Lyrics

Good times on an autumn night...I see you and it's crush at first sight
From party games and "What's your name?" to trading numbers and dinner dates
And I could tell by the way you made me feel
This would be the start of something real

Summer came...we had to be apart...never knew anything could be that hard
On the phone for endless hours, saving love notes in mason jars
And when it seemed these days apart would never end
You said "I'd wait a million days to see you again."

They say patience is a virtue...we'll we've got that in droves
'Cause life's thrown some stones along our road
But we'll face them all together, love will light the way
Dreaming 'bout tomorrow while we're loving every minute of today

Remember when you asked to go steady...I had to tell you that I just wasn't ready
"October's never been kind to me; can we wait a little longer, please?"
Days passed, I didn't know if you'd wait around or if you'd go
First of November you're at my door
Saying, "The best things in life are worth waiting for."

Three more years of nights alone....still somehow our love would grow
Now I know whatever this life brings, our love can weather anything

Moonlight cruise, September night...you were waiting for the perfect time
Trembling hands, a shiny ring, a shaky voice and a bended knee
This time I didn't hesitate - I'd prayed so long for this day
One thing that I know now for sure
The best things in life are worth waiting for

Now the wait is over, it's been a perfect day
We walked down the aisle and said our vows
Now we'll build our home together, and see what comes our way
Dreaming 'bout tomorrow while we're loving every minute
Yeah, we're dreaming 'bout tomorrow while we're loving every minute of today
