say when

i remember the day i knew,

i only wanted to be with you.

i asked heaven to speed up time,

so i could be yours and you could be mine.

the day came and you walked out in that dress

the world stopped and i had to catch my breath

they asked, are you two ready?

you smiled and nodded.

i said “say when”.

you said yes.

i said, say when.

yesterday is for the memories,

tomorrow for the hopes, the dreams

and everything in between.

today is for exactly where i wanna be.

it’s you. It’s me. girl, trust.

you say when, and i'll say us.

another day running everywhere,

just to end up right back here.

kids busier than we ever were.

we sit at the games and cheer.

organized chaos, it’s a beautiful mess.

then watching them sleep, it’s worth the stress.

hitting the pillows and planning the next day.

‘are we ready?’ you smile and say.

i say, ‘say when’

say when

yesterday is for the memories,

tomorrow for the hopes and the dreams

everything in between.

today is for exactly where i wanna be.

it’s you. It’s me. girl, trust.

you say when, and i'll say us.

you say when, and i'll say us.

life isn’t perfect. sometimes it’s heavy.

like adversity’s dam went and broke the levy.

but when it’s hardest i reach for your hand.

cause it’s one thing we both understand.

there’s no such thing as a rain that’s lasts forever

the sun brings back its light, when it’s you and me together.

girl, there’s nothin better…

say when.

baby say when.

yesterday is for the memories,

tomorrow for the hopes and the dreams

everything in between.

today is for exactly where i wanna be.

it’s you. It’s me. girl, trust.

you say when, and i'll say us.

you say when, and i’ll say us.
