16

We were only sixteen when we said we were in love

Parents said we're moving too fast, needed time to grow up

But I didn't care then, I still don't now, damn

Look how it's all turned out

We were two kids falling in love

At the time we couldn't get enough

Sitting in the backyard swinging on a porch swing

Vowing to never give up

Here we are now, getting married, ready to say I do

And the sky was so pretty and your love was living in me

Couldn't wait to grow old with you

One year later, there's a baby on the way I'm getting restless like a fool

You look me in the eyes, tell me to slow it down

Just like our folks used to

Now we are just getting older, but our love, it don't fade

Kids coming over, sitting on the couch, babies on the way, yeah

Time keeps on ticking on every single day

Love till the lights go out, even when our hair turns gray

Cause we were

Only 16 when we said we were in love

Parents said we're moving too fast, need a time to grow up

But I didn't care then, I still don't now, damn

Look how it's all turned out

We were two kids falling in love

At the time we couldn't get enough

Sitting in the backyard swinging on a porch swing

Vowing to never give up
