Five Years

A young love had lost its wings
Thought it meant everything
Heartbroke at seventeen
This had to be the end for me
Time passed with a little growing up
Met the one at twenty years old
And from that moment
Little did I know
How fast it would go, because

Next thing I knew it I was twenty three
With her looking back at me on one knee
Saying Allee Kay would you take this ring
You're my everything
I turn the page and I'm twenty five
Saying yes to forever
With the love of my life but
How long could forever be
If we're already
Five years in the making
Hmm

And just like that it was you and me
Jet plane over seas
To a land of make believe
That's how it seemed at least
And In the mountains of Amalfi Coast
I asked you if you'd ever let me go
And under that olive tree
Is when you kissed me
And said never for anything

So forever I'll be twenty three
With her looking back at me on one knee
Saying Allee Kay would you take this ring
You were always my everything
In my heart I'll be twenty five
Saying yes to forever
With the love of my life but
How long could forever be
It was only
Five years in the making

If this is all I ever get
I'd still be the happiest man who ever lived
If this is all I ever get
I'd still be the happiest man who ever lived

So forever I'll be twenty three
With her looking back at me on one knee
Saying Allee Kay would you take this ring
You were always my everything
In my heart I'll be twenty five
Saying yes to forever
With the love of my life but
How long could forever be
It was only
Five years in the making
Mmmm
It was only five years
Mmmmmmmm
Five years in and forever to go with you
