99 Years (Duet with Jennifer Nettles)

Boy meets girl and the world stops turning She makes him forget all the rules he was learning They give a toast to the ones who never stop hoping With not much to lean and eyes wide open And they look up high and wonder what the future's gonna hold Will we look back down on 99 years of a wonderful life? Where we laughed 'til we cried, and our love grew stronger with every fight There'll be a thousand moments for you to say, "I told you" And a million more for us to say, "I love you" So let's look forward to you, and I looking back At 99 years like that At 99 years like that They build a house of love in the face of worry But life has a way of rewriting the story (rewriting the story) There were times when it looked like nothing could save them And there were times when it looked like nothing could break them They keep promising each other what the future's gonna hold Will we look back down on 99 years of a wonderful life? Where we laughed and we cried, and our love grew stronger with every fight There'll be a thousand moments for you to say, "I told you" And a million more for us to say, "I love you" So let's look forward to you and I looking back To 99 years Of nothing unspoken (nothing unspoken) Live every day hoping (every day hoping) That when we feel broken Our scars make us golden Still choose (choose) you and I Will we look back down on 99 years of a wonderful life? Where we laughed 'til we cried, and our love was stronger with every fight There'll be a thousand moments for you to say, "I told you" And a million more for us to say, "I love you" So let's look forward to you, and I looking back At 99 years like that Ooh, 99 years like that Oh-oh, at 99 years like that
