Lyrics: Patrick Thomas/Jennifer Denmark
Music: Patrick Thomas/Jennifer Denmark
Underneath a short sleeved tee there inked into my right arm
Carved into a live oak tree on a hill on your grandpa’s farm
On a gulf shore beach, drawn by hand
Made by a million grains of sand
On a clear night you can see ‘em written in the Southern stars
There’s some that last, some that fade
Some are only here until they wash away
There’s some things even words can’t say any better
“You + me” stained painted or carved
A dash and a date in a big ol’ heart
You can mark my words
I’m yours, you’re mine forever
It’s written in these love letters
I want to see them in script on the top of an invitation
A his and hers set all over that registration
Well they look so good there next to each other
But if all goes well this time next summer
We’ll be changing your initials with a champagne celebration
There’s some that last, some that fade
Some are only here until they wash away
There’s some things even words can’t say any better
“You + me” stained painted or carved
A dash and a date in a big ol’ heart
You can mark my words
I’m yours, you’re mine forever
It’s written in these love letters
I L-O-V-E Y-O-U forever
I L-O-V-E Y-O-U forever
I L-O-V-E Y-O-U forever
There’s some that last, some that fade
Some are only here until they wash away
There’s some things even words can’t say any better
“You + me” stained painted or carved
A dash and a date in a big ol’ heart
You can mark my words
I’m yours, you’re mine forever
It’s written in these love letters
I L-O-V-E Y-O-U forever
