When The New Wears Off

Church bells ring with a rose petal shower
Standing in our finest hour
Walk and talk with you beside me and me beside you
First new home and our first dog together
Settin' in for life's weather
Days go by, we begin to find that the new wears off
Years roll on and the paint on the house fades
Dogs get old, and children move away
With lines in our faces, gray in our hair
The new wears off

You were so beautiful back then
I could never imagine how beautiful you would be by now

When the new wears off of a house and a car
Nothing's gonna change the way I feel in my heart
And if time stood still for a million years
My love for you would only go that far
So, let the new wear off

I never knew a man who would wish away his life
But I think of all the times
That we've had, those still to come
The new wears off

You are so beautiful right now
I could never imagine how beautiful you would be someday

When the new wears off of a house and a car
Nothing's gonna change the way I feel in my heart
And if time stood still for a million years
My love for you would only go that far
So, let the new wear off
