Prom Queen
Peter McPoland Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
High school sweetheart
She′s an angel from above
She's a shooting star
It's true
Here′s to the prom queen
Carry your prom queen down the aisle
Let the wedding band play you out
Drink in the basement honeymoon
And graduations coming soon
Congratulations to the bride and groom
Kiss, oh, so quietly
Now that her parents are asleep
This is true love
High school sweethearts
She′s an angel from above
She's a shooting star
It′s true
Here's to the prom queen
Come Monday evening, cap and gown
Come Tuesday, leaving little town
Sit on the park bench
Where you fell in love
Beside the tree you carve your name
Lie in the backseat wide awake
Wipe the tears away
And say your good night
Kiss, oh, so quietly
Now that her parents are asleep
This is true love
High school sweethearts
She′s an angel from above
She's a shooting star
It′s true
Here's to the prom queen
Kiss, oh, so quietly
Now that her parents are asleep
This is true love
High school sweethearts
She's an angel from above
She′s a shooting star
It′s true
Here's to the prom queen

Comfort each other when they're sad
And say your good night
Say good night to each other
