Lyrics

We were too afraid to touch
I knew I loved you too much
To settle for the distance of a friend
We swam in student loans
Sold sandwiches and cell phones
Didn't have a dime but we had time to spend

Thought that we knew everything
Jumped the gun and bought gold rings
Got married in the blazing August heat
Opened all the gifts we got
In the Empire Theatre parking lot
We tied the knot and never got cold feet

There isn't one thing I would alter
I know you'll stand by me through thick and thin
When we walk together, our steps will never falter
I don't know where you stop and I begin
Twenty years in

Remember when you bought me
A pair of fancy stockings
that Christmas when the money was running tight
I was mad for what you spent
Overlooked your good intent
But after all this time they still fit me just right

We lived in dingy basements
So glad to have our own place
Went to school and brought two babies to the world
Even after all these years
Changed plans, and changed careers
I only really want to be your girl

There isn't one thing I would alter
I know you'll stand by me through thick and thin
When we walk together, our steps will never falter
I don't know where you stop and I begin
Twenty years in

Now our little girl has grown
Has a sweetheart of her own
When they meet for tea he brings flowers
Now I see myself in her
And just how young we were
I hope she knows a love as sweet as ours

There isn't one thing I would alter
I know you'll stand by me through thick and thin
When we walk together, our steps will never falter
I don't know where you stop and I begin
Twenty years in
