As the party was ending,
I saw you approaching me
and you said you never felt a colder night,
and as the crickets sang their waltzy
beneath the lonely moon
said the stars reminded you of christmas lights
and i walked you back to twelfth street
and i let you wear my hat
passed dollar pizza and twelve dollar beer
and though we were strangers, like the bars empty crowd
said if you could be anywhere, it wouldn't be here
doesn't mean that we are meant to be,
doesn't mean that you are mine
no one knows if love lasts eternity
all i know is we've got time.
now i take you out to dinner
although you hate dressing up
and we choose the table closes to the window
and i seem to love you more, every single day
and i think that this is it but how should i know
and i'm strumming as you sing
john crying out on the lawn
and we smile as the days pass us by
and sometimes we watch the sunrise
from the window near our bed
we're still in love and no one wonders why
doesnt mean that we're meant to be
doesn't mean that you are mine
no one knows if love lasts eternity
all i know is we've got time
the years they flew right by us
but we never look back
there's still another day behind the sun
there are canes against the staircase
and silver in our hair
but what's the use in dwelling before it's done
i guess it means that we are meant to be
i guess it means that you are mine
no one knows if love lasts eternity
all i know is we've got time
oh oh
all i know is we've got time
