Let Me Live

When I grow old let me age with care With the same love I gave in every tender stare Let me share my stories even if they're known With the patience I had when your heart first found its tone Let me conquer the day just as I let you win Let me find joy in friends through thick and thin Let me cherish the moments with the grandkids I see For in their eyes it's you I believe Let me live let me be Bring joy to my final days with you Give me your hand like I gave you mine For I paved your path with love and time Let me keep my treasures those memories so dear For I feel the loss when pieces disappear Let me make mistakes like you did in your youth I never shamed you I spoke the truth Let me feel at home in the world I knew Just as I built a home a world for you Let me find my peace in the twilight's gleam For I am the roots the base of your dream Let me live let me be Bring joy to my final days with you Give me your hand like I gave you mine For I paved your path with love and time Remember the nights the stories we shared The laughter the tears how much I cared As the days grow shorter my love stays bright Hold my hand through the fading light Let me live let me be Bring joy to my final days with you Give me your hand like I gave you mine For I paved your path with love and time Let me live let me dream For the end is but a new beginning it seems With the love we hold let me find my way In your heart I'll forever stay
