I Wanna Grow Old with You
Westlife Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Another day without your smile
Another day just passes by
But now i know how much it means
For you to stay right here with me
The time we spent apart will make our love grow stronger
But it hurts so bad i can't take it any longer

I want to grow old with you
I want to die lying in your arms
I want to grow old with you
I want to be looking in your eyes
I want to be there for you, sharing everything you do
I want to grow old with you

A thousand miles between us now
It causes me to wonder how
Our love tonight remains so strong
It makes our risk right all along
The time we spent apart will make our love grow stronger
But it hurt so bad i can't take it any longer

I want to grow old with you
I want to die lying in your arms
I want to grow old with you
I want to be looking in your eyes
I want to be there for you, sharing everything you do
I want to grow old with you

Things can come and go
I know but
Baby I believe
Something's burning strong between us
Makes it clear to me

I want to grow old with you
I want to die lying in your arms
I want to grow old with you
I want to be looking in your eyes




I want to be there for you, sharing everything you do
I want to grow old with you
