My Other Half

You

You are my sunshine
I am loved
All I ever need is you
You give me life

I used to see an old person and think how sad it is to grow old
Imagining myself unable to play the way that I do now
So many things I would miss, so many things I couldn't do
Never do the things that I've cherished from my youth
I viewed myself old and with my no more kids around.
Never thinking of the wife that I'd have by my side.
The views different now
I was driving home and saw an old man broke down on the road
He sat there watching the truck as it hauled up his motor home
All I could think of was myself in his shoes. 
Then I remembered I would not be alone
Id have the love of my life by my side holding her hand
Things are different now, I dont see that same old man
I see an old couple now standing hand in hand.
