Sad song about a marriage breakup told around a wooden sign

Lyrics

Established Nineteen Eighty Nine by Eric HessAc

Love at first sight, I didn't think that it was true
But in the spring of nineteen eighty nine we both said I do
As we strolled hand in hand on a honeymoon back east
We dreamed about the house we'd build and we bought the first piece
In a little tourist gift shop, we bought a painted wooden sign
Said, you and I forever, established nineteen eighty nine

We kicked off our new life, in that house that we had dreamed
On the day that we moved in we felt like a king and queen
In our little castle, we knew we couldn't fail
As we put up the last piece, with a hammer and a nail
On the front porch by the doorway, we hung a painted wooded sign
Said, you and I forever, established nineteen eighty nine

The years they passed, my hair turned grey as our family grew
But time had somehow built a wall between me and you
When the news it hit me, that you were finally gone
I cried and I pleaded, but forever was to long
Through the teardrops on the front porch, I saw a faded wooden sign
Said, you and I forever, established nineteen eighty nine.

A man came by the house today and put up his own sign
It said priced to sell, appliances and the kitchens just divine
On the front porch as he pulled away, I took down that faded sign
Said, you and I forever, established nineteen eighty nine
And I'll love you forever, established nineteen eighty nine
