Lyrics and translation
Original
Chestnut hair and steel blue eyes
A light-up-the-room kinda smile
It was more than, "When you know, you know"
Yeah, girl, I felt it in my bones
I asked your name, we talked all night
I blinked and two years flew right by
Down on one knee, praying you won't say, "No"
Yeah, shaking right down to my bones
Saying, "I'll love ya 'til the stars above you ain't shining in the sky no more"
Long as I'm livin', baby, I ain't quittin'
That's a love you can bet your life on
Yeah, I'll love ya 'til I'm six feet down in the ground
And the gold on my finger's wrapped around
Nothin' but bones
There're some things I'll never understand
How's an angel wind up with just a man?
You're a halo and a heart of gold
Yeah, baby, I'm just flesh and bones
Saying, "I'll love ya 'til the stars above you ain't shining in the sky no more"
Long as I'm livin', baby, I ain't quittin'
That's a love you can bet your life on
Yeah, I'll love ya 'til I'm six feet down in the ground
And the gold on my finger's wrapped around
Nothin' but bones
Whoa
Yeah, forever and ever, for worse or for better
'Til the good Lord calls me home
Long as I'm breathing, you'll be all I'm needing
Baby, carve it in my headstone
I'll love ya 'til I'm six feet down in the ground
And the gold on my finger's wrapped around
Nothin' but bones
Yeah, nothin' but bones
