He met her at a nightclub. She couldn't keep the beat. |
|
She wore her grandma's prom dress, raccoon slippers on her feet. |
|
He took a shot of something strong to make him feel less weak, |
|
And so the story goes... |
|
There's something to be said about trading stories of when you were 8 years old: |
|
He had his first stitches when he bit an ice cream bowl. |
|
She had her first kiss in a swimming hole, |
|
And so the story goes... |
|
And the days grew long, and the wine was overflowing. |
|
And she knew she was in love, because nobody ever hugged her like that, |
|
hugged her like that, hugged her like that, hugged her like that. |
|
They moved into a school bus just because it seemed like fun. |
|
She'd say "I like the way you touch me, it makes me feel like I have no skeleton," |
|
And so the story goes... |
|
And I've seen photographs and video tapes |
|
of that diesel home that loving place |
|
And it's about time two minds entwined in such a fine, fine way. |
|
May your lives be long, |
|
May your wishes all be simple. |
|
And may your hearts stay strong. |
|
Tucked into bed, is she the ghost of your teddy bear. |
|
Check under the covers just to make sure he's still sleeping there. |
|
Turn wedding gowns to angel cloths for the baby to wear. |
|
Turn wedding gowns to angel cloths for the baby to wear. |
|
She's rides him like the State Fair. |
|
They make love like two solar flares |
|
caring like they really care |
|
that they're gonna make it. |
|
He wants to die in the place where she first said "I love you." |
|
Spread his ashes with the breath of the last kiss that she blew. |
|
They decorate when featherless; |
|
they celebrate through hungriness, |
|
and it's about time two minds entwined in such a fine, fine way. |
|
May your lives be long, |
|
May your wishes all be simple. |
|
And may your hearts stay strong. |
|
May your lives be long, |
|
May your wishes all be simple. |
|
And may your hearts stay strong. |
