Lyrics

When your   don't work like they used to before
And I can't   you   of your  
Will your   still remember the taste of my love
Will your eyes still smile from your  

And darling I will be   you 'til we're 70
And baby my heart could still   as   at 23
And I'm thinking 'bout  
people fall in love in   ways
Maybe just the   of a hand
Oh me I fall in love with you every single day
And I just wanna tell you I am

So   now
Take me into your loving arms
Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
Place your head on my beating heart
I'm thinking out loud
Maybe we found love right where we are

When my hair's all but gone and my memory  
And the   don't remember my name
When my   don't play the strings the same way,

I know you will still love me the same
'Cause honey your soul can never   old,
it's  
Baby your smile's forever in my mind and memory

I'm thinking 'bout how
people fall in love in mysterious ways
Maybe it's all part of a  
I'll just keep on making the   mistakes
Hoping that you'll  

But baby now
Take me into your loving arms
Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
Place your head on my beating heart
I'm thinking out loud
That maybe we found love right where we are, oh

(Ah la la, la la la, la la la, la la la la)

So baby now
Take me into your loving arms
Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
Oh darling, place your head on my beating heart
I'm thinking out loud
That maybe we found love right where we are

Oh maybe we found love right where we are
And we found love right where we are
