I met her by the river
In crowd I heard her whisper
I knew her friend that she had with her
It wasn't luck, and I know that know
I don't believe in that anyhow
Somethings are hard to see
Somethings are lightning through the clouds
Went outside to sneak a kiss,
To show her stars that don't exist
Tried to hold her hand in Mexico
It never left her pocket
Though she was well aware
Round her neck she wore a locket
I asked how I could get in there
Gentle as the softest melody
That moved me like a siren's song
She's strong
Red wine makes her happy
My whine makes her mad
White dress on the pavement
Best day I ever had, best day I ever had
We danced to Stevie wonder
Friends and brothers
Sisters, moms and dads
I come home she's in the kitchen
A record's on she's listening to some
Young nashville hipster I ain't heard of before
With the same ol brown fedora
Still meets me at the door
Just like a thousand times before
I only feel like me when I'm in your company
Wishing that each day prolonged
Gentle as the softest melody, still strong
Flowers on the table, when we fight
Just cause we're able
Then I hold her like the movies
Like Clark gable would have done
Through the night to the next day sun
I only feel like me
When you're right there next to me
Wishing that each day prolonged
Gentle as the strongest melody
Still you're strong
Lay me down and love me
Turn all the lights down low
It's you and me, my lovely
We're never growing up just growing old
Lay me down and love me
Turn all the lights down low
It's you and me, my lovely
We're never growing up just growing old
