I walk a little slower now,
No reason not to take our time
The stones are cool beneath our feet,
The weather clear and kind
This garden doesn’t try to shine,
It doesn’t need applause
It’s been here long before us both,
It’ll be here when we’re gone

You take my hand without a word,
and keep me on my feet
Every step an act of love
Though it is discreet
Cherry blossoms fall like they always have,
They don’t ask where or why
They teach me something every year
About letting things go by

I’m not looking for forever,
I don’t need a sign
I’m just grateful for this moment
And your hand in mine
If the world keeps moving faster,
That’s something I won’t do
I’m walking through this quiet place
And I’m walking it with you

The water moves the way it does,
It never tries to rush
The koi don’t seem to worry much
About the noise above
We’ve said most of what needs saying,
We don’t fill every space
Some things are better left alone,
Some things don’t need explaining

I’m not asking for forever
Or wishing for the past
I’m thankful for the years we’ve had
And hope to see them last
My steps grow short and careful,
And the road gets hard to do
I’m walking through this quiet place
And I’m walking it with you

We’ve buried friends and family,
We’ve watched the seasons turn
We’ve made our share of small mistakes
And lived long enough to learn
Love isn’t fire, it isn’t sound,
It doesn’t make a scene
It’s showing up and staying close
And all that goes unseen

I don’t need the world to change,
I don’t need it to be new
There’s peace enough for me right here
Just standing next to you
When evening comes and sunsets glow
And everything feels true
I’m walking through this quiet place
And I’m walking it with you

The garden closes soft and slow,
The light begins to bend
I’m not afraid of what comes next,
I’m luckier than most.
If this is all the time we get,
Then I’ll say this is true—
It’s been a good long walk, my love,
And I’m glad it is with you
