It doesn't take a white dress
It doesn't take a fortress
Nobody needs a ring to fall in love
When I met you it was easy
And I held it like a secret
Until the day I couldn’t hide it anymore
I want to grow older I want to grow wiser
I want to grow flowers
In a house that's made of you
To sit and watch the sunset
And get some wrinkles on my forehead
I want to build fires in the house
That's made of you
It didn't take a long time to know
You were the green light
That night you grabbed my hand
As we were driving downtown fast
Your daddy had a big scare
Your mom was sitting right there
We cried as we watched them
Hold each other close
We can drive the kids to school
Read em stories from our bed
Kiss em on their little tiny foreheads
I want to lose touch
With what's hip and what's current
I want to go crazy in a house that's made of you
I want to grow older I want to grow wiser
I want to grow flowers
In a house that's made of you
To sit and watch the sunset
And get some wrinkles on my forehead
I want to build fires in the house
That's made of you
