 She said, I was seven and you were nine

 I looked at you like the stars that shined

In the sky, the pretty lights

 And our daddies used to joke about the two of us

Growing up and falling in love and our mamas smiled

 And rolled their eyes and said oh my my my

 Take me back to the house in the backyard tree

 Said you’d beat me up, you were bigger than me

 You never did, you never did

 Take me back when our world was one block wide

 I dared you to kiss me and ran when you tried

Just two kids, you and I

 Oh my my my my

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 daddies used to joke about the two of us

 They never believed we’d really fall in love

 And our mamas smiled and rolled their eyes

 And said oh my my my

 Take me back to the creek beds we turned up

Two A.M. riding in your truck and all I need is you next to me

 Take me back to the time we had our very first fight

 The slamming of doors instead of kissing goodnight

 You stayed outside til the morning light

 Oh my my my my

A few years had gone and come around

 We were sitting at our favorite spot in town

 And you looked at me, got down on one knee

 Take me back to the time when we walked down the aisle

 Our whole town came and our mamas cried

 You said I do and I did too

 Take me home where we met so many years before

 We’ll rock our babies on that very front porch

 After all this time, you and I

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
