I love you
You said that to me last time we met
I love you too
I responded back as I remembered

You said that to me last time we met
As we sat under the warm sun
I responded back as I remembered
With my heart as my guide

As we sat under the warm sun
You asked me to marry you and
With my heart as my guide
I said I would answer you at the end of our meet

You asked me to marry you and
Then we changed the subject because
I said I would answer you at the end of our meet
So for now let's just enjoy the sun

Then we changed the subject because
I knew my answer was yes
So for now let's just enjoy the sun
Since my answer will come at the end of our meet

I knew my answer was yes
As we sit here face to face again
Since my answer will come at the end of our meet
Alas, today a new day has dawned for us

As we sit here face to face again
I think of how you asked me to marry you
Alas, today a new day has dawned for us
So I ask you to marry me as

I think of how you asked me to marry you
And I said yes
So I ask you to marry me as
We sit under the sun

And I said yes
And you said yes as
We sit under the sun
Face to face again

And you said yes as
We sat under the sun
Face to face again
Pondering our future together while

We sat under the sun
While eating and thinking and
Pondering our future together while
We wonder aloud

While eating and thinking and
Talking about our pending marriage date
We wonder aloud
Whether or not my "approved" letter is in my box at home while

Talking about our pending marriage date
Before we size our ring fingers as we wonder
Whether or not my "approved" letter is in my box at home while
We sip our sodas under the sun

Before we size our ring fingers as we wonder
As we share our candy bar
We sip our sodas under the sun
Then take a few laps around the yard

As we share our candy bar
Then get up, stretch our legs
Then take a few laps around the yard
Before we measure our ring fingers

Then get up, stretch our legs
We walk and talk
Before we measure our ring fingers
Then continue walking a bit more after

We walk and talk
We size ourselves up
Then continue walking a bit more after
Discovering you're a size 9 and I'm a size 4

We size ourselves up
Go sit back on the bench under the blazing sun after
Discovering you're a size 9 and I'm a size 4
Which doesn't surprise either of us as we

Go sit back on the bench under the blazing sun after
We find out our ring sizes
Which doesn't surprise either of us as we
Place our hands palm to palm

We find out our ring sizes
As we continue talking and
Place our hands palm to palm
I respond back to you

As we continue talking and
I love you to
I respond back to you
I love you
