An 84 Year Old Man Wrote This About His Wife lyrics

[Verse 1]
This is a story about my wife, my sweet wife, her name is Grace
I met her in 1953, she had freckles on her face
A poodle skirt, it was navy blue, saddle shoes, they were black and white
I said, "My name is A.J., I’d like to take you out tonight"
She said, "You’re very handsome, sir; with your outfit, I’m impressed
But a lady ain't a lady if she so easily says yes
I may change my mind one day and let you take me on a date"
I said, "Your beauty is so boundless, you’re so perfect, I would wait
Until the very last day of my life, I swear it’s true
I’d die happy knowing I spent at least one day with you"
Did she finally agree to see me? Why, yes, she did
We were married a year later, we had 2 great kids
We were married a year later, we were unified as one
We had a daughter named Nicole; we had Anthony, he’s our son
We bought a tiny house with a yard, it had a dog, his name was Moon
I used to watch Grace garden every Sunday afternoon
I used to watch the sun dance off of her golden skin
Her curly locks of hers bounced in the calm wind
She used to hold my hands as our fingers intertwined
She’d say, "All I really want to do is kiss you one more time"

[Hook]
All I really want to do is kiss you one more time
All I really want to do is kiss you one more time
She’d say, "All I really want to do is kiss you one more time"
Then I'd lock my lips with hers and we would go somewhere divine
[Verse 2]
We were married 10 years, we were married 20 years
We were married 30 years; every day, our love grew more
We were married 40 years, we were married 50 years
We were married 60 years, then we were married 64
I use to hold her as we danced inside our kitchen
My life felt complete, not a single piece was missing
I fell in love so many times throughout my life
But every single time was with the same woman, and she’s my wife
Growing old with someone hurts, it's a process full of pain
Sometimes the sunny days are full of black clouds and rain
You need to have kids and grandkids, it’s the truth
So as you approach your final days, you can still enjoy your youth

[Verse 3]
My sweet wife, her name was Grace, she started walking with a cane
In her smile, I could see love, but in her eyes, I could see pain
I can’t forget the day she told me she could really see the end
I told her underneath it all, she’s always been my greatest friend
Every single night before we’d go to sleep and close our eyes
She’d look at me, she wouldn’t say "Good night," she’d say "Goodbye"
I remember the last night she went to sleep and closed her eyes
We held each other one final time and said "Goodbye"
And then she died
I locked my lips with hers and we went somewhere divine
All your friends and family were at the funeral in tears
Even Anthony came, you hadn’t spoken to him in years
My sweet wife, her name was Grace, how I miss you oh so much
I still possess your memories, but I sure miss your touch
I still possess your memories, but I sure miss your touch
I know your soul was not inside the ashes or the dust
[Hook]
All I want to do is kiss you one more time
All I really want to do is kiss you one more time
All I really want to do is kiss you one more time
I can’t wait to see you in heaven, baby, it’ll be so divine
Love, A.J
