My favorite memories are here, with you Riding in your car One hand on the steering wheel, the other in mine One eye staring at the road to keep us safe The other can’t resist looking back at me With love
Your voice sings loud enough to cover the radio Notes above and below pitch I’m a critic, but I don’t mind Because you’re mine You’re all I need
Consistent trips to an overpriced coffee shop Caffeine runs through our veins Caffeine mixed with a four letter word One that drove our actions, our words, our hearts When we were still too afraid to say it
I first told you here, where my favorite memories are Because it is one Though it isn’t perfect and romantic as I’d hoped It’s our memory all the same When my fear of that same four letter word was lost And my fear of losing you replaced it I had to tell you
I sat there quiet, refusing to look at you And when I did I just couldn’t help myself Whispering softly I said it And my whole world changed
Suddenly it was different Love existed because you and I existed And in the midst of fooling around In an empty parking lot In your car with the radio off I told you I love you
I feared the worst in that moment Until you tilted my head up So that my eyes would meet yours And you smiled And before you said it, your eyes did And I knew you loved me And then you said it Pure bliss
I never knew such a feeling existed It was different than I’d imagined Better It gets better every day Because each morning I wake up I look at the picture frame on my nightstand The two of us staring into each other’s eyes With love
Each morning I wake up I fall deeper in love with you than the day before Cliché I suppose But with love All the clichés begin to come true
There isn’t a thing I wouldn’t do To make you happy To see you smile To hear you laugh To feel your lips softly caress mine
