Song Title: I just can't bear to see you grow old
Time has been unkind my love's not fully known
I just can't bear to see you grow old
I see the corners of your eyes aren't smooth and clear
I see your temples lose the dark ink they used to wear
How did you age so soon Our love's still not complete
The ride we dreamed of —we never traced those winding streets
The Great Wall we planned —I never stood there with you as a"hero"
You've aged before my eyes all the promises I owe
Time why must you be so cruel and fast
I haven't given you the warmth that's meant to last
I just can't bear to see you grow old my words still in the air
Every wrinkle on your face is a scar of my delay
I just can't bear to see you grow old your white hair stings my sight
All the tomorrows we swore to have have shattered in the night
I feel your steps are no longer steady on the ground
I see your silhouette no longer soft and round
How did you age so soon Our love's still not enough
The sour fish dish —I never learned to make it right
The ski trip we planned —we never danced in the western light
You've aged before my eyes all the vows I still owe
Years why do you have to be so short and mean
I haven't taken you to see the world's joy and pain
I just can't bear to see you grow old my promises undone
Every shadow of your back whispers what I should have won
I just can't bear to see you grow old your steps have turned so slow
All the distant places we swore to go have lost their glow
Thank god I woke up —it was nothing but a dream
You're still as beautiful as the first time I'd seen
From this day on no more empty words I'll speak
As you slowly grow old right beside you I will stay
On every line of time I'll write"I love you"all the way
If this life is not enough —in the next I'll love you the same
