I'll be the one
That stays 'till the end
And I'll be the one
That needs you again
And I'll be the one that proposes
In a garden of roses
And truly loves you long after
Our curtain closes

But will you still love me
When nobody wants me around
When I turn 81 and forget things
Will you still be proud?

Cause I am the one
That waited this long
And I am the one
That might get it wrong
And I'll be the one
That will love you
The way I'm supposed to, girl

But will you still love me
When nobody wants me around, around
When I turn 81 and forget things
Will you still be proud?

Proud of me
Of my short list of accomplishments
Me and my lack of new news
Me and my selfishness
Or me and myself wish you nothing
But a happy new version of you
Cause I, I, I
I want you to tell me you find it hard
To be yourself so I can say
"it's gonna be alright. "
And I want you to love me
The way you love your family
The way you love to show me
What it's like to be happy
