They say when a door closes
A million others open
They say when you lose a lover
That soon there will come another
What if it was you
The one I'd go back to
Realizing what you had
Once it all shatters on the sand
You remember the very first
The second as well as the third
You're the one, the only one
I'm as certain as the sun
Grow old with me
In a pond, in the mud
Be my cuddling elephant
Corridors and their corners
Accomplices of romance
You look at a sky of chances
Wondering how to fit in there
What if it was you
The one I'd go back to
The point of your legacy
Is in the little things
You hope you left them with
If they decide to leave
Grow old with me
In a pond, in the mud
Be my cuddling elephant
Lay with me
Through this song, sing along
It's loud and unconditional
Lie to me tenderly
To let me be your kin
Lie to me gradually
To let years win the fear
Lie to me tenderly only in order
To let me be your kin or even bolder
Lie to me gradually only in order
To let years win the fear of getting older
Grow old with me
In a pond, in the mud
Be my cuddling elephant
Lay with me
Through this song, sing along
It's loud and unconditional
Grow old with me
In a pond, in the mud
Be my cuddling elephant
