Verse 1
G              C            G           C
Parked down on lover's leap steamin' up his old heap
G          C               D
two lovers stare up at the stars
G                C            G          C
somewhere in the lights below two houses all aglow
G                 C                   D
parents wonderin' where on earth they are
             Em         D        C                 Em      D      C
'cause their folks have tried to tell them this is way too serious

and while their mama's are waitin' up they're

Chorus
G        C       G        C       Em       D    C
Holdin', lovin', kissin', huggin' come whatever may they keep
G      C         G        C
Goin', dreamin', smilin', believin'

that nothin' matters like this love they're holdin'

Verse 2
G                    C            G                    C
A few years and some weddin' vows a quarter acre and a little white
house
G         C               D
more than they can well afford
          G                 C             G                C
and those easy payments are gettin' tough all the overtime ain't enough
G          C                D
still they couldn't ask for more
             Em            D            C        Em       D
C
'cause that 'ole hill that they've been climbin' might be gettin' steep
        Em         D       C
oh, but they don't seem to mind it they keep

Repeat Chorus

they know the most important lesson they can teach keep on

Repeat Chorus
