Caroline Spence Mint Condition Lyrics

[Verse 1: Caroline Spence]
My favorite things are tired and worn
A dog-eared book with the cover torn
But when I see you it's like the very first day
There are some things you don't want to fade

[Chorus: Caroline Spence]
Still in mint condition, mint condition
Like when we were two kids just hopin' and wishin'
This life that we see ain't no apparition
So we keep our love in mint condition

[Verse 2: Caroline Spence]
You can hide love away in a trunk or a box
You can throw out the keys once you lock all the locks
But some things, they last, and some things, they won't
Oh, but nothing 'bout you ever gets old

[Chorus: Caroline Spence and Emmylou Harris]
Still in mint condition, mint condition
Like when we were two kids just hopin' and wishin'
This life that we see ain't no apparition
So we keep our love in mint condition

[Verse 3: Caroline Spence and Emmylou Harris]
Our bodies, they age, wrinkle, and tire
That feeling of comfort overtakes desire
I might have to learn to live here alone
But I'll love you through ash or through stone

[Chorus: Caroline Spence and Emmylou Harris]
Still in mint condition, mint condition
Like when we were two kids just hopin' and wishin'
This life that we see ain't no apparition
So we keep our love in mint condition

[Outro: Caroline Spence and Emmylou Harris]
'Cause we're still just two kids hopin' and wishin'
We keep our love in mint condition
