Old Mr. Johnson and his wife attend my church Fifty-two years and they still love like it's the first He holds the door, she holds his hand, they kiss a little He helps her in the truck, she slides right to the middle And so one day I ask him how they keep the fire alive He said, 'You see two old people, but somethin' down deep inside' Love is always sixteen It's always the same Though people might change It's forever young Love don't have to turn cold Though lovers grow old Love don't have to grow weak ‘Cause love is always sixteen Baby, don't you find it just a little bit peculiar However close we get, we're never too familiar Everyday I wake up lovin' you so much it hurts And, baby, every kiss we kiss still feels like it's the first And it turns me on to know this feeling's never gonna fade I'm still gonna want you even when we're old and grey Love is always sixteen It's always the same Though people might change It's forever young Love don't have to turn cold Though lovers grow old Love don't have to grow weak ‘Cause love is always sixteen Through all of its phases It's timeless and ageless You’re like the sun in a clear morning sky Love is always sixteen It's always the same Though people might change It's forever young Love don't have to turn cold Though lovers grow old Love don't have to grow weak ‘Cause love ‘Cause love is always sixteen Is always sixteen
