It almost happened at the beach, but I couldn’t find the words
Then at her birthday party, well I guess I lost my nerve
I keep buildin’ up my courage but when I look in her eyes
All those perfect plans I’ve made melt like snow in mid-July
I’m a country boy who’s burstin’ with love
Got a ring in my back pocket and a tongue that’s tangled up

Chorus
I’m gonna ask her tonight
Gonna tell her everything
That’s in my heart and on my mind
I’m gonna ask her tonight
Even if my hands are shakin’ and the stars ain’t lined up right
I want her to be my valentine for life
I’m gonna ask her tonight

Working on her uncle’s farm that rainy day we met
Tryin’ to push my old Chevy covered in mud and soakin’ wet
She came flyin’ to my rescue in her Daddy’s pickup truck
Said, “If you had you some real wheels, boy you’d never have got stuck”
From that very first smile I was gone
It’s a simple little question, why’s it takin’ me so long

Repeat chorus

Bridge
I can see her walkin’ down the aisle
With her dad at her side
I can see her standin’ next to me
Happy teardrops in her eyes

Repeat chorus
