Lyrics

“that was gonna be us”
 Jimmy Yessian / Brian White © All Rights Reserved 2013

 she holds the screen door open he slowly shuffles her way
 he slides open the umbrella to shelter her from the rain

 as they walk she tucks his scarf into his old winter coat
 i watch from my window a smile and a lump in my throat

 (chorus)
 that was gonna be us when we grew old and grey
 that was gonna be me chasing the clouds away
 that was gonna be you the source of my strength 
 still so much in love that was gonna be us

 we’d have a little garden growin’ green beans tomatoes, not much
 get on our knees and pull them weeds and have to help each other up
 i pictured us in a porch swing as the fire flies dance in the yard
 we'd reminisce about our first kiss wrapped in each others arms 
 
(chorus) that was gonna be us when we grew old and grey
 that was gonna be me chasing the clouds away
 that was gonna be you the source of my strength 
 (my soul & my strength) 
 still so much in love 
that was gonna be us

 (bridge)
 never thought I’d find myself alone
 never dreamed I’d have to sell our home 

 Chorus - out
