Tonight I'm Asking You

I thought you were out of my league; You called and asked me out. That first date at Wolf Covered Bridge Still makes me smile right now. I couldn’t see the years ahead Or all we’d travel through. I only knew I wanted Another day with you.

I know the life we’ve made together; There’s more I want to know.

You asked me first all those years ago, And I still say yes to you. What’s the dream that makes your eyes light up? What would you love to do? Let the world wait just a little while; Tonight belongs to you. You asked me first all those years ago— Tonight I’m asking you.

One birthday, I stood holding roses, Waiting on your plane. You made it one day later; I could finally breathe again. We married on my birthday, So I wouldn’t miss our day. Thirty-one years later, You still take my breath away.

You asked me first all those years ago, And I still say yes to you. What’s the dream that makes your eyes light up? What would you love to do? Let the world wait just a little while; Tonight belongs to you. You asked me first all those years ago— Tonight I’m asking you.

When this song is over, Here’s what I can do: Put my phone down, pull a chair up, Give my time to you. If we both woke up tomorrow And couldn’t remember yesterday, I’d be the one to ask you first— And fall for you anyway.

You asked me first all those years ago, And I still say yes to you. What’s the dream that makes your eyes light up? What would you love to do? Let the world wait just a little while; Tonight belongs to you. You asked me first all those years ago— Tonight I’m asking you.

Some days we drive each other crazy, Some days we hardly talk at all. Some days we’re just plain lazy, But the good days make up for them all. When this life of ours is over And our time on earth is through, I hope our kids know we did our best— The very best we knew how to do.

I love you.
