Story Behind The Song

For my wife, always. You know I love you.

Lyrics

Shout It Out Loud © Kurt Griesemer

20 years ago you know it seems like yesterday
when I saw you on the beach you were walking my way
Looking back through all the years at the good times and the bad
At some dreams that never happened at some dreams we've always had
I'm reminded every time I see your face in the crowd
I wanna Shout it loud, I wanna shout it out loud, you know I love you.
--
You would be a famous artist and I'd be a folk rock star
We can look back now and laugh but sometimes it was so hard
As we'd sit down at the table with no money to be had
And you're never really ready, to be called mom and dad but you know I love you
Yes I do, yes I do...
--
And that's all that really matters as we're stepping through time
Put your head upon my shoulder and I'll hold your hand in mine
You know that I was the one for you but it took me a little while
Not really so much longer and every day I need your smile because I love you
Yes I do, Yes I do...

Our songs not over yet there's o much more to do
Paintings you're still dreaming of, and music clear and true
And as we feed the children's dreams and they start to dance and sing
Makes me thankful everyday that you wear my wedding ring
--
Nothing's ever perfect and sometimes it hurts like hell
Oh when your not talking to me and all I do is yell
And the kids they make us crazy it's so hard to get away
But I look at you and laugh cause we can take it day by day

So put your arms around me baby and we'll do that thing we do
And we'll shout it out loud, yes we'll shout it out lout
So put your arms around me baby and we'll do that thing we do
Cause when I wake up in the morning I'kll be waking up with you because I love you
Yes I do, yes I do, I really do, do ,do.

I want to shout it out loud, shout it out loud, shout it out loud, shout it out loud,!
You know I love you! You know I love you! You know I do! DO! DO! DO! DO-DO! (Repeat, end)
