[Intro]
I saw this older couple holding hands and walking down the street the other day. This is their story which is probably wrong cuz I don't know them
I didn't know when it was coming in
[Verse 1]
He was on the football team
The worst thing you ever seen, he was like 5th string
But with all the time on the sidelines, kept his sights high
Georgianna, black hair with the bright eyes
Oh how the light shines on her in the nighttime
He knew what to say but didn't know the right time
And the team lost 3-0
He's dreaming up scenarios in which he was the hеro
The game winning drive, lеt it fly, it's a touchdown
And hand in hand they walk away into the uptown
But it's back to life now, back to reality
To the return of the monotonous normality
He heads to the car, been a long night
And on the drive home he thinks of what it would be like
If he could show up to prom with Georgianna by his side
While The Beach Boys sing Wouldn't It Be Nice
[Chorus]
And he recalls all the memories
Walking down the street in her arms where he's meant to be
This love will last for centuries
Through rainy days, changing ways got the remedy
He said "You were sent to me
Standing high and walking by all the enemies
And every time I hear your last name
I just thank God mine's the same
You are indelible."
[Verse 2]
And she would root for the guys
But it wasn't for the team cuz they'd lose every time
And she saw his looks, eyes like the beautiful sky
With his unruly brown hair he would use it to hide
The team lost, 8-3 was the final score
But her brain's on a plane, get a ticket, climb aboard
They win the game and advance, George runs in the stands
Grabs her hand, sends a chill down her spinal cord
But it's back to life now, back to reality
And there to greet her is that same old mentality
She hangs around for a bit after the game
Hoping that today's the day that he'll come walking her way
And as she goes to her car with her head down
Something in the background made her stop and turn around
And there he was alone in the night
Lit up by the headlights singing Wouldn't It Be Nice
[Chorus]
And she recalls all the memories
Walking down the street in his arms where she's meant to be
This love will last for centuries
Through rainy days, changing ways got the remedy
She said "You were sent to me
Standing high, walking by all the enemies
And every time I hear your last name
I just thank God mine's the same
You are indelible."
[Verse 3]
50 years to many cheers
Through laughter and pain and through many tears
A nice grandson who's turning twenty years
Through many fears they're still here
And that beautiful day back in June 68
It can never be replaced, go to waste, it's embraced
And encased in his mind is her skin so divine
And her eyes, how they shine all the time, intertwined
Is their delicate soul, their story is told
From high school kids and now they're growing old
And they take long walks all through the city now
Singing Wouldn't It Be Nice only when it's pretty out
And the wind blows through their gray hair
If they could live in this moment they would wanna stay there
With some handholding and some sidewalk skipping
She says "I'm yours til my time stops ticking."
[Chorus]
And they recall all the memories
Walking down the street holding hands where they're meant to be
This love will last for centuries
Through rainy days, changing ways got the remedy
They said "You were sent to me
Standing high and walking by all the enemies
And every time I hear your last name
I just thank God mine's the same
You are indelible."
They said "You were sent to me
Standing high and walking by all the enemies
And every time I hear your last name
I just thank God mine's the same
You are indelible."
They said "You were sent to me
Standing high and walking by all the enemies
And every time I hear your last name
I just thank God mine's the same
You are indelible."
