When I woke up today I said your name

And brushed your hair back from your face

You know I really wish that I could stay

But you know I have to go

When I woke some things had changed

We lost some friends along the way

But there’s one thing that always stays the same

The love you have for me

‘Cause every day I’m older than I ever thought I’d be

The world is getting colder at least metaphorically

Some day this whole damn city will be swallowed by the sea

But no matter what at least I know you’ll still be loving me

Ahhh no matter what at least I know you’ll still be loving me

When I woke up today it felt the same

As the first time I called your name

Said darling, would you like to stay

And dance with me tonight

And she said of course my dear no need to fear

My heart is full when you are here

So take my hand and hold it near

I’ll stay with you tonight

‘Cause every day I’m older than I ever thought I’d be

The world is getting colder at least metaphorically

Some day this whole damn city will be swallowed by the sea

But no matter what at least I know you’ll still be loving me

Ahhh no matter what at least I know you’ll still be loving me

I may never be a father but I’ll always be a son

And not a thing could ever take away my mother’s love

She told me try to keep a smile on, even if it’s tough

And never let your heart get hard ‘cause life is hard enough

When I woke up today my hair was grey

My hands shook as I touched your face

You’re still beautiful every single day

Just look how far we’ve come

‘Cause every day I’m older than I ever thought I’d be

The world is getting colder at least metaphorically

Some day this whole damn city will be swallowed by the sea

But no matter what at least I know you’ll still be loving me

Ahhh no matter what at least I know you’ll still be loving me

I may never be a father but I’ll always be a son

And not a thing could ever take away my mother’s love

She told me try to keep a smile on, even if it’s tough

And never let your heart get hard ‘cause life is hard enough
