Making Memories
Lonestar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The perfect picture of an angel
Sunlight shining on your face
Through the window while you're sleeping
My arms around you
I feel your heartbeat and something strong, girl
I'm gonna hold this moment
Like the look in your eyes on the day that we first met
Walking on the beach, kissing as the sun sets
Loving in the back seat, underneath the summer moon
The weekend we spent down in New Orleans
I gave you that ring while the rain was pouring
I promised I'll spend the rest of my life with you
Making memories
Did I wake you?
I didn't mean to, was I thinking out loud?
The way you're smiling
I know you know what I was thinking about
So let's stay under the covers
Just make love till we're out of strength
Make another moment
To remember for you and me
Like the look in your eyes on the day that we first met
Walking on the beach, kissing as the sun sets
Loving in the back seat, underneath the summer moon
The weekend we spent down in New Orleans
I gave you that ring while the rain was pouring
I promised I'll spend the rest of my life with you
Oh, making memories, ooh, yeah
I remember that weekend we spent down in New Orleans
I gave you that ring while the rain was pouring
I promised I'll spend the rest of my life with you
Making memories, yeah
You and me, making memories, making memories, yeah
Like the day we met, kissing as the sun sets
Making memories, making memories, ooh
