Sweet Good Nature

I love your fast car
And the way you drive slow
In the center lane with the windows rolled down
Traffic going 'round you like a river 'round a stone
And you're smiling
And this day is yours forever
I press my hand against your forehead
Like a benediction, like checking for fever, I say

Never grow old
Never grow angry
Never lose your sweet, good nature

You put on some weight
And then you took it off
Cut your hair short, then grew it out long
That's how I know that time went by
And you left me
And thеn you took me back
I believе in my heart I might not ever know why

Never grow old
Never grow angry
Never lose your sweet, good nature

It's a miracle
When the sun comes up again
And you're sitting in the kitchen with the morning paper
A cup of good coffee and a bowl of sweet cherries
And I love you
Just to feel you here beside me
Is a mystery and it's powerful and holy
And perfectly ordinary

Never grow old
Never grow angry
Never lose your sweet, good nature

Never grow old
Never grow angry
Never lose your sweet...
