Description

See you later Mom & Dad
I'm gonna meet the new guy at half past six
What's he like, oh he's a good one, Mama,
Tennessee-born and heaven-fixed
No he ain't got money
We'll grab dinner on a dime
Head out to the shore
We'll be back by nine
No plans as big as the sky
But I just know
Those blue eyes are gonna send me
Round the moon and back
That was a long time ago
I still think of you that way, just thought you ought to know
Those eyes still melt my heart away
We still ain't got no money, but love has stayed
And we are still home by nine
I still hate it when we run out of just-me-and-you time
I haven't changed my tune
I wanna see the boy in you
That sent me around the moon

Now here we lay now on a different beach
Takin it in, watchin our kids play
You roll over and you ask of me
Am I tired of life, have I forgot my way
You say I've lost my spark
Have my dreams gone cold
What happened to that guy
Back then, so big and bold
You don't care if I hung the moon
Just wanna go round and round
I'm here to reassure you babe
I'm still heaven-bound
We have a long way to go
We never really talk, but I still love you so
These eyes are shining so blue
I'm still that livin-on-a-dime-crazy-guy you knew
And yes we're still home by nine
We got kids to tuck in bed and prayers to be said
I hope you feel this too
Cause I'm that same boy who's
Gonna send you around the moon

The moon will be the emblem
For the passion of our love
If there's ever any doubt
We know the answer's found above
Just wait til after sunset
Raise your head up to the sky
Let the beams fall down upon your face
If you're ever asking why
[2nd chorus repeated, female on melody, male harmonizing]
We have a long way to go
We never really talk, but I still love you so
Those eyes are shining so blue
You're still that livin-on-a-dime-crazy-guy I knew
And yes we're still home by nine
We got kid s to tuck in bed and night-night prayers to be said
I know you feel this too
And I know you're the same boy who's
Sendin me around the moon
