Drew Parker - I'll Love You Longer

I said "Hey", you just smiled
Song played on, we talked for a while
Your hair was up, your skin was tan
My heart skipped a beat when you touched my hand
That September sun went to sinking real slow
When the moon went to creeping up high
Leaned in for a kiss and you ended up in my arms for the rest of my life

I'll love you longer than the Mississippi river
Stronger than a wind in the winter
Better than a Hemingway novel
Right hand down on the Bible
I'm all yours, all the time
Through your lowest lows and your highest highs
It's a long ride from here to forever
But girl, I'll love you longer
Yeah

You fit right in when I brought you home
Mama said, "Boy don't you let her go"
Don't you worry, mama, I ain't that crazy
That girl right there, she ain't no maybe
So I worked a little more and I slept a little less
Put a little back every paycheck
Took you out one night and girl, you cried
When I hit one knee and said

I'll love you longer than the Mississippi river
Stronger than a wind in the winter
Better than a Hemingway novel
Right hand down on the Bible
I'm all yours, all the time
Through your lowest lows and your highest highs
It's a long ride from here to forever
But girl, I'll love you longer
Yeah

Yeah, I'm gonna get a little house
Porch and a swing
Love on the line and the world on a string
Writing our story
Living the dream
Just you and me

I'll love you longer than the Mississippi river
Stronger than a wind in the winter
Better than a Hemingway novel
Right hand down on the Bible
I'm all yours, all the time
Through your lowest lows and your highest highs
It's a long ride from here to forever
But girl, I'll love you longer
Yeah, yeah
I'll love you longer (gonna get a little house)
(Porch and a swing)
(Love on the line and the world on a string)
(Writing our story)
(Living the dream)
(Just you and me)
