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 mommas smiled and rolled their eyes'

And said, 'Oh, my, my, my'

Take me back to the house in the backyard tree

Said you would 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

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

They never believed we'd really fall in love

And our mommas 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

Slamming our 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

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, oh, my, my, my
