One day, the girl who keeps me awake at night
Will hold me tight, run her fingers through my hair,
And show me how loved I am—
And I’ll know: one day is here.
One day, we’ll go to Boston
To watch the Red Sox beat the Yankees at home.
I’ll glance at her after Duran or Gonzalez
Hits a walk-off homer,
And I’ll know: one day is here.
One day, I’ll come home from a long day’s work
To the home we built together,
And I’ll see her with our beautiful family—
See her smile the smile I needed most—
And I’ll know: one day is here.
One day, we’ll be getting ready for church.
I’ll ask which tie matches my button-up,
And she’ll tell me through a mouthful of toothpaste,
And I’ll know: one day is here.
One day, I’ll see her walking down the aisle,
More beautiful than I ever imagined.
Tears will fall to my chin
As I choke out my vows,
And I’ll know: one day is here.
One day, we’ll sit on the porch we built,
Swinging in chairs we made,
Sipping coffee,
Watching the sunrise
With years of memories behind us—
And I’ll know: one day is here.
And one day,
I’ll be held by the same girl
Who once ran her fingers through my hair
When I was young and restless.
And I’ll realize we’re now old,
And that one day…
Was always here.
