Written today, as I did aqua class at the gym. Eight syllables, easy to found four on each hand, or four twice on your left hand.
The first line I think comes from another song. Maybe several. I can change it.
I Love You Just The Way You Are
song by Angela Lansbury
I must tell you
How I love you
I love you now
The way you are
We're both older
We're both wiser
Treasured just like
Our vintage car
We're not plastic
But solid wood
Rely on us
To do what's good
Younger models
Are great for play
We're still here when
They've gone away
You are the one
Who I cherish
You just need some
Paint and polish
When others hoot
And hurtle past
We drive on slow
We're built to last
You took me to
Many places
We have seen a
Thousand faces
I won't sell you
Or leave my home
Drive together
Never alone
I love you like
Our vintage car
I love you dear
The way you are.
