Mary's Song (Oh My My My) Lyrics

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 didTake 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, myWell, I was sixteen when suddenly
I wasn't that little girl you used to see
But your eyes still shined like pretty lightsAnd 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 eyesAnd 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 meTake 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, myA 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 kneeTake 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 tooTake 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 IWhen 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
