Grow Old With You....

I've known this song for a while, obviously from Adam Sandler's movie (The Wedding Singer). The song is not bad, but it's not my type of song.
I have always loved jazz, i cant play any jazz instrument or even sing a jazz song, but i grew up with jazz music all around me.

Before the wedding, i asked Indra whether we want to give a special presentation to the guest, i wasn't sure myself what it was. Indra said that he's going to sing a song for me. The night before the wedding, i asked him again whether he's going to sing tomorrow, he said no because he didn't have time to prepare it. So i said ok, but deep down i really wish he sing, it would be romantic and sweet.

During the reception, the maid of honour, indra's brother and the bestman did their speeches. I've asked Indra to prepare it the day before, the plan was to stand there together but im not gonna do the talk. And it was our turn. Indra held my hand, and we stood at the podium, in front of our guests, thanking them for making the day special. At the end of his speech, he said he has something for me and he asked Wayne our best friend to come up and bring his guitar.

He did prepare the song for me and i didn't know anything about it.
And he started to sing:

I wanna make you smile whenever youre sad
Carry you around when your arthritis is bad
All I wanna do is grow old with you

Ill get your medicine when your tummy aches
Build you a fire if the furnace breaks
Oh it could be so nice, growing old with you

Ill miss you
Ill kiss you
Give you my coat when you are cold

Ill need you
Ill feed you
Even let ya hold the remote control

So let me do the dishes in our kitchen sink
Put you to bed if youve had too much to drink
I could be the man who grows old with you
I wanna grow old with you

When he finished the song, all i remember was everyone clapping their hands and Indra kissed and hugged me, he whispered 'I wanna grow old with you'.

Now this song has a special place in my heart, this is Indra's promises to me apart from our vows. The lyric is very simple, not poetic but realistic. This is what i want from our marriage, a simple and deep love between us, love doesnt always have to be extravagant, expensive, or out of this world. Love is love, accepting and loving ur partner for who they are, be a constant and faithfull companion for each other, and growing old together.
