1993
Stephen Kellogg and The Sixers Lyrics

I was never the one to be on time
I had a habit of being late to things.

I was only 16 when I met my wife
I met my future wife at a young age.

I took her out on a date, yeah they were good ol' times
Our early dates were filled with happy memories.

I never was late for a Friday night
I always made sure to be on time to see my girlfriend on Friday nights.

We lived at least two towns apart
We didn't live close to each other.

I'd sneak out of my parent's house after dark
I had to sneak out of my parent's house to see my girlfriend.

Throwing rocks at the window till she'd appear
I used to throw rocks at my girlfriend's window to get her attention.

If I close my eyes I can almost see her
I have vivid memories of my girlfriend from back then.

I fell in love back in 1993
I fell in love with my girlfriend in 1993.

I fell in love and I'm never going back to sleep
I am completely in love with my girlfriend and will never let go.

So I told her I did and she did too
I told my girlfriend I loved her and she felt the same.

We got a two room apartment and ate takeout food
We started a life together in a modest apartment and ate cheap food.

It wasn't even a year and we were on our way
We were happy and committed to each other in less than a year.

The doctor says "It's a girl and have you picked a name?"
We had a baby girl and had to choose a name for her.

And if she meets some boy two towns apart
If my daughter falls in love with someone far away, I will worry.

I'll be up till dawn watching for his car
I will stay up late, waiting to see if anyone is coming to visit my daughter.

But for now I'm up every night and day
As of now, I am up all the time taking care of my daughter.

You know I wouldn't have it any other way
Even though it's hard work, I wouldn't want it any other way.

Sweet little thing got my wrapped around her finger
My daughter has a hold on me and I am a devoted father.

I blink my eyes and I'm thinking that this can't be right
It's hard to believe how fast time went by and how quickly things changed.

That little miss became a woman over night
My daughter seems to have grown up in the blink of an eye.

She's getting married and she says that he's a lot like me
My daughter is getting married and her fiancé has qualities that remind her of me.

Maybe I just fell asleep in front of MTV, all I know is that
It's as if time flew by and I missed something important.

Still like your conversation and you still look good to me
My girlfriend is still someone I enjoy talking to and find attractive.

This all started back in 1993
All of these memories go back to the year 1993.
