The stars shine bright,

on this faithful night.

I recalled our love,

as they twinkle above.

We started as friends, looking for each other,

We’d read the same books, from cover to cover.

We laughed at the same jokes,

we both preferred Coke,

and we decided to keep in touch.

Well the years passed by,

as time did fly,

and we’ve been friends ever since.

One night I asked you out,

and you said yes without a doubt,

we drank sweet tea on that picket fence.

We both grew older, and grew closer,

and realized the love we shared.

Your father threatened, in the dark,

if you got hurt, more’d be broken then my heart.

And I told him “I wouldn’t dare”

Now I have a house out in the woods,

and a truck with horses under its hood,

and have the hang of responsibility.

So on this pretty night,

I hope I do this right,

when I ask,

”Miss, will you marry me?”
