Rory D'Lasnow - 61 Lyrics

Woke up in the middle of the night
Turned to look for the love of my life
Fifty years she was by my side
Fifty years but not tonight

Oh sixty-one - oh its almost done
To feel your hands - to see your face
The joy of life has been erased
And I'm still holding for god knows what

I took my lonely heart outside
I lost my legs under the moon's soft light
In summer's past, she'd join me here
If only just a few more years
My mind wandered as hours flew
Brought back to the days of our youth
Remember when I held your hand
But pulled away when I saw your dad

And oh my god we were so young
We'd argue who's the older one
And way back then that's all we wanted
To run away and get our lives started

Oh sixty-one - oh its almost done
To feel your hands - to see your face
The joy of life has been erased
And I'm still holding for god knows what

You're still pretty and you're still sweet
Just a little weaker on your feet
But time was good to those brown eyes
They're still the same I recognize
From the first time I saw you there
You looked at me I didn't want to stare
But I knew that I had to say something
My poor damn heart - my heart was thumping
I smiled at you - you smiled at me
I thought she cant be smiling at me
Looks to me right now as if she was

As if she was

Oh sixty-one - oh its almost done
To feel your hands - to see your face
The joy of life has been erased
And I'm still holding for god knows what
Said I got no reason to hold on - the love of my whole damn life is gone
Said I'm still holding on for god knows what
Said I'm still holding on for god knows what
