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 love my mine
