One Day Like This Lyrics

Agree with all the stuff above, just been looking at the comments against 'Starlings' an equally enthralling track. There is a similarity in the reference to remaining in love when growing old;

'Yeah, kiss me when my lips are thin'

As I approach 50 I can identify with that... Pure poetry in song

Our lips go thin when we smile. He's saying he's smiling all the time, even when he should be kissing.
