[violins intro]
[Verse 1] [male voice]
I don’t know where this is going,
But I sure know what I am hoping,
‘Cause it sure feels like love to me,
And I hope it’s for eternity.
[Verse 2] [male voice]
We were young when we first met,
A blind date on an old friend’s bet.
It was clear we were meant to be,
From our first kiss in Tennessee.
[Verse 3] [male voice]
By the next week you were gone,
With your parents to another home.
Uncle Sam took me away that day,
To a desert nation so far away.
[Verse 4] [rising intensity] [male voice]
With missiles flying high overhead,
I’d dream of you from my Army bed.
Then came the news you’d run away,
Married a rocker by the name of Clay.
[Powerful Chorus] [male voice]
What was I supposed to do,
Live a life feeling sad and blue?
I promised myself I’d go back and fight,
And be there for you when it was right.
[Verse 5] [male voice]
My world was shattered, all torn apart,
Knowing another had stolen your heart.
The very thought of losing you,
Consumed my soul and made me blue.
[Verse 6] [female voice]
Many years have passed us by,
We’re no longer young, but let us try.
Let’s forget that time has passed,
Rekindle a love that will always last.
[Verse 7] [female voice]
Roll back the clock and pick back up,
Where we left off in that pickup truck.
We’ll build new memories made of gold,
Holding hands while we grow old.
[Verse 8] [rising intensity] [male voice]
We’ll plant our feet in Tennessee,
Where we first met and were meant to be.
We’ll buy a house with a front porch swing,
I’ll never leave you if you wear my ring.
[Powerful Chorus] [male voice]
What was I supposed to do,
Live a life feeling sad and blue?
I promised myself to go back and fight,
And be there for you when it was right.
[Verse 9] [female voice]
I know our love is forever strong,
Forget the past and what went wrong,
Make new memories, erase the past,
Let’s build a love that will always last.
[Verse 10] [female voice]
Beating hearts now merged together,
Cleared the skies of all stormy weather.
I’m move on now consumed with emotion,
Mesmerized by your love potion.
[Verse 11][rising intensity] [male voice]
We won’t focus on what went wrong,
Instead we’ll build a happy home.
Creating a beautiful family,
Making girls like you and boys like me.
[Final Chorus] [Powerful Chorus] [male voice]
What was I supposed to do,
Live a life feeling sad and blue?
I promised myself to go back and fight,
And be there for you when it was right.
