I walked out into the courtyard. I sat down and began to think about how many weeks had gone by and how everything had changed for me. I began to hum a melody that soon came out into a song.
She said I was seven and you were nine
I looked at you like the stars that shine 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 momma smiled and rolled their eyes.
And said..Oh my, my, my..
Take me back to the house in the backyard trees.
You said you would beat me up, you were bigger then me.
You never did, You never did.
Take me back when our world was one big lie.
And I dared you to kiss me and ran when you tried.
Just two kids. You and I.
Oh 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 daddies used to joke about the two of us.
Never believe we would fall in love.
And our momma smiled and rolled their eyes.
And said..Oh my, my, my..
Take me back to the creek thats reaching dark.
Two A.M, riding in your truck.
Yet all I need, is here next to me.
Take me back to the time we had our very first fight.
Slamming our doors instead of kissing goodnight.
You stayed outside 'til the morning light.
Oh my, my, my, my
A few years ago when comin' around.
We were sitting at our favorite spot in town.
Then 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 mommas cried.
You said I do and I did too.
Take me home when we met so many years before.
Where we rock our babies on the very front porch.
After all this time, you and I.
When I'll be 87 you'll be 89.
I'll still look at you like the stars that shine in the sky.
I ended the song and smiled. 'How I wish those words were true for me,' I thought.
