It started way back in third grade
I used to sit beside Emmylou Hayes
A pink dress, matching bow,in her pony tail.
She kissed me on the school bus,but told me not to tell
Next day I chased her round the playground
Across the monkey bars, to the merry-go-round
And Emmylou got caught passing me a note
Before the teacher took it, I read what she wrote.
Do you love me, do you wanna be my friend?
And if you do, well then don`t be afraid
to take me by the hand if you want to.
I think this is how love goes, check yes or no.
Now we`re grown up and she`s my wife.
Still like two little kids with stars in our eyes.
Ain`t much changed, I still chase Emmylou
Up and down the hall, around the bed in our room.
Last night I took her out in a white limousine
Twenty years together, she still gets to me
Can`t believe it`s been that long ago.
When we got started with just a little note.
Do you love me, do you wanna be my friend?
And if you do, well then don`t be afraid
to take me by the hand If you want to.
I think this is how love goes, check yes or no.
Do you love me, do you wanna be my friend?
And if you do, well then don`t be afraid to
take me by the hand If you want to.
I think this is how love goes, check yes or no.
