You hold your keys
in a quiet kitchen space
Three coats hanging by the door
I see the laughter lines upon your face
And everything I want and more
You worry 'bout the years between our lives
The house, the kids,
the world outside
But when our eyes lock in the evening light
There is nowhere else to hide
Forty-four and beautiful, you steal my breath away
Forget about the boundaries we draw
(don't look back) Let me love you in the quiet of the
day
Your three kids playing on the floor
I help them with
their homework on the rug
You watch us from the hallway light
No simple label fits this kind of love
But it keeps us warm
at night We walk a path that isn't mapped Between the duty
and the truth But in your arms my heart is trapped Your
wisdom mixing with my youth
Forty-four, my only home (ooh-ooh)
No more hiding anymore
