Strong

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
