Their Hearts Were Full Of Spring
There's a story told of a very gentle boy
And the girl who wore his ring
Through the wintery snow
The world they knew was warm
For their hearts were full of spring
There's a story told of a very gentle boy
And the girl who wore his ring
Through the wintery snow
The world they knew was warm
For their hearts were full of spring
As the days grew old
And the nights passed into time
And the weeks and years took wing
Gentle boy, tender girl
Their love remained still young
For their hearts were full of spring
And the nights passed into time
And the weeks and years took wing
Gentle boy, tender girl
Their love remained still young
For their hearts were full of spring
Then one day they died
And their graves were side by side
On a hill where robins sing
And they say violets
Grow there the whole year round
For their hearts were full of spring
And their graves were side by side
On a hill where robins sing
And they say violets
Grow there the whole year round
For their hearts were full of spring

This is your story.
It is a story that circles the globe
at every latitude and longitude where people exist.
It is told in every country, on every continent.
Every household, every family tells and retells
this story from one generation to the next.
There's no end to the story and no stopping it.
It is a good story. Who would want to?
As your days grow old and
your nights pass into time and
your days and weeks take wing,
may your world be warm
and your heart full of spring.

I will love you
always...
When your face is full of the lines
of every smile you have
ever smiled,
of every surprise I have seen
flash through your eyes,
when
every tear you have ever cried
has left its mark upon your face,
I will
treasure you all the more,
because I was there to see it all.
Grow Old Along With Me
John Lennon
1980
based on a poem
by Robert Browning
Grow old along with me
The best is yet to be
When our time has come
We will be as one
God bless our love
God bless our love
The best is yet to be
When our time has come
We will be as one
God bless our love
God bless our love
Grow old along with me
Two branches of one tree
Face the setting sun
When the day is done
God bless our love
God bless our love
Spending our lives together
Man and wife together
World without end
World without end
Man and wife together
World without end
World without end
Grow old along with me
Whatever fate decrees
We will see it through
For our love is true
God bless our love
God bless our love
Whatever fate decrees
We will see it through
For our love is true
God bless our love
God bless our love
Grow old along with me
Mary Chapin Carpenter - 1995
Will you love me in
December as you do in May,
Will you love me in the good old fashioned
way?
When my hair has all turned gray,
Will you kiss me then and say,
That you love me in December
as you do in May?

From Rabbi Ben Ezra
Robert Browning
Grow old along with me!
The best is yet to be, the last of life,
for which the first was made.
Our times are in his hand who saith,
'A
whole I planned, youth shows but half;
Trust God: See all, nor be
afraid!

| Grandparents - Susanne Marie Leclair |
I don't want
someone who promises me the world,
I want someone to sit on the porch
with me
and watch it go by as we grow old together.

| Cute Old Couple Drawing - Danijelg |
Tell Me you love me.
Tell me I'm beautiful.
Tell me we'll grow old together..
In sickness, and in health.
Tell me that I'm still the one.
That you need me.
That I'm your superhero.
Tell me you'll never let me go.
Tell me you miss me.
...
That's all I need.

who died together.
It's Grandma and Grandpa
who grew old together.

| Old Couple - Norman Long
The love we have in our youth
is superficial compared
to the
love that an old man has
for his old wife.
Will Durant
