Tom Denham - Older Man in His Prime Lyrics

Won't you lie down here beside me, on a warm on a starry night?
With your supple body clinging, to your dress in the moonlight
And you kiss me oh so passionate, my blood runs double-time
Don't you ever stop making love, to an older man in his prime

Once I was a boy, I did not know what girls could do
But I think that I learned quickly, that every boy would have to choose
And once I was in High School, watching girls giggle in the gym
I was taken by their beauty, but I only knew part of it then

Cause Oh, some things take time
Like work in a garden or a damn good bottle of wine
And Oh, it ain't any crime
To make love to an older man in his prime

Once I was a sailor, And I sailed across the sea
And I danced with a few ladies, And I held them tenderly
Somehow I couldn't find it, yes it eluded me still
Women were fascinating, but I was still working at the skill

Well now I've almost got it, after working years at the thrill
It takes two to be together, and it takes two to be for real
A man can't rush it, he must wait, like grapes ripening upon the vine
One day a woman will tell him, he's an older man in his prime

Cause Oh, some things take time
Like work in a garden or a damn good bottle of wine
And Oh, it ain't any crime
To make love to an older man in his prime
