Years

My neighbors been married since 1963

He still holds the door just like when they were teens

I asked them for the secret for the day that I meet mine

They said smile often, talk it out

And always keep in mind

You can’t count on every minute

And Rome didn’t take a day

Even though it’s months from now

It’ll soon be yesterday

Yeah we all want love now

Without blood, sweat, or tears

But there’s something in the beauty

Of the things that take years

My sisters hey tell me I’m gonna find the one

That patience is needed just as much love

It’s gonna take sunshine and water to make that garden grow

So while you’re digging up the dirt

The only thing you need to know

You can’t count on every minute

And Rome didn’t take a day

Even though it’s months from now

It’ll soon be yesterday

Yea we all want love now

Without blood, sweat, or tears

But there’s something in the beauty

Of the things that take years

It’s the same to make a home

Or chase a dream down a winding road

Time is love, sometimes you just gotta let it roll

You can’t count on every minute

And Rome didn’t take a day

Even though it’s months from now

It’ll soon be yesterday

Yea we all want love now

Without blood, sweat, or tears

But there’s something in the beauty

Of the things that take years
