Testo Bones

Chestnut hair and steel blue eyes
A light-up-the-room kinda smile
It was more than, "When you know, you know"
Yeah, girl, I felt in my bones
I asked your name, we talked all night
I blinked and two years flew right by
Down on one knee, praying you won't say, "No"
Yeah, shaking right down to my bones

Saying, "I'll love ya till the stars above you
Ain't shining in the sky no more"
Long as I'm livin', baby, I ain't quittin'
That's a love you can bet your life on
Yeah, I'll love ya till I'm six feet down in the ground
And the gold on my finger's wrapped around
Nothin' but bones

There's some things I'll never understand
How's an angel wind up with just a man?
You're a halo and a heart of gold
Yeah, baby, I'm just flesh and bones

Saying, "I'll love ya till the stars above you
Ain't shining in the sky no more"
Long as I'm livin', baby, I ain't quittin'
That's a love you can bet your life on
Yeah, I'll love ya till I'm six feet down in the ground
And the gold on my finger's wrapped around
Nothin' but bones
Whoa

Yeah, forever and ever, for worse or for better
Till the good Lord calls me home
Long as I'm breathing, you'll be all I'm needing
Baby, carve it in my headstone
I'll love ya till I'm six feet down in the ground
And the gold on my finger's wrapped around
Nothin' but bones
Yeah, nothin' but bones
