You've got a dear and gentle lady with you,
Who will not tell you what to do,
Hold her close to your heart,
'Cause you don't know when she will start to die-
Chorus:
Because-
Time decays even the best of us
Yes time will age, it is the test of us,
Yes, time will change all of the rest of us
(whoa-oh-whoa-oh)
We're all gonna die someday
You've got a kind, sweet lady to love,
So you need a man like a hand fits a glove,
But don't lose respect for her, mama,
Because once she's gone,
You can't ressurect her love-
So won't you shower her with all of your care-
Because, you know, she won't always
Be here,
Never put her down,
Because she won't always be around to love-
