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
