lyrics

You
ten years ago
were an old friend
one that frankly I
should’ve known better

and I
I was a silly girl
but I meant well
(oh, I meant extremely well)

You
ten years ago
were the sweetest groom
you cried right through
your vows and I couldn’t stop beaming

We ran
out the door
the minute we could,
we drove to Canada
where I was old enough to drink

a glass of wine like a grown up
(I was a grown up, right?)
At least,
at last I was your wife

Now your shoes by the door
your coat on the hook
bring it home to me
that you are home

No matter how late it is
no matter how dark it gets
we belong together
I am yours and you are mine

And then a lot of stuff happened, like
college degrees
and babies
(oh, those babies)

Now you,
you make coffee for me
every morning
and we sit on the porch
in our jammies until the girls wake up

and then
we’re off and running again,
oh, we’re running again,
and you make us laugh about it
(I love that about you)

Now your book by the bed,
your clothes on the floor
bring it home to me
that we are home

No matter how long it’s been,
no matter how dark it gets
we belong together
I am yours and you are mine

But I would be remiss if I
did not give credit where credit was due
and I give a lot to you,
but even more to the one who made you

His hand
in the midst of this
has made it the bliss it is
to be married to you

Now our shoes in a pile by the door,
our coats in a heap on the floor
bring it home to me
that we are right at home here

No matter how dark it gets
no matter how long it's been
we belong together,
I am yours and you are mine.

You
ten years ago
were an old friend
one that I in time would get to know just fine
