Since we were Fifteen

Title: Since We Were Fifteen [Verse 1] We were just fifteen and the world unseen Junior High halls and in-between In Boiling Springs where time moved slow Same old school where our feel inlove Passing notes and shy goodbyes Laughing under Carolina skies Who would’ve known what fate would bring From hallway crush to wedding rings [Verse 2] You took me out to the picture show Bought my dinner, walked me home slow Front porch light and a slow sweet kiss I didn’t know love could feel like this You held my hand, you held my heart We swore we’d never be apart In your dad’s truck, brave and bold You taught me how to shift and roll [Pre-Chorus] Grinding gears on a backroad hill You said, “Clutch slow now… feel it still” I stalled it out, we laughed all night Two kids leaning into life [Chorus] Since we were fifteen, side by side Through every low and every high From small-town dreams to vows we made You’ve been my shelter, been my safe Thirty years and here we stand I still fit perfect in your hand All this time, it’s always been Me and you… since we were fifteen [Verse 3] Cold December, 2005 We said forever and meant for life Snow in the air, love burning bright Married on that winter night Reception hall, the lights went black Power out — imagine that Funny thing for a lineman’s bride We danced by candlelight [Verse 4] Then Monroe came in ’09 Heaven’s gift, our sweetest sign Tiny fingers wrapped in mine Our biggest blessing, pure divine We’ve known sorrow, quiet and deep Two little angels we couldn’t keep And when we lost our fathers, too You were each other's strength that pulled us through [Pre-Chorus] Through every tear and every ache Every promise we would not break You were the rock I leaned upon You were my steady when hope felt gone [Chorus] Since we were fifteen, side by side Through every low and every high From empty rooms to nursery walls You held me when the teardrops fell We built this life with working hands Brick by brick and dream by plan All this time, it’s always been Me and you… since we were fifteen [Bridge] Long days, late nights, overtime Sacrifice and faith and time A beautiful home and a stronger us Made of laughter, tears, and trust Thirty years, and I still see That same young boy looking at me [Final Chorus] Since we were fifteen, hearts on fire Growing up but never tired From junior high to silver years Through all the joy and all the tears If I could choose my life again I’d start right there where we began Boiling Springs and a hallway grin And love you all over… since we were fifteen [Outro] Front porch light still shining bright You still kiss me every night And after all these years between You’re still my boy from fifteen.
