Our Song
Ron Pope Lyrics

On our first date I asked you to dance
I took the first step in us getting to know each other better by asking you to dance.

You turned bright red and started to laugh
You were a bit shy and embarrassed, but still found joy in the moment.

I stayed straight faced until you stopped
I kept my composure while you laughed so that you wouldn't feel uncomfortable.

On that riverbank there was no music to hear
There wasn't any external sound or rhythm to the moment, which made it more intimate.

I pulled you in close and whispered in your ear
I leaned in closely to you to make the moment even more personal and special.

"I think I know a tune you'll like"
I wanted to share something with you that I knew you'd appreciate and enjoy.

So I hummed something soft and sweet
I created our own music and atmosphere, which allowed us to dance more intimately and personally.

The stars came out as we moved our feet
As we danced, the environment around us seemed to respond, making the moment all the more magical.

So won't you take my hand
I want you to trust me and let me lead you through life.

Take my heart
I want to give you all of me, to share our lives together.

Promise to never stop dancing once we start
I want to commit to always being there for you, even when life gets tough.

'Cause this is our song
We created this experience together, and it's something that only we share and understand.

The seasons changed as we fell in love
As we got closer to each other, time seemed to fly by, and our relationship grew and changed.

Learned your brothers' names and the warmth of your arms
I opened up and became a part of your family, and I also grew closer to you emotionally and physically.

Your mother seems to like my jokes
I'm glad to be able to connect with your family, and hope that it adds to our relationship even more.

Got up my nerve and asked your old man
I mustered up the courage to ask for your hand in marriage to show my commitment and love.

Said, "Oh This is love May I have her hand"
I expressed my love for you, and formally requested permission to make you mine forever.

He smiled and said, "Son that'll be just fine"
Your father gave his blessing and approval, adding to the joy and happiness of the moment.

So I took the ring that Grandma'd put aside
To show my love and commitment to you, I put thought and effort into choosing a special ring that would honor your family and ancestors.

Dropped to one knee and looked in your eyes
I wanted to make this moment all about you and us, getting down on my knee so that you could see and understand my love and intention perfectly.

If the stars burn out and no longer shine
Even in the midst of darkness, sadness or hardship, my love for you never falters or fades.

I'll still search for heaven right in your eyes
You are my light, my home, and my comfort- you bring heaven to me, and I will always seek and cherish that in you.

I can't promise no fairytale but you'll be the queen in any castle I build
I may not be able to provide every dream or fantasy you have, but I promise to do everything in my power to make you feel loved and cherished always.

I will bring you the mountains Write your name 'cross the sky
I am willing to go above and beyond for you, to show my love and admiration, to explore the world together, and to create unique moments that we'll both treasure.

Anything that you need I will try to find
Your happiness and well-being are extremely important to me, so I will always do my best to support you and provide for you in any way that I can.
