And left him crying next to the chapel's steps Let's grow old together And die at the same time Let's grow old together And die at the same time He said, "Let's grow old together And die at the same time" "Let's grow old together And die at the same time", he said He said to lose my life or lose my love That's the nightmare I've been running from So let me hold you in my arms a while (let's grow old together) I was careless as a child (and die at the same time) There's a part of me that still believes (let's grow old together) My soul will soar above the trees (and die at the same time) A desperate fear flows through my blood (let's grow old together) Our dead love's buried beneath the mud (and die at the same time) A desperate fear flows through my blood (let's grow old together) Our dead love's buried beneath the mud (and die at the same time)
