"Thinking Out Loud"

1.Listen and fill in the gaps with a verb either in present or past simple.

When your legs don't work like they 1 to before

And I 2 sweep you off of your feet
3
your mouth still remember the taste of my love?
Will your eyes still smile from your cheeks?

And, darling, I will be loving you 'til we're 70

And, baby, my heart 4 still fall as hard at 23
And I'm thinking 'bout how people 5 in love in mysterious ways
Maybe just the touch of a hand
Well, meI fall in love with you every single day
And I just wanna tell you I am

So honey now
6
me into your loving arms
Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
Place your head on my beating heart
I'm thinking out loud
That maybe we 7 love right where we 8

2. Circle the correct word

When my hair's all but gone and my memory fades/fakes

And the crowds/crows don't remember my name
When my hands don't play the strings the same way
I know you will still love/laugh me the same

'Cause honey your soul could never go/grow old, it's evergreen
And, baby, your smile's ever/forever in my mind and memory
I'm thinking 'bout how people fell/fall in love in mysterious ways
Maybe it's all part of a plan
Well, I'll just keep on making the old/same mistakes
Hoping what/that you'll understand
