COUNTING DOWN THE DAYS
I pushed her on the swing
Until my arms were tired.
Pretty as a summer’s day
Sweet as any flower.
Just two more days of school
Then we’ll be free again.
To walk along the old dirt road
Where it all began… Yeah.
I’m counting down the days.
Yeah, I’m counting down the days…
Counting all the ways…
Counting on my love for you
To carry you away.
I’m counting on our dreams.
Oh, starting with these rings.
I’ll love you ‘til the very end
In so, so many ways.
Mmm… Counting down the days…
Summer seemed to last and last
I was working in the fields.
I didn’t get to see you much,
I was chasing ‘round that wheel.
But I had one thing on my mind
And it was sittin’ in the jewelry store.
Another week ‘til I pop the question
Another week before…
Yeah, I’m counting down the days…
Counting all the ways…
Counting on my love for you
To carry you away.
I’m counting on our dreams.
Oh, starting with these rings.
I’ll love you ‘til the very end
In so, so many ways.
Mmm… Counting down the days…
Life, it just goes by so fast
And the children are all gone.
But you’re still sitting next to me
And we’re back to on our own.
As we reminisce about
And the years, how they flew by.
Our son calls to tell us some beautiful news
There’ll be a baby in July…
And, we’re counting down the days…
Counting all the ways…
Counting on the love we shared
To carry them away.
We’ll be counting on our dreams.
Oh, it started with these rings.
I’ll love you ‘til the very end
In so, so many ways.
Counting down the days…
Yeah, I’m counting down the days…
Counting all the ways…
Counting on my love for you
To carry you away.
I’m counting on our dreams.
Oh, starting with these rings.
I’ll love you ‘til the very end
In so, so many ways.
Mmm… Counting down the days…
Mmm, mmm, counting down the days…
Mmm, mmm, counting down the days…
Mmm, mmm…
