Sixty and My Heart Says Yes

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Sixty candles, one breath, one wish Then I put on my favorite shirt At the little place on Maple Street You caught my eye before dessert You said, “Is this seat taken?” I said, “Only by my coat” We laughed like we had all night And walked out talking slow [Pre-Chorus] I thought the best days had gone by Turns out I was wrong There’s a whole new page to turn And I’m ready to begin [Chorus] I’m sixty and my heart says yes Still got room for tenderness A hand to hold, a kiss goodnight A brand-new spark, a second first time I’m sixty, and I’m stepping in With open arms and a foolish grin Love didn’t miss me, love just took its time And now there’s a little more room in my life [Verse 2] We trade old stories over coffee You show me photos of your garden I tell you how I missed the last train Just to hear you laugh again We take the long way past the river Your sleeve brushes into mine No need to hurry, no need to prove This kind of joy is right on time [Pre-Chorus] I thought the best days had gone by Turns out I was wrong There’s a whole new page to turn And I’m ready to begin [Chorus] I’m sixty and my heart says yes Still got room for tenderness A hand to hold, a kiss goodnight A brand-new spark, a second first time I’m sixty, and I’m stepping in With open arms and a foolish grin Love didn’t miss me, love just took its time And now there’s a little more room in my life [Bridge] No borrowed clock can tell me when The sweetest chapter should begin We’ve got our own pace, our own way And I’m glad I saved this smile for today [Final Chorus] I’m sixty and my heart says yes Still got room for tenderness A hand to hold, a kiss goodnight A brand-new spark, a second first time I’m sixty, and I’m stepping in With open arms and a foolish grin Love didn’t miss me, love just took its time And now there’s a little more room in my life [Outro] Sixty candles, one wish came true There’s still so much love to do
