"I was seven, and you were nine
At the time, I was just a little girl and you were a little boy.

I looked at you like the stars that shined
I admired you with all my heart and you were the center of my world.

In the sky, the pretty lights."
You were my guiding light and I looked up to you with all my might.

And our daddies used to joke about the two of us
Our fathers would tease us about growing up and falling in love someday.

Growing up and fallin' in love
They thought we would mature and eventually develop feelings for each other.

And our mamas smiled, and rolled their eyes
Our mothers would laugh and think it was cute, but they didn't take it seriously.

And said, "Oh, my, my, my"
They found the whole situation amusing and endearing.

Take me back to the house in the backyard tree
I want to relive the cozy memories of our secret hideaway in the treehouse.

Said you'd beat me up; you were bigger than me
You would tease and threaten me but I knew deep down you were just being playful.

You never did, you never did
We would playfully argue and tease each other, but we never physically hurt one another.

Take me back when our world was one block wide
Our world consisted of just one small neighborhood block where we would play as kids.

I dared you to kiss me, and ran when you tried
I challenged you to kiss me but when you actually tried, I got shy and ran away.

Just two kids, you and I
We were just innocent children who had yet to experience love and all its complexities.

Well, I was sixteen when suddenly
At sixteen, I realized I was growing up and changing, and so were my feelings for you.

I wasn't that little girl you used to see
I wasn't the same naive little girl you used to know.

But your eyes still shined, like pretty lights
You still had that same sparkle in your eyes that caught my attention all those years ago.

They never believed we'd really fall in love
Our fathers doubted that our childhood fondness for each other would ever turn into true love.

Take me back to the creek beds we turned up
I want to relive the memories of the times we explored the creeks together.

Two AM, ridin' in your truck
We would take late-night drives in your truck and just talk and laugh for hours.

And all I need is you next to me
All I ever really wanted was to be by your side.

Take me back to the time we had our very first fight
I want to go back to the moment when we first fought and made up, a defining moment in our relationship.

Slammin' of doors 'stead of kissin' goodnight
Instead of expressing affection, we fought and slammed doors in frustration.

You stayed outside till the morning light
After our fight, you didn't give up on me and stayed outside until we reconciled.

A few years had gone and come around
Years had passed, and we had grown and changed during that time.

We were sittin' at our favorite spot in town
We sat together in one of our favorite spots, reminiscing on our history together.

And you looked at me, got down on one knee
You proposed to me, and it was a beautiful and romantic moment.

Take me back to the time when we walked down the aisle
I want to go back to our wedding day and relive the beautiful moment of saying our vows.

Our whole town came, and our mamas cried
Our families and townspeople gathered to celebrate our love, and there were tears of joy all around.

You said, "I do," and I did too
We both pledged our love and commitment to each other and started our life together as a married couple.

Take me home where we met so many years before
I want to go back to the place where we first met and where our love story began.

We'll rock our babies on the very front porch
We'll watch our children grow on the front porch of our home, where we will create more family memories.

After all this time, you and I
Despite everything we've been through in life, we still have each other, and our love has stood the test of time.

And I'll be eighty-seven, you'll be eighty-nine
We'll grow old and watch our lives pass by, but we'll always have each other.

I'll still look at you like the stars that shine in the sky
Even in our old age, I will still have admiration and love for you like I did when we were young.

Oh, my, my, my
Oh, how we've come full circle from our innocent childhood to becoming lifelong companions.
