"Grow A Day Older"

Sedari bangun tidur pagi ini, nggak tahu kenapa lagu Grow A Day Older-nya Dewi Lestari (Dee) terngiang-ngiang di kepala. Padahal nggak ada yang muter lagu itu di rumah. Para tetangga juga nggak.

Selama ini juga cuma selewat aja ngedengerinnya. Nggak pernah bener-bener merhatiin liriknya. Baru bener-bener ngedengerin lagunya juga setelah @adDEEction, akun twitter yang ngebahas behind the scene karya-karya Dee, mulai ngetwit tentang satu per-satu cerpen dan lagu dalam Rectoverso. Jadi jelas, cerpen dan lagu Grow A Day Older bukan favoritku, sampai hari ini. (Terutama lagunya sih, karna cerpennya juga aku udah lupa gimana ceritanya =p)

Karna nggak hapal lirik dan keseluruhan lagunya, jadilah sedari pagi sampai sekarang lagu itu jadi satu-satunya yang aku puter di Winamp, hehehe... Dan aku langsung buka lagi @adDEEction di bagian yang ngebahas tentang behind the scene Grow A Day Older.

Daaan ternyata, lagu itu adalah kado ulang tahun buat Reza Gunawan, suami Dee. Aw aw aw... how romantic *nyengir*

Tapi, emang liriknya lah yang bikin aku jadi suka ma lagu itu <3

Here is the lyric:

See the sunrise
Know it's time for us to pack up all the past
And find what truly lasts
If everything has been written down, so why worry, we say
It's you and me with a little left of sanity
If life is ever changing, so why worry, we say
It's still you and I with silly smile as we wave goodbye
And how will it be? Sometimes we just can't see
A neighbor, a lover, a joker
Or a friend you can count on forever?
How tragic, how happy, how sorry?
For all we know we've come this far not knowing one

So, would it be nice to sit back in silence?
Despite all the wisdom and the fantasies
Having you close to my heart as I say a little grace
I'm thankful for this moment cause
I know that you

Grow a day older and see how this sentimental fool can be
When she tires to write a birthday song
When she thinks so hard to make your day
When she's getting lost in all her thoughts
When she waits a whole day to say

I'm thankful for this moment cause I know that I
Grow a day older and see how this sentimental fool can be
When he ache his arms to hold me tight
When he picks up lines to make me laugh
Whan he's getting lost in all his calls
When we can't wait to say: I love you

If everything has been written down, so why worry, we say
It's you and me with a little left of sanity

Kyaaa, sukaaa \(^^)/

Dan ternyata Reza Gunawan pernah upload video ketika Dee membacakan cerpen dan menyanyikan sebagian Grow A Day Older dalam sebuah acara di sini. Enjoy! =)
