others let the short years take their toll
Like you, I travelled miles
And though we always seem to smile
I m just not as good as you at being old
[Verse]
An sometimes we ve not been too nice to each other
On occasion, I ve just been downright bad
In spite of all of this
How come it s you I always seem to miss
And our years have been the best years that I ve had
[Verse]
I remember watching you pack three suitcases
Heading off to Europe on some spree
You ordered me about
And then you left me to keep house
Told me not to bother waving as you d leave
[Verse]
I sat alone and thought about all the good times
Yes, I occupied myself most every day
The trip did us no harm
You came home and rushed into my arms
It was as if you d never even been away
[Chorus]
Come upstairs and spend your life beside me
Come upstairs with that laughter in your eyes
Come upstairs, undo my collar
Babe, you look a million dollars
And I always knew you loved me all the time
[Instrumental]
[Verse]
In the end, I guess it all comes down to something
I may not believe in much these days, that s true
But as I worry about that little thing
Called time upon my hands
I guess I may as well spend some of it with you
[Verse]
And I know that you ve known others and I know that I have too
But in the end, I guess it s only fair to say
That I m really glad we stuck it out
And I m really glad you stayed
Cause I wouldn t have had life any other way
[Chorus]
Come upstairs and spend your life beside me
Come upstairs and we ll order food and dine
Come upstairs, undo my collar
Babe, you look a million dollars
And I always knew you loved me all the time
Come upstairs, undo my collar
Babe, you look a million dollars
And I always knew you loved me all the time
[Outro]
