What should I compare you to, that sun on winter's day?
A E B B7
Tulips standing proud and bright when all around is grey
E B E
What should I compare you to, a comet or a star?
A E B E
A little flicker where you've been or a lighthouse where you are?
A E B E
Well I'm a certain person who sees a sense of life
A E B E
That hides behind the glory days and only shines at night

The rock that holds the whole thing down or the hand that points you home?

That hides behind the glory days and only shines at night

So listen up you middle aged or slightly older men
A E B E
If they look old to you my friend, you sure look old to them

Take this from the rooster who found his speckled hen
A E B E
It's never down to who you love; it's purely down to when
