Story of Us
Lonely day in a ball gown
One big dance going all alone
A quick phone call a couple messages
And a new date at the door
By nine o'clock they were spinnin' around that dance floor
Teachin' her to spin and dip
Applause comes from jealous eyes
Perfect night to party away together
Learning every detail of the other
Ending the night hand in hand, laughing and falling in love
Fast forward three months, still together
He takes her to the fair
Day of laughs and and adventure
Evening comes in a pouring rain
Like it does from sad movie scenes
He asks his girl if he could have this dance
Dancing in the rain
The story of us
He became her life
Her cowboy
Her knight in shining armour
Her Prince Charming
Her army man
They spend weekends apart
While he protects her dreams
She dreams away days in class
Waiting up for him to call
He fights each day
Counting down the days to hold her again
Two years after be became her date
He's home on leave
Puts a ring on her left hand in a ceremony
Promises to be home soon
A weekend spent together ends returning to the airport
Four months later, they get on skype
He'll be home soon
Husband and wife together in love
She answers with dozens of pink balloons and a black and white picture
Tears flow and they love more than ever
Going to his homecoming
Dressed up proudly showing her bump
She will be here soon
He will meet his baby girl
At te hospital welcoming their little girl
Looks like an angel wrapped in soft warm pink with a little hat
He deploys a few more times
She raises tier little girl and their two boys
Their baby girl grows up like her daddy
And the boys protect her
He retires to spend the rest of his life with his true love
They raise their babies to be an Army man, a Marine, and a Princess
Together they grew old on their front porch in rocking chairs
They had lived the American dream
And lived a life out of a fairytale story
The story if is
A dance in the rain
An army man
A college girl
A cowboy
And a southern charm
A knight in shining armor
A damsel in distress
A Prince Charming
And a princess
The story of us
