[lyrics]
Edward the evening’s wearing thin and I know you’re probably already asleep
It seems our blood is growing cold and the days are feeling longer than our weeks.
Outside the ground is freezing up. And December’s coming on us much too fast.
And as the year is dying off I hope this winter will not end up as our last.
And I know it’s just the pain of growing old
It reaches deep to the corners of our souls.
But looking back on the fifty years we had
I couldn’t say that a single one was bad.

Chorus:
I’m on my knees in the night praying to the Lord above
Oh that he would bless our lives, oh that he would bless our love.

Edward I know our youth is gone. It’s now safely locked behind our photographs.
And though our lives are harder now, you still find the perfect way to make me laugh.
Edward I am a little scared cause I know that one day one of us will die.
And I’m sure I shouldn’t think this way I can’t imagine you not right here by my side.
But our eyes they are younger than they seem
When I see you, feels like we’re still twenty-three.
And looking back, way back when I learned your name
From that day on, oh I’d do it all the same.

Chorus:
I’m on my knees in the night praying to the Lord above
Oh that he would bless our lives, oh that he would bless our love.
I’m on my knees in the night, don’t know which way we should go.
I pray the Lord will use us still or that he will call us home.

Edward the evening’s wearing thin and I know you’re probably already asleep
These words I’ll whisper in your ear. I’m in love with you. I’m in love with you
