D G
He'd just turned forty-seven when she was only twenty-two
A D
She'd turned his life to heaven from the hell that he'd been through
D G
All her friends said she was crazy she must have lost her mind
A D
She said age makes no difference and it didn't at the time
[Verse 2]
D G
Through the years she was his comfort, oh but anyone could see
A D
That he was growing older and she was growing free
D G
She came in late one morning he said hold me one last time
A D
You don't need to say it's over, I've known it all the time
[Chorus]
D G
I knew this day would come oh but we sure gave love a whirl
D A
Now the age that made no difference makes all the difference in the world
D G
But I can't hold back the seasons, I curse the rising sun
D D
I already know your reasons, for I knew this day would come
[Step Up]
B
[Verse 3]
E A
She said I found a young man he's only half my age
B E
He says age makes no difference, it's the heart that sets the stage
E A
The old man listened quietly then he said "You know, someday,"
B E
"He'll come in late one morning and it'll be your time to say:"
[Outro]
E B
"I knew this day would come,
E
"I knew this day would come"
