She turned his life to heaven,
from the hell that he'd been through
All her friends said she was crazy,
she must have lost her mind
She said age makes no difference,
and it didn't at the time
Through the years she was his comfort
That he was growing older
She came in late one morning
He said, hold me one last time
You don't need to say it's over
I've known it all the time
I knew this day would come
Ah, but it sure gave love a whirl
Now the angels made no difference
Makes all the difference in the world
I can't hold back the seasons
I already know your reasons
For I knew this day would come
She said I found a young man,
He says age makes no difference,
it's the heart that sets the stage.
The old man listened quietly,
then he said, you know, someday,
he'll come in late one morning,
and it'll be your time to say,
I knew this day would come,
I knew this day would come.
