Long brown hair pretty blue eyes,
first time I felt butterflies,
I was fallin', fallin'.
Skinny dippin' down in that creek,
you and me were only knee deep,
but I was drownin', drownin'.
Another beat skippin' in my heart,
one last wish on a shooting star.
Droppin' you off right around midnight,
one last kiss in those headlights.
And I knew like the ocean knows the sand,
like music knows the dance.
Like a fire knows a match,
And I knew,
The way a gambler knows his hand,
From the moment that I laid my eyes on you,
I knew.
Little white church, our home town,
coming down the aisle in your wedding gown,
I was shaking, shaking.
Preacher asked me if I said I do,
I said yes and you did too.
First time I felt like your man,
was slippin' that ring on your hand.
And I knew like the ocean knows the sand,
like music knows the dance.
Like a fire knows a match,
And I knew
The way a gambler knows his hand,
From the moment that I laid my eyes on you,
I knew.
Still ain't even caught my breathe,
this train we're on ain't slowed down yet.
The feeling of your silhouette still burns a hole in my chest.
And I knew like the ocean knows the sand,
like music knows the dance.
Like a fire knows a match,
And I knew,
The way a gambler knows his hand,
From the moment that I laid my eyes on you,
I knew.
I knew.
