Life ain’t measured by the breaths we take
But in the moments that take our breath away
No one’s ever made me smile like you did
No one’s ever touched my inner child like you did

Remember how we’d count the days
When we’d have to go our separate ways
Makin’ memories that would always trace my footsteps back to you

All through the night you said you loved me like light
Like the sunrise in those brown eyes, when I’d wake to you
You said you swear that you need me like air
I would breathe for you, get on my knees for you
When you promised me you’d always be my, my forever and ever boo

If I could change one thing to change your world
I would turn back time and hold that little girl
And I’d gather all her tears and put out the fire
That burned up all her dreams and bring them back a while
And her momma wouldn’t feel the need to drink anymore
When daddy came back through the door

All through the night you said you loved me like light
Like the sunrise in those brown eyes, when I wake to you
You said you swear that you need me like air
But now I'm pleading you, just when I’m needing you
‘Cause you promised me you’d always be my, my forever and ever boo

Do you remember our first night together
Like it was yesterday, as we danced the night away
Singin’ softly in my ear, words I always longed to hear
Within that moment, it was where I wanna’ stay

All through the night you said you loved me like light
Like the sunrise in your brown eyes when I’d wake to you
You said you swear that you need me like air
But now I'm leavin’ you, ‘cause I believed in you
When you promised me you’d always be
You promised me you’d always be
Yes you promised me you’d always be my, forever and ever boo
