Rewind to the first day when I saw you in the crowd
Arrested by your eyes
No mistaking you were beautiful, you were captivating
You just took me by surprise

I pulled out my best, tried to impress you
Be the hero but you said, "Boy, don't try so hard"

A painted sunset against an autumn sky
You to wipe tears falling from my eye
Take my hand and listen to my heart
All I want is to start everyday with you

Fast forward to that summer when we first realized
We were headed for a vow
I was worried that somehow I had misread your signals
I can laugh about it now

I pulled out the stops, I made reservations
Put on a show and you said, "Boy, just ask me now"

A painted sunset against an autumn sky
You to wipe tears falling from my eye
Take my hand and listen to my heart
All I want is to start everyday with you

I am learning slowly but surely
Through the years
You don't want money or power or prestige
You just want me here

A painted sunset against an autumn sky
You to wipe tears falling from my eye
Take my hand and listen to my heart
All I want is to start everyday with you
