Love Grows Sweeter

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
