| She said, «I was seven & you were nine»
|
| I looked at you like the stars that shine
|
| In the sky, the pretty lights
|
| And our daddy’s used to joke about the two of us
|
| Growing up & falling in love
|
| And our mama’s smiled & rolled their eyes
|
| And said, «Oh my, my, my»
|
| Took me back to the house & the backyard trees
|
| Said you’d beat me up you were bigger than me
|
| You never did
|
| Took me back when the world was one block wide
|
| I dared you to kiss me & ran when you tried
|
| Just two kids, you & I
|
| Oh my, my, my, my
|
| Well, I was sixteen when suddenly
|
| I wasn’t that little girl you used to see
|
| But your eyes still shined like pretty lights
|
| And our daddy’s used to joke about the two of us
|
| They never believed we’d really fall in love
|
| And our mama’s smiled & rolled their eyes
|
| And said, «Oh my, my, my»
|
| Took me back to the creek beds we turned up
|
| Two A.M. |
| running in your truck & all I need is you next to me
|
| Took me back to the time we had our very first fight
|
| Slamming up doors 'stead of kissing goodnight
|
| You stayed outside 'til the morning light
|
| Oh my, my, my, my
|
| A few years have gone & come around
|
| We were sitting at our favorite spot in town
|
| And you looked at me, got down on one knee
|
| Took me back to the time when we walked down the aisle
|
| Our whole town came & our mama’s cried
|
| You said, «I do» & I did too
|
| Take me home where we met so many years before
|
| We’ll rock our babies on the very front porch
|
| After all this time, you & I
|
| And I’ll be eighty seven, you’ll be eighty nine
|
| I’ll still look at you like the stars that shine in the sky
|
| Oh my, my, my |
