Eighty-five by Charlie
Eighty-five lyrics
They wake up in the morning and laugh at last night�s cricket game, things have changed. She fixes his tie and he passes her handbag every day, things have changed. They get in the 1962 model they�ve had since new, things have changed. Her eightieth birthday is near and she fears that his breathing will change. He�s eighty-five now and she prays that his heart will stay as strong as when she met him. They�ve sat through so much change without complaint, let his heart stay the same. He opens the door for her, he�s always been such a gentleman, things have changed. She holds the hand she�s held for sixty-two years, the skin is old now, things have changed. He reads the paper, she chats to the waitress, she�s got so many stories to tell, of things that changed .Her eightieth birthday is near and she fears that his breathing will change. He�s eighty-five now and she prays that his heart will stay as strong as when she met him. They�ve sat through so much change without complaint, let his heart stay the same. Sixty-two years ago when she met him, sixty-two years ago when she loved him. Sixty-two years ago when she married him, let his heart stay the same. Till death do them part and she prays that that day will be far away. They�ve sat through so much change without complaint, let his heart stay the same.
