20 Years from Now Lyrics
Jan is tired of her inhaler
When she moved here from back east
Still she said she'd stay beside me
And she brought me a new peace
I saw her smilin' in the summer sun
I saw her 'neath the quiet moon
I knew right then I'd never leave her
She had taken me so soon
When she went
She went
And we settled near the blue lagoon
Listened all night to the wind
Sometimes we laughed, sometimes we cried
Sometimes we just went for a swim
All that time my love kept growing, growing, growing
Made me feel so warm inside
All the time her smile glowing
And it gave me so much pride
When she went, yeah when she went
Yeah, now we sit here in the evening
And listen to the crickets sing
And we'll be here twenty years from now
And we'll hear the crickets sing
And then she'll go, oh, oh, oh, oh
She'll go
When she moved here from back east
Still she said she'd stay beside me
And she brought me a new peace
I saw her 'neath the quiet moon
I knew right then I'd never leave her
She had taken me so soon
When she went
She went
Listened all night to the wind
Sometimes we laughed, sometimes we cried
Sometimes we just went for a swim
All that time my love kept growing, growing, growing
Made me feel so warm inside
All the time her smile glowing
And it gave me so much pride
When she went, yeah when she went
And listen to the crickets sing
And we'll be here twenty years from now
And we'll hear the crickets sing
And then she'll go, oh, oh, oh, oh
She'll go

This fantastic song always puzzles me. Your left with the thought of, Did she die? And he repeats "When she went" But, he says we'll be here for 20 years, and finally ending on the note of "She'll go" I really wish songmeaning.com would add the lyrics, so everyone would give me some input...lol
