I looked into sweet Mary-Lou
She had the kindest eyes
The kind that could see through my lies
If I ever said I could no longer love you
She touched my palm with the tip of her finger and whispered
I wish you could longer for just a little longer
And keep me company
I wish we could grow older by each other's side
And everyday I'd kiss you goodnight
Wouldn't have to be afraid of goodbyes
Cause my sweet Mary-Lou where have you gone
I've finished your song
And I'm sorry it took so long
I'll show you the world I've found and what I have yet to see
I'll get down on one knee, yea
If it means you'll stay with me
Our eyes teared up as you looked to my right and you whispered
You'll miss your flight
I reply It will be alright cause one day I will return
Cause you love me just as I love you
In the distance it'll be just us two
But for now, for now just remember my tune
Cause my sweet Mary-Lou I won't be long
I can always write another song
My words will be steady and strong
We'll show the folks the world we've found
And what we have yet to see
It'll be you and me, yea
And our hearts will be rested and free
My sweet Mary-Lou
My sweet Mary-Lou
