Thinking out Loud by Ed Sheeran

This song has a certain soothing effect on me. Notice how he doesn't say I'll love you forever. He says 'til we're 70'. The song is not pretentious about time. No one really knows what forever really means, but the way the author feels will last a long time and he predicts that he will feel that way until he's at least as old as 70 years.

 

• When your looks don't work like they used to before

  And I can't sweep you off of your feet

  Will your mouth still remember the taste of my love

  Will your eyes still smile from your cheeks 
• And darling I will be loving you 'til we're 70

  And baby my heart could still fall as hard at 23

  And I'm thinking 'bout how people fall in love in mysterious ways

  Maybe just the touch of a hand

  Oh me I fall in love with you every single day

  And I just wanna tell you I am
• So honey now

  Take me into your loving arms

  Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars

  Place your head on my beating heart

  I'm thinking out loud

  Maybe we found love right where we are
• When my hair's all but gone and my memory fades

  And the crowds don't remember my name

  When my hands don't play the strings the same way, mm

  I know you will still love me the same
• 'Cause honey your soul can never grow old, it's evergreen

  Baby your smile's forever in my mind and memory
• I'm thinking 'bout how people fall in love in mysterious ways

  Maybe it's all part of a plan

  I'll just keep on making the same mistakes

  Hoping that you'll understand
• But baby now

  Take me into your loving arms

  Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars

  Place your head on my beating heart

  I'm thinking out loud

  That maybe we found love right where we are, oh
• (Ah la la, la la la, la la la, la la la la)
• So baby now

  Take me into your loving arms

  Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars

  Oh darling, place your head on my beating heart

  I'm thinking out loud

  That maybe we found love right where we are
• Oh maybe we found love right where we are

  And we found love right where we are

 

• When your looks don't work like they used to before

  And I can't sweep you off of your feet

  Will your mouth still remember the taste of my love

  Will your eyes still smile from your cheeks
