Lifelong

Pigtails and roller skates, imaginary friends and staying up late
Sidewalk chalk, elementary school
She played with Barbie Dolls, she played pretend
And she tried to be cool
She discovered boys and telephone calls
Funny faces in the photo booth, hanging out at the mall
Then football games and high school dances
Who can forget, teenage romances
A boy came along one day and swept that girl right off her feet
He was kinder and more handsome than any boy she'd ever meet
Although the road was rough, and little things, they would go wrong
She knew her love for him would always be, lifelong
Long hair and the Grateful Dead, "that boy's no good,"
Her mother once said
Her daddy said the boy didn't have any drive
"You aren't movin' west with him young lady, as long as I'm alive"
But they were just being parents and she followed her heart
And shortly thereafter, even her parents got smart
And they could see what everyone could see
A couple in love just doing what was meant to be
A girl came along one day and swept that boy right off of his feet
She was funny and more beautiful than any girl he'd ever meet
Although the road was rough, and little things, they would go wrong
He knew his love for her would always be, lifelong
So now we're standing here together
Before this husband and wife
To toast the happy couple and to wish them both a wonderful life
Raise your glasses high, to the stars above
I hope each one of you, someday, can find
Such a perfect love
Pigtails and roller skates
Imaginary friends and staying up late
