VERSE 1.
Twenty years ago
She was part of a crowd
Standing across the room
But, soon everyone there disappeared
It wasn't love at first sight
They had to look twice
But in the snap of a finger
And a wink of the eye
They were sharing their lives
Twenty years ago
Lift
And as they held each other they barely moved
And the room began spinning just to prove ... that ....
Chorus
Twenty years ago can seem like yesterday
When love appears and makes you give your heart away
So, you just let go
And before you know
It's twenty years ago

VERSE 2.
At a baseball game
Out in the bleachers
He pulled a diamond from out of his shirt
And asked if she could love him forever
She said, "I'll need some time"
Then she turned away
But she spun around and smiled
And he heard her say, "That's all the time I need"
Twenty years ago
Lift
And as they held each other they barely moved
And the stadium was spinning just to prove ... that ...

Repeat Chorus

BRIDGE
There's not a day that doesn't start or end
When they're not living with their best friend
Finding new ways to please each other
Finding new ways to fall in love
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Lift
And as they hold each other they barely move
And the world keeps spinning just to prove ... that ...

Repeat Chorus

great story, well told, well recorded great singer

The song had a nice "Old style Country" feel too it, which is refreshing to listen occasionally in this genre. The song told a story through the lyrics, which is what Country music is all about. The instrumentation and vocal presentation were well suited for this song. The overall production was well done.

Sounds like the stuff coming outta Nashville nowadays... which is a mixed blessing I guess.

Really nice song. Loved it. I think any adult can relate to this song.

I like the sound of the drums and the rhythm guitar, very good lyrics and a great story line. Sounds a little like Jimmy Buffet.

A really top-drawer pop/country song. The lyrics are direct, beautifully written with high quality rhymes. Very good performance, well sung to a straightforward instrumental arrangement which is exactly what the song required. Has a bit of a retro feel which also helps with the charm of the song. Very well recorded and produced. I like it!

Great vocals. Nice changes. Good lyrics. Great music in the background.

Nice happy vibe, reminiscing about how time flies, one day at a time.

Nice lyrics, arrangement, overall recording. Cool song!
