An 84 Year Old Man Wrote This About His Wife
This is a story about my wife, my sweet wife
Her name is Grace i met her in 1953
She had freckles on her face
A poodle skirt, it was
Navy blue, saddle shoes
They were black and white
I said, "My name is AJ
I’d like to take you out tonight"
She said, "You’re very handsome
Sir, with your outfit, i’m impressed
But a lady ain't a lady if
She so easily says yes
I may change my mind one day and
Let you take me on a date"
I said, "Your beauty is so
Boundless, you’re so perfect, i would wait
Until the very last day of my life
I swear it’s true
I’d die happy knowing I spent at
Least one day with you"
Did she finally agree to see me? Why, yes
She did we were married a year later
We had 2 great kids
We were married a year later
We were unified as one
We had a daughter named
Nicole, we had Anthony, he’s our son
We bought a tiny house with a
Yard, it had a dog, his name was Moon
I used to watch Grace
Garden every Sunday afternoon
I used to watch the sun dance
Off of her golden skin
Her curly locks of hers bounced
In the calm wind she used to hold my hands
As our fingers intertwined she’d say
"All I really want to do is
Kiss you one more time"
All I really want to do is
Kiss you one more time
All I really want to do is
Kiss you one more time she’d say
"All I really want to do is
Kiss you one more time"
Then I'd lock my lips with hers
And we would go somewhere divine
We were married 10 years
We were married 20 years
We were married 30 years
Every day our love grew more
We were married 40 years
We were married 50 years
We were married 60 years
Then we were married 64 i use to hold her as
We danced inside our kitchen
My life felt complete
Not a single piece was missing
I fell in love so many
Times throughout my life
But every single time was
With the same woman, and she’s my wife
Growing old with someone hurts
It's a process full of pain
Sometimes the sunny days are full
Of black clouds and rain
You need to have kids and grandkids
It’s the truth
So as you approach your final days
You can still enjoy your youth
My sweet wife, her name was Grace
She started walking with a cane
In her smile, I could see
Love, but in her eyes, i could see pain
I can’t forget the day she told me
She could really see the end
I told her underneath it all
She’s always been my greatest friend
Every single night before we’d go to
Sleep and close our eyes she’d look at me
She wouldn’t say "Good night"
She’d say "Goodbye"
I remember the last night she went
To sleep and closed her eyes
We held each other one final
Time and said "Goodbye" and then she died
I locked my lips with hers
And we went somewhere divine
All your friends and family were
At the funeral in tears even Anthony came
You hadn’t spoken to him in years
My sweet wife, her name was Grace
How I miss you oh so much
I still possess your memories
But I sure miss your touch
I still possess your memories
But I sure miss your touch
I know your soul was not inside
The ashes or the dust
All I want to do is kiss you one more time
All I really want to do is
Kiss you one more time
All I really want to do is
Kiss you one more time
I can’t wait to see you in heaven, baby
It’ll be so divine love, AJ
