“I'll Still Say Yours” lyrics

Save me a spot in the rocking chairs

I don't want the parties, I don't want the plane
I just want your socks on my side of the bed again
I don't need forever in a movie kind of way
Just a porch and your hand and a glass of lemonade
You can keep the diamonds, you can keep the view
All I really wanted was an older you
Coffee in the morning and the paper on the floor
Arguing on crosswords like we did before
Tell me that you'll stay till the paint wears thin
Tell me that you'll stay till the paint wears thin

And if I go first, don't you cry too long
Just hum me this song
And if you go first, I'll be right along
Just hum me this song

Save me a spot in the rocking chairs
When we're gray and we only just sit and stare
Even when I'm forgetting my name
I'll still say yours in the rocking chairs

Rocking chairs, rocking chairs
Mm, I'll be there
In the rocking chairs

You'll be slow on the stairs and I'll laugh at you
You'll say look who's talking 'cause I'm slower too
We'll fight about the thermostat and make up by noon
We'll dance in the kitchen to a scratchy tune
Kids will call on Sunday and we'll talk too long
You'll say I'm still pretty and I'll say you're wrong
Grandkids on the carpet and the dog asleep
All the little moments that we get to keep
Grow old with me, baby, grow old with me soon
Grow old with me, baby, under every moon

And if I go first, don't you cry too long
Just hum me this song
And if you go first, I'll be right along
Just hum me this song

Save me a spot in the rocking chairs
When we're gray and we only just sit and stare
Even when I'm forgetting my name
I'll still say yours in the rocking chairs

Seventy, eighty, ninety years
I'll still be here, I'll still be here
Ninety-one and I won't hear
But I'll still be here
Seventy, eighty, ninety years
I'll still be here

Save me a spot in the rocking chairs
When we're gray and we only just sit and stare
Even when I'm forgetting my name
I'll still say yours in the rocking chairs

Rocking chairs, rocking chairs
Mm, I'll be there
In the rocking chairs
