• I remember the moment,
    I’ll never forget it.
    Even after what’s happened
    I’ll never regret it.

    A mutual friend’s birthday party
    I showed up to it pretty late
    Clothes wrinkled and hair a mess
    Didn’t bother to try and find a date

    Drink in hand
    Sitting on the stairs
    You took a seat beside me there.

    I didn’t notice right away
    Didn’t look up till I heard you say,
    “I love this song. C’mon lets dance!”
    You leapt to a determined stance.

    Next thing I knew you pulled me up,
    Almost made me spill my cup
    Cleared a path
    Pushed guests aside
    Dragged me along for the ride

    I watched you there, careless and free
    And somehow you’d put life in me.
    We stayed there dancing for a while
    I didn’t know it, till I saw your smile.

    The sight enraptured, captured me.
    Opened my eyes, helped me see.

    Fast forward ten months
    Now we’ve got a place.
    I wake each morning
    Just to see your face.

    I didn’t know life could be this way.
    A dreamy bliss through every day

    Now three months forward, you and me
    I hold a box, down on one knee.

    The stars and moon are out witness.
    Our audience in the night sky
    My arms around you and we kiss
    You smile at me tears in your eyes.

    The next two months
    We set the date
    Made some plans
    And chose a place

    I went to get the invitations
    I didn’t see the indications
    As I drove dark clouds were forming
    And that night it would be storming.

    But everything was going great.
    I thought, “Could I want more?”
    Until I walked into the room
    And found you lying on the floor.
