This was written about two friends who were dating for years and got married young. I always admired their relaxed but exceptionally loyal attitudes and their confidence in their own relationship. They exude a sense of fresh youth tempered with maturity that allows for an ever-evolving but steady life together.

Lyrics
leaves in fall
falling all around
sky so blue
I could reach out
and give it to you
we were two
lying on the grass
watching the evening come
blowing on pipes
and banging on drums
running around
laughing out loud and having fun
skipping through crowds
singing sha-la-la-la
I like this one
driving home
the two of us alone
feels so nice
driving with you
into the night
let's not fight
we'll find another way
I like to see you smile
so I'll give you mine
to keep for a while
we'll run around
laughing out loud and having fun
skipping through crowds
singing sha-la-la-la
I like this one
you know that I could be
around the bend for you
mira mirame
look at you looking at me
there goes gravity
shifting beneath my feet
there goes gravity
lifting beneath my feet
your love's soft
your love is kind
the whole world melts down
to what you are here
and what you are now
I recall
lying in the leaves
it smells sweet to me
knowing I was and knowing
I'll be
all along
in your love
knowing I was all along
in your love
