~Chapter 18~

"You ready?" the studio engineer asked. I adjusted the headphones and gave him the thumbs up. We were in the recording studio and I was getting ready to record the song I wrote. Max had already pre-recorded the instrumental part for me so all I had to do was sing. Max was sitting in a chair next to the engineer. He mouthed the words 'Good luck!' to me. I mouthed back, 'Thanks!'. I was in the recording booth so I couldn't hear what he was saying unless he used a mic.

I heard the music start to play and I waited for the part where I come in. When I heard it, I closed my eye's and began to sing.

"She said, I was seven and you were nine.

I looked at you like the stars that shined

In the sky, the pretty lights-"

I opened my eyes and they found their way to meet Max's.

"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..."

I smiled as I fell into the chorus. I based this song off of the story of Max and I. When I talked to Trey about the idea he said to change some things, so it isn't exactly all our story.

"Take me back to the house and 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

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 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 till 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..."
