The Test Of Time
Eatin' peaches from a mason jar
Spooning some summers best
From a year or three ago
Like us they stood the test
They’re just like when I picked ‘em
But nowhere sweet as you
From the day I met you girl
Your qualities run true
The test of time is something----------------------------- {Chorus
Takes a good while to pass
Most times love just fades away
Like green on summers grass
We have passed the test of time
That’s all I’ll ever ask
Turnaround 4 bars
Who would have believed it
Was 50 years today
That ring went on your finger
I put it there to stay
We’ve had our battle royals
But makin’ up was fun
Whatever else has happened
We’ve never come undone
The test of time is something----------------------------- {Chorus
Takes a good while to pass
Most times love just fades away
Like green on summers grass
We have passed the test of time
That’s all I’ll ever ask
Instrumental Break 16 bars
Thinkin' back on everything I'd do it all again-------------- {Bridge
Life with you's been magical my lover and my friend
The test of time is something----------------------------- {Chorus
Takes a good while to pass
Most times love just fades away
Like green on summers grass
We have passed the test of time
That’s all I’ll ever ask
Yes we have passed the test of time
That’s all I’ll ever ask
