Start Now Lyrics

(Marc J. Kuchner)

I sat down with my Grandma
On a lawn chair by the lake
She told me some stories
About the good old days
And I said, Grandma, I know my life has just begun
But Grandma, I think I'm missing all the fun
Promise me I'll get to do
Just half the things you've done

I want to see Montana, knit a sweater
Build a family, keep it together
Learn a million songs and sing them loud
I want to love one man for 60 years
Play gin rummy with my grandkids
I want to do it all, Grandma, tell me how
And she gave me the secret: start now

You sat down on my blanket
At a picnic last July
And since then I've spent almost every
Minute by your side
So, darling, you say you want to take it slow
But darling, I think you're written in my soul
There's so much we could have together
I'm ready, baby, let's go

I want to see Montana, knit a sweater
Build a family, keep it together
Learn a million songs and sing them loud
I want to love one man for 60 years
Play gin rummy with my grandkids
I want to do it all; my Grandma showed me how
She gave me the secret: start now

Baby I think you're the one that I've been waiting for
And now you're here; let's not wait anymore

I want to see Montana, knit a sweater
Build a family, keep it together
Learn a million songs and sing them loud
I want to love one man for 60 years
Play gin rummy with my grandkids
I want to do it all; my Grandma showed me how
And baby, here's the secret: start now
Start now
