You wake up slowly from your sleep
Languid you lie there on the sheets
I brush the hair back from your head
And hold you closely in our bed
What could I say to you
To let you know
How much you mean to me
And how we've grown
We're much older now
Time has shown
That love grows sweeter everyday
17 years now that we've seen
And all the happiness that it brings
There's some heartache in there too
But I'm still in love with you
It's hard to understand just what it means
When you're young and in love and full of your dreams
You gamely step into the void
Unknowing just what it holds
What could I say to you
To let you know
How much you mean to me
And how we've grown
We're much older now
Time has shown
That love grows sweeter everyday
That love grows sweeter everyday
That love grows sweeter everyday
