never a borrower or lender you see
but, and this is a big one please
I want more time for you and me
I need to spend the rest of my days
being with you in every way
I don't care if debts aren't paid
I'm determined--can't be swayed
here in the autumn of my years
I've put to bed those nagging fears
happiness without the tears
envied by each and every peer
stay with me, and I avow
to live in the here and in the now
and each night, when my head I bow
thanks for every second allowed
