Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Say, my love, I came to you with
Best intention
You laid down to give to me just
What I'm seeking
Say, love, you drive me to distraction
[Verse 2]
Oh, my love, do you believe that we
Might last a thousand years
Or more if not for this?
Our flesh and blood
It ties you and me right up
Tie me down, oh, well
[Chorus]
Celebrate we will
'Cause life is short, but
Sweet for certain, hey
We climb on two by two
To be sure these days continue
Things we cannot change
Change
Why would I want to change it?
Change
[Verse 3]
Hey, my love, you came to me like
Wine comes to this mouth
Grown tired of water all the time
You quench my heart and, oh
You quench my mind, and say
[Chorus]
Celebrate we will
'Cause life is short, but
Sweet for certain, hey
We climb on two by two
To be sure these days continue
Things we can find to
Celebrate you and me (Celebrate, we will)
Climb on two by two, to be sure (Climb on two by two, climb on two by two)
These days continue (These days continue)
Things we cannot change
Change, change
[Verse 4]
Oh, my love, I came to you
With best intention
You laid down to give to me
Just what I'm seeking
Say, love, watch me celebrate, yeah
[Chorus]
Celebrate we will
'Cause life is short, but
Sweet for certain, hey
We climb on two by two
To be sure these days continue
Things we cannot change
[Outro]
Celebrate we will
Climb on two by two
Climb on two by two
Celebrate these days come to
Things we cannot change
