Marry Me Again Lyrics:
Oh
We came a long way from lawn chair beers
In my garage by candle light
It felt so right when we locked eyes
The first time you stayed the night
We wrote our plans in Captiva sands
That everything and nothing changed
You still drive me crazy
I thank God you took my name
Now look at us, here we are
We got ourselves a pretty good start
We fell together and not apart
Made it out alive with a couple scars
I'm down on the same knee, holding a new ring
Saying the same things I said back thеn
What do you say, before we makе it another ten?
Will you marry me again?
Wherever we're at, you make it a home
Wanted a family, now we're making our own
Yeah, we're loving and giving our boys what we didn't have
And on top of that, your sweet loving saved me
And they said we would never last
But look at us, here we are
Got ourselves a pretty good start
We fell together and not apart
Made it out alive with a couple scars
I'm down on the same knee, holding a new ring
Saying the same things I said back then
What do you say, before we make it another ten?
Will you marry me again?
Baby, marry me again
When our lawn chairs become rockers
And our boys become fathers
If the good Lord calls me home
It'll be you that I'm waiting on
I'm down on the same knee, holding a new ring
Saying the same things I said back then
What do you say, before we make it another ten?
Marry me, marry me again
Baby, marry me again
Oh
