Like A Coat From the Cold
by Guy Clark
I found comfort and courage from bottles of whiskey.
I swear to you friends these old high times sure seem risky.
I have backed away gently from those who tried to burn me. and blocked up my ears that no one should learn me.
But the lady beside me is the one I have chosen
To walk through life with me like a coat from the cold
I have flown like a bird from every cage that confined me
and broken every one of the ties that bind me
I have danced me around some sad ol' sad ol' situations
and taken my share of those sweet invitations
But the lady beside me is the one I have chosen
To walk through life with me like a coat from the cold
Grow Old Along With Me
by John Lennon (as sung my Mary Chapin Carpenter)
Grow old along with me
The best is yet to be
When our time has come
We will be as one
God bless our love
God bless our love
Grow old along with me
Two branches of one tree
Face the setting sun
When the day is done
God bless our love
God bless our love
Spending our lives together
Man and wife together
World without end
World without end
Grow old along with me
Whatever fate decrees
We will see it through
For our love is true
God bless our love
God bless our love
(I think I'm going to cry . . . thanks, guys . . . anybody nauseated?)

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! So sweet!
It's one of the curses of long road trips amd too much time together in a confined space.
I've sung the second one at several weddings...always a good choice.
I have to laugh...this made me think of a song my dad always liked and associated with my mom.
It was called "You're my Bestest Friend", by Mac Davis.
One of the lines was, "And who discreetly whispers I forgot to zip my pants? You, babe...you're my bestest friend."
That's love.
Sudie -- the older I get the more I need friends like that, too. Thanks for the comment.
