Steel hair and a wheelchair, I'm living day by day
My mind is getting slower and my body's in decay
But frannie, you're still beautiful, just like the day we met
I still know that you're coming when I see your silhouette

My legs can't hold my body and my arms are both so weak
The kids brush me away like I'm a dusty old antique
But frannie, you still look at me like I am 25
You're still my blushing bride and that's what's keeping me alive

I ain't getting any younger
And frannie, you're older too
But I ain't lost my hunger
I am still the one who waits for you, and
I'll be here from this day on
Until they stick me in the lawn
Yeah, I'll be here

There's no time to waste now trying to tell the world goodbye
Yesterday's so far away and tomorrow's all a lie
So frannie, take my hand and let's go live another day
It might not be our last, but it's a step along the way

I ain't getting any younger
And frannie, you're older too
But I ain't lost my hunger
I am still the one who waits for you, and
I'll be here from this day on
Until they stick us in the lawn
Yeah, I'll be here
