So he's retired
  Lives with his sister in a furnished flat
  He's got this suit that
  He'll never wear outside without a hat
  His hair is white but he looks half his age
  He looks like jimmy stewart in his younger days.
  
  And honestly, i might be
  Stupid to think love is love
  But i do
  And you've waited so long and
  I've waited long enough for you.
  
  My mother's calling
  From where she's living up in troy, vermont
  She tries to tell me
  A father figure must be what i want
  I've always thought age makes no difference
  Am i the only one to whom that's making sense?
  
  And honestly, i might be
  Stupid to think love is love
  But i do
  And you've waited so long and
  I've waited long enough for you.
  
  The day i met him he was raking leaves
  In his tiny yard.
  Of course i know that
  We've only got ten years, or twenty, left
  But to be honest
  I'm happy with whatever time we get
  Depending on which book you read
  Sometimes it takes a lifetime to get what you need.
  
  And honestly, i might be
  Stupid to think love is love
  But i do
  And you've waited so long and
  I've waited long enough for you.
