Karaoké My Years With You Rustic Drifter

I've spent enough of this life learnin' what matters and what don't

What a man can live without and what he knows he won't

I've watched the years go flyin' by and lost a few along the way

So I don't throw around forever like it's just another word to say

I may have found you late in life but I found you right on time

Whatever mornings I've got left baby they're yours and mine

'Cos I want my years with you however many I get

The good ones when we're laughin'

The hard ones we ain't seen yet

I want the ordinary Tuesdays that the rest of the world would lose

The kitchen light still burnin' while I'm holdin' onto you

Don't know how long forever is but I know what I'm gonna do with every year I'm given

I want my years with you

I wanna learn the little things that only decades teach us

Which side of the bed you steal

The things you cannot reach

What makes you leave the room mad

What makes you turn around

If I'm still on your nerves at eighty

I'll know we figured it out

I want a thousand nothin' special nights that turn to somethin' more

Your shoes kicked off beside mine just inside the kitchen door

I want family fillin' up the house then leavin' us a mess

You lookin' 'round and smilin' while I swear I'll clean the rest

I wanna watch the young ones grow and see who they become

Watch little hands turn into lives and wonder where the time has gone

Then when the house gets quiet like all full houses do

I want the last voice that I hear at night to still be you

'Cos I want my years with you however many I get

The good ones when we're laughin'

The hard ones we ain't seen yet

I want the ordinary Tuesdays that the rest of the world would lose

The kitchen light still burnin' while I'm holdin' onto you

Don't know how long forever is but I know what I'm gonna do with every year I'm given

I want my years with you

And if I'm lucky enough to grow old there beside you there's one thing I hope you know

If you ever wondered whether I knew what I had

I did

I do

I always will

Yeah I want my years with you

Not just the easy ones

Give me the years that change us and the ones that leave their mark

Give me your hand when we're older and gettin' up takes time

I'll still find ways to make you laugh and you'll still make me smile

And if one day one of us has to say goodbye first

I hope the one who's left behind knows just what this was worth

'Cos of all the ways

I could've spent this life of mine

The best years I was given

Were the ones you called me yours and I called you mine

I want my years with you

Every one they'll give me

My years with you

However many I get
