"Original" Solo Version


VERSE 1.
Twenty years ago
She was part of a crowd
Standing across the room
But, soon everyone there disappeared
It wasn't love at first sight
"Cause he had to look twice
He could not believe his eyes
He swears he saw a glow
Surrounding her every feature and every move
So, he got up the nerve
And he took a chance
To approached that vision, dream of a woman
And asked her for the next dance
Twenty years ago

Chorus
And as they held each other they barely moved
And the room began spinning just to prove
They were meant to fall in love
Twenty years ago

VERSE 2.
At a baseball game
Out in the bleachers
He pulled a diamond from out of his shirt
And he asked her if she could love him forever
She said, "I'll need some time"
Then she turned away
But she spun around and smiled
And he heard her say, "That's all the time I will need"
Twenty years ago

Chorus
And as they held each other they barely moved
And the stadium was spinning just to prove
They were meant to fall in love
Twenty years ago

Bridge
Now their children are grown
And almost gone
And soon they'll be together
In their home alone
It feels like yesterday that they first met
And along the way they've learned how good love can get

Chorus
And as they hold each other they barely move
And their world keeps spinning just to prove
They were meant to fall in love
Twenty years ago
Twenty years ago
