I’ll Love You Longer
I said, "Hey," you just smiled
Song played on, we talked for a while
Your hair was up, your skin was tan
My heart skipped a beat when you touched my hand
That September sun went to sinking real slow
When the moon went to creeping up high
Leaned in for a kiss and you ended up in
My arms for the rest of my life
I'll love you longer than the Mississippi River
Stronger than a wind in the winter
Better than a Hemingway novel
Right hand down on the Bible
I'm all yours, all the time
Through your lowest lows and your highest highs
It's a long ride from here to forever
But girl, I'll love you longer
Yeah
You fit right in when I brought you home
Mama said, "Boy, don't you let her go"
Don't worry, mama, I ain't that crazy
That girl right there, she ain't no maybe
So I worked a little more and I slept a little less
Put a little back every paycheck
Took you out one night and, girl, you cried
When I hit one knee and said
I'll love you longer than the Mississippi River
Stronger than a wind in the winter
Better than a Hemingway novel
Right hand down on the Bible
I'm all yours, all the time
Through your lowest lows and your highest highs
It's a long ride from here to forever
But, girl, I'll love you longer
Yeah
Yeah, I'm gonna get a little house, porch and a swing
Love on the line and the world on a string
Writing our story, living the dream
Just you and me
I'll love you longer than the Mississippi River
Stronger than a wind in the winter
Better than a Hemingway novel
Right hand down on the Bible
I'm all yours, all the time
Through your lowest lows and your highest highs
It's a long ride from here to forever
But, girl, I'll love you longer
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
I'll love you longer (I'm gonna get a little house, porch and a swing)
(Love on the line and the world on a string)
(Writing our story, living the dream)
(Just you and me)
