20 Years Together, He Still Gets To Me

When you are 18 there is nobody that can talk you out of getting married. They can never convince you that it can be a rough road merging two lives into one. That it's not always the warm fuzzies you are imagining it to be. So at 19 we set out on this road called "wedded bliss". It has been bumpy at times, smooth at others. We've fallen off the cliff a few times but made our way back on the road. We've grown up together. We've been through great times, sad times, quiet times, fun times, low times and high times, all which has grown and shaped us into the people we are today. God has blessed me with a man that has many wonderful qualities. We have nothing in common but enjoy each others company. I'm a complete screw up when it comes to finances, he could manage the national budget. He can hardly find his way home, I can get us anywhere. We are complete opposites but we compliment each other. I think that's how God designed marriage to be. Jerry, I'm glad to call you my best friend. Would I change some things?...yes, would I trade?...never. I'd still check Yes.




It started way back in third grade
I used to sit beside Emmy Lou Hayes
A pink dress, a matching bow in her ponytail
She kissed me on the school bus, but told me not to tell
Next day I chased her around the playground
Across the monkey bars to the merry-go-round
And Emmy Lou got caught passing me a note, before the teacher took it, I read what she wrote:

Do you love me, do you wanna be my friend?
And if you do, well then don't be afraid to take me by the hand, if you want to.
I think this is how love goes, check yes or no

Now we're grown up and she's my wife
Still like two kids with stars in our eyes
Ain't much changed I still chase Emmy Lou
Up and down the hall, around the bed in our room
Last night I took her out in a white limousine
Twenty years together she still gets to me
Can't believe it's been that long ago
When we got started with just a little note

Do you love me, do you wanna be my friend?
And if you do, well then don't be afraid to take me by the hand, if you want to.
I think this is how love goes, check yes or no.

Do you love me, do you wanna be my friend?
And if you do, well then don't be afraid to take me by the hand, if you want to.
I think this is how love goes, check yes or no.

Check yes or no
Check yes or no
Check yes or no
