lyrics

When I first saw you
I saw us
I saw a boy fall in love with a girl
In the bed of that truck
And when I hear your voice
Whispering my name
I hear a slow song
I see us dancing in the rain
Sometimes I know
That I can be hard to love

When you wake up in the middle of the night
I got my arms wrapped around you holding you tight
And ill be by your side till the day I die and then some
I'll kiss you when you cry and tell you look pretty
Hop in my truck and get out of the city
Lay you down under the stars no sleeping till the sun comes up
And I pray to god
That one day you'll see
The man you make me wanna be

Remember our first date
We were candles in the truck bed
I was strumming you up an old George Strait song you were singing along
Oh I could've played it for you all night long
But I wonder if I'll ever be enough
Because I know that I can be hard to love

When you wake up in the middle of the night
I got my arms wrapped around you holding you tight
And ill be by your side till the day I die and then some
I'll kiss you when you cry and tell you look pretty
Hop in my truck and get out of the city
Lay you down under the stars no sleeping till the sun comes up

I used to feel alone
I thought I was ok
I never knew what love was
Till I heard you say

You woke me up late last night
Told me something didn't feel quite right
I asked what it was you said somethings missing
One little ring makes a life worth living
When you wake up in the middle of the night
I got my arms wrapped around you holding you tight
And ill be by your side till the day I die and then some
I'll kiss you when you cry and tell you look pretty
Hop in my truck and get out of the city
Lay you down under the stars no sleeping till the sun comes up
And I pray to god
That one day I'll be
The only man you'll ever need
