When your legs don't work like they used to before
And I can't sweep you off of your feet
Will your mouth still remember the taste of my love
Will your eyes still smile from your cheeks

A lot has changed. We have changed. We... Louis and I. I wonder if it will be like this forever. Although our touches aren't as rare and secret as they used to be, and I can't blow him away with them during interviews like I used to. Will his mouth still remember the taste of my love? And will he still be smiling from ear to ear when I put my arms around his stomach from behind and rest my chin on his shoulder?


And darling I will be loving you 'til we're 70
And baby my heart could still fall as hard at 23
And I'm thinking 'bout how people fall in love in mysterious ways
Maybe just the touch of a hand
Oh me I fall in love with you every single day
And I just wanna tell you I am

Because I will still love him the same when we're old and I'm still as much in love with him as I was when I was 16. I often think about how it happened, how we fell in love.... just like that. Maybe it was just from all the touching of our hands. And every single day I fall in love with him even more, just like right now.The sky above us is dark blue and cloudless, which is why the many, small, thousands of stars are easy to see. The soft, green summer field below us is damp, but that doesn't bother us because we are lying on a picnic blanket and looking up at the sky.And then I continue to think.

When my hair's all but gone and my memory fades
And the crowds don't remember my name
When my hands don't play the strings the same way, mm
I know you will still love me the same

When I'm old and my hair is slowly fading and my memory is fading and the crowds don't know my name anymore and my fingers don't play the strings the same way they do now, I know he'll still love me just the same. I'm suddenly sure of that, how could I ever doubt it?

'Cause honey your soul can never grow old, it's evergreen
Baby your smile's forever in my mind and memoryI'm thinking 'bout how people fall in love in mysterious ways
Maybe it's all part of a plan
I'll just keep on making the same mistakes
Hoping that you'll understand

Because his soul will never change, it will always remain the same. And his smile is always in my thoughts, I will always remember it. And again I think about how we fell in love, maybe it was fate, God's plan.... Even though I am not perfect and will continue to make mistakes, I hope he understands them and will continue to love me the same.

So baby now
Take me into your loving arms
Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
Oh darling, place your head on my beating heart
I'm thinking out loud
That maybe we found love right where we are

Louis hugs me, he takes me into his loving arms. Then he kisses me, under the light of the moon and the thousands of stars. He snuggles up to me and lays his head on my chest, right where my heart beats. It beats softly and slowly, it beats for him. And then I'm not just thinking quietly anymore, I'm thinking out loud:"Maybe we have found love right where we are now...""What do you mean, H?" he replies to that, a little confused."Maybe what we've been looking for all our lives is right now. Even though we've changed and always will, we'll always love each other and that's what matters... maybe we have found love because we have found each other. Because we found love with each other."


Oh baby, we found love right where we are
And we found love right where we are

"Yes... Yes, you are right, we have found love right where we are now".Louis nods in agreement, thoughtfully. Then he lifts his head to kiss me again.
