You were wearing that black dress, coat, and cowboy boots He was there but I didn't care, too busy staring at you In the pouring rain with the blue Lights flashing in the hills of Appalachian Close to tears with makeup smeared, I asked her what had happened
But I know she ain't ready, she won't be for a while And he broke her down and when I'm around, I can see it in her smile She's fighting getting closer, it's just too plain to see And I know she ain't ready, but that's alright with me
You wearing that red dress, pearls, and those high heels Like the way it made you look, you love the way it made you feel So I said to you, I'd sure love to do this again And you said, me too, but I'm just not over him
And I know she ain't ready, she won't be for a while And he broke her down and when I'm around, I can see it in her smile She's fighting getting closer, it's just too plain to see And I know she ain't ready, but that's alright with me
She started calling me baby And two years laterM I was down on one knee With a ring in hand, I said, "I'm your man and girl, will you marry me?"
She said, "You know that I'm ready, and I have been for a while When the bells sound and you turn around I'll be walking down the aisle" This will only bring us closer, it's just too plain to see And I know that we're ready, so that's alright with me
