In Our Old Age

Kenny Rogers' song reflects on enduring love in marriage, inspired by an elderly couple holding hands on a porch swing. The lyrics express hope that love grows stronger with age, even as bodies weaken and children leave home. It celebrates lifelong commitment and the belief that the best years are ahead. While not explicitly Christian, the themes of faithful love and lasting devotion align with biblical principles of covenant marriage.

Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

Comin' home from work today I saw our future

And old man and his wife were holdin' hands

They were sittin' on a front porch swing like two young lovers

I waved to them as I went by then I realized

That life does not grow dimmer with the settin' of the sun

The best years of our lives still are yet to come.


In our old age love will just get better

The longer we're together, we'll grow stronger everyday

Our bodies may get weaker and our hair will turn gray

But love will never fade in our age (love will never fade).


One day the kids will all be grown and they'll be leavin'

And it will be like it was years ago

We'll be sittin' on the front porch swing like two young lovers

'Cause today I just saw what our future holds...
