An 84 Year Old Man Wrote This About His Wife

Lyrics

[Verse 1] This is a story about my wife, my sweet wife, her name is Grace I met her in 1953, she had freckles on her face A poodle skirt, it was navy blue, saddle shoes, they were black and white I said, "My name is A.J., I'd like to take you out tonight" She said, "You're very handsome, sir; with your outfit, I'm impressed But a lady ain't a lady if she so easily says yes I may change my mind one day and let you take me on a date" I said, "Your beauty is so boundless, you're so perfect, I would wait Until the very last day of my life, I swear it's true I'd die happy knowing I spent at least one day with you" Did she finally agree to see me? Why, yes, she did We were married a year later, we had 2 great kids We were married a year later, we were unified as one We had a daughter named Nicole; we had Anthony, he's our son We bought a tiny house with a yard, it had a dog, his name was Moon I used to watch Grace garden every Sunday afternoon I used to watch the sun dance off of her golden skin Her curly locks of hers bounced in the calm wind She used to hold my hands as our fingers intertwined She'd say, "All I really want to do is kiss you one more time" [Hook] All I really want to do is kiss you one more time All I really want to do is kiss you one more time She'd say, "All I really want to do is kiss you one more time" Then I'd lock my lips with hers and we would go somewhere divine [Verse 2] We were married 10 years, we were married 20 years We were married 30 years; every day, our love grew more We were married 40 years, we were married 50 years We were married 60 years, then we were married 64 I use to hold her as we danced inside our kitchen My life felt complete, not a single piece was missing I fell in love so many times throughout my life But every single time was with the same woman, and she's my wife Growing old with someone hurts, it's a process full of pain Sometimes the sunny days are full of black clouds and rain You need to have kids and grandkids, it's the truth So as you approach your final days, you can still enjoy your youth [Verse 3] My sweet wife, her name was Grace, she started walking with a cane In her smile, I could see love, but in her eyes, I could see pain I can't forget the day she told me she could really see the end I told her underneath it all, she's always been my greatest friend Every single night before we'd go to sleep and close our eyes She'd look at me, she wouldn't say good night, she'd say goodbye I remember the last night she went to sleep and closed her eyes We held each other one final time and said goodbye And then she died I locked my lips with hers and we went somewhere divine All your friends and family were at the funeral in tears Even Anthony came, you hadn't spoken to him in years My sweet wife, her name was Grace, how I miss you oh so much I still possess your memories, but I sure miss your touch I still possess your memories, but I sure miss your touch I know your soul was not inside the ashes or the dust [Hook] All I want to do is kiss you one more time All I really want to do is kiss you one more time All I really want to do is kiss you one more time I can't wait to see you in heaven, baby, it'll be so divine Love, A.J
