Mary's Song (Oh My My My)

She said, «I was seven & you were nine»
I looked at you like the stars that shine
In the sky, the pretty lights
And our daddy’s used to joke about the two of us
Growing up & falling in love
And our mama’s smiled & rolled their eyes
And said, «Oh my, my, my»
Took me back to the house & the backyard trees
Said you’d beat me up you were bigger than me
You never did
Took me back when the world was one block wide
I dared you to kiss me & ran when you tried
Just two kids, you & 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 daddy’s used to joke about the two of us
They never believed we’d really fall in love
And our mama’s smiled & rolled their eyes
And said, «Oh my, my, my»
Took me back to the creek beds we turned up
Two A.M. running in your truck & all I need is you next to me
Took me back to the time we had our very first fight
Slamming up doors 'stead of kissing goodnight
You stayed outside 'til the morning light
Oh my, my, my, my
A few years have gone & come around
We were sitting at our favorite spot in town
And you looked at me, got down on one knee
Took me back to the time when we walked down the aisle
Our whole town came & our mama’s cried
You said, «I do» & I did too
Take me home where we met so many years before
We’ll rock our babies on the very front porch
After all this time, you & I
And 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
