about

'Get old with me, not immediately, 'Cos there's so many mountains to climb'

Getting old is nothing to be feared of if you have a partner who can ignore your wrinkles just as much as you can ignore theirs, and who can keep 'climbing those mountains' with you!

Barrow artist and musician John Hall wrote this gorgeous song for Mike and Jeannie's wedding in 2002, where he was the best man. (John always has a song on a Striding Edge album, and probalby always will!)

Ben, Carolyn and Rick also arranged Trumpet Minuet and Charming Phylis (two more Winder Family tunes) on brass instruments to play at the same wedding! After his wedding, Mike had to get up to speed and learn them, too..

Striding Edge can be heard singing this piece at weddings around The North. When Johnny gets wed, Edge'll sing it at his!

lyrics

Get Old With Me
 
Get old with me
And I'll try not to be
All I would be if I wasn't with you
But I'll soon put things right if I do
 
Get old with me
Not immediately
'Cos there's so many mountains to climb
We can only climb one at a time
 
Sometimes we argue, dig over old ground
But you give me that look that says 'don't make a sound'
And I'll pick and unravel all the words that you say
But I don't like the quiet when you go away
 
Get old with me
And I won't let you see
If your face carries creases and lines
Though you'll probably see some in mine
No, you won't even notice the time
Passing by if you share yours with mine
You won't even notice that
You're growing older with me!
 
A Striding Edge song written by John K Hall p + c 2007
