You were just a baby I was four years old Playing war on my tricycle When daddy got home, I'd jump into his arms Somewhere in America time stood still For two little people on opposite hills And how were they to know? But time moves quickly when you're standing in place Eat the same old breakfast, with the same old face, They send you off to school Before I could see you I was seeing a wholesome need for protection in everyone's soul I was not unique Now, I think to be seventy-four with an old screen door And a woman like you to walk through Would be alright with me I wanna lay with you under full moon glow Stay warm in my sleeping bag, Lay down low You ease my way of mind Everything about you is bringing me joy I could spend long hours Be your water boy You know, you know Where I'll be found Somewhere in the universe time stood still For the man who remembered the boy on the hill How was I, how was I to know? And now, I think to be seventy-four with an old screen door And a woman like you to walk through to would be- I, I think to be seventy-four with an old screen door And a woman like you to walk through to would be alright I think to be seventy-four with an old screen door And a woman like you to walk through would be alright with me
