Do you remember last Thursday night by the wishing well?
I hope you wished for yourself 'cause I wished for you as well.
Now I literally don't remember the first night we met,
but I remember your sweet blue eyes, that's a vignette I'll never forget.
I know we just embarked on a long rocky road,
and one day you might wake up and decide that I've grown old, but
wait before we let this whole thing just slide,
I hope that you and I will go for the Ride.
Well I've been a fool, been one most of my life
with mistakes done made and plenty of personal strife
but if I got one thing right then I guess this is true
oh, that one thing, that one thing is you
I know we just embarked on a long rocky road,
and one day you might wake up and decide that I've grown old, but
wait before we let this whole thing just slide,
I hope that you and I will go for the Ride.
I know we don't know exactly what we're doing
with the mischief managed and the old folks that we're fooling, but
whenever you ask me just what I want to do,
I'll say anything, babe, as long as it's with you.
the Ride.
