Mary’s Song (Oh My My My)

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 mamas smiled and rolled their eyes.

And said..Oh my, my, my…

Take me back to the house in the backyard trees.
You said you’d beat me up, you were bigger then me.
You never did, You never did.

Take me back when our world was one block wide.
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 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.
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 have 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 mamas 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..
