I’ll Love You Longer

I said, "Hey," you just smiled Song played on, we talked for a while Your hair was up, your skin was tan My heart skipped a beat when you touched my hand That September sun went to sinking real slow When the moon went to creeping up high Leaned in for a kiss and you ended up in My arms for the rest of my life I'll love you longer than the Mississippi River Stronger than a wind in the winter Better than a Hemingway novel Right hand down on the Bible I'm all yours, all the time Through your lowest lows and your highest highs It's a long ride from here to forever But girl, I'll love you longer Yeah You fit right in when I brought you home Mama said, "Boy, don't you let her go" Don't worry, mama, I ain't that crazy That girl right there, she ain't no maybe So I worked a little more and I slept a little less Put a little back every paycheck Took you out one night and, girl, you cried When I hit one knee and said I'll love you longer than the Mississippi River Stronger than a wind in the winter Better than a Hemingway novel Right hand down on the Bible I'm all yours, all the time Through your lowest lows and your highest highs It's a long ride from here to forever But, girl, I'll love you longer Yeah Yeah, I'm gonna get a little house, porch and a swing Love on the line and the world on a string Writing our story, living the dream Just you and me I'll love you longer than the Mississippi River Stronger than a wind in the winter Better than a Hemingway novel Right hand down on the Bible I'm all yours, all the time Through your lowest lows and your highest highs It's a long ride from here to forever But, girl, I'll love you longer Yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah I'll love you longer (I'm gonna get a little house, porch and a swing) (Love on the line and the world on a string) (Writing our story, living the dream) (Just you and me)
