Prince - Better With Time Lyrics

This might seem strange
Since so much time has passed
And since only one of us still looks the same

Your words not mine, baby
You're still fine, yes, you are
Like wine you get better with time

So young and so naive
That I never once believed
That the memory of you would go through me
Like wind goes through the trees

Either you believe, baby
That I would not deceive you
You and I, side by side
Or somewhere in between

I don't know, I don't know if this is a bore
But I just can no longer ignore
This fact so sublime
You get better with time

Anyone who's met you agrees
That no one forgets you, most of all not me
You can claim you're humble and hide
But when it's true, my dear, it's not pride
No, no, no, no

A journey of my peers would find me
Guilty of so many crimes
Chose not to remind you
That you get better with time

Oh, this might seem absurd
To someone so cultured
And to one who would grace any stage
Listen to me now

When the hair that frames that face
Dark brown or silvery lace
What is age but a cage, never mind
You'll be blind to not know that
You get better with time
