(A5)Grand ma and Grand pa paint ed a pic ture of (F#m7)six ty five years in one lit tle (E)house.

(D)More than a mem ’ry, more than say in’, “I do,” (E)kiss you good nights and I love you’s.

(A5)Me and you, ba by, we’ll walk in their foot steps, (F#m7)build our own fam ’ly one day at a (E)time.

(D)Ten lit tle toes, a paint ed pink room, our (E)beau ti ful ba by looks just like you.

And we’ll (A)build (E)this (Bm)love

Now till for ev er, it’s (D)all of me, all of you.

Just take my hand and (E)I’ll be the man your dad hoped that I’d be.

And we’ll (A)build (E)this (Bm)love

from the (F#m7)ground up, for worse or for bet ter, and (D)I will be all you need.

Be side you I’ll stand through the (E)good and the bad.

We’ll give all that we have and we’ll (D)build this love

from the ground

This life will go by in the blink of an eye, but I (F#m7)would n’t want to spend it with out you by my (E)side.
