The Bottle (I Do)

Your new husband loves you like I never could
The world, it stripped us of our innocence
Like December strips the color from the woods
I think of you from time to time when I am all alone
And I remember you at seventeen
The emerald fire in your eyes so heavenly

I don't think I should call you
But the bottle might argue
And change my mind
You might not recognize me
But you drew the lines in my smile
And when I think of you
I Do, I Do
I Do, I Do

I wouldn't call myself lonely, just reminiscent
And learning to swallow my pride
But I am longing for the time
Before the bills and nine-to-fives
When love was wheat-grass promise rings
And you would never leave each other's side

I don't think I should call you
But the bottle might argue
And change my mind
You might not recognize me
But you drew the lines in my smile
And when I think of you
I Do, I Do
I Do, I Do

I can't help but wonder
Do you remember the time
We found that empty patch of field
And we stared up at the sky
We made love like it wasn't just the middle of the day
And you weren't seventeen, and nothing ever had to change

Oh, I don't think I should call you
But the bottle might argue
And change my mind
You might not recognize me
But you drew the lines in my smile
And when I think of you
I Do, I Do
I Do, I Do
I Do, I Do
I Do, I Do
