I Knew This Day Would Come - Porter Wagoner

He’d just turned forty-seven when she was only twenty-two

She’d turned his life to heaven from the hell that he’d been through

All her friends said she was crazy she must have lost her mind

She said age makes no difference and it didn’t at the time

Through the years she was his comfort oh but anyone could see

That he was growing older and she was growing free

She came in late one morning he said hold me one last time

You don’t need to say it’s over i’ve known it all the time

I knew this day would come oh but we sure gave love a whirl

Now the age that made no difference makes all the difference in the world

But i can’t hold back the seasons i curse the rising sun

I already know your reasons for i knew this day would come

She said i found a young man he’s only half my age

He says age makes no difference it’s the heart that sets the stage

The old man listened quietly then he said

You know someday he’ll come in late one morning and it’ll be your time

To say i knew this day would come i knew this day would come
