[Intro] Yeah, yeah I said yes Thank God Almighty, I said yes ⸻ [Verse 1] Had your ring in your pocket and your heart on your sleeve Sunset burning gold, made it hard to breathe Your hands were shaking, I could feel ’em in mine Trying to say the words you’d practiced all night You looked at me with that nervous sweet smile The kind of look that makes forever worth the while Dropped down slow on one knee Said, “Girl, will you spend forever with me?” ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] The whole world stopped The wind went still My heart ran wild Like it always will You covered my fears With that brave, steady laughter And right there, baby I saw my ever after ⸻ [Chorus] So I said yes ’Cause you’re the love I’d prayed would find Got forever right beside me With your strong hand holding mine Church bells ringing I feel so blessed I’m smiling so big I can’t catch my breath You’re my rock, my safe warm chest My answered prayer, my very best You asked for forever And I said yes Yeah, I said yes ⸻ [Verse 2] Mama started crying when I made the call Said, “Baby girl, you finally got it all” My friends were screaming through the telephone While you spun me around on that old dirt road I love the way you love my crazy and calm The way you hold my heart like it’s made of porcelain and song I love your laugh, that worn-out truck The way a simple touch can lift me up ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] The stars came out Like a heavenly sign God smiled down On your heart and mine You kissed this girl With the moon overhead Still can’t believe You’re the man I get ⸻ [Chorus] So I said yes ’Cause you’re the one I won’t forget Got forever in your blue eyes And your silhouette Church bells ringing My soul at rest I’m laughing through tears In this cotton dress You’re my home when my heart’s a mess My steady flame, my truest friend You asked for forever And I said yes Yeah, I said yes ⸻ [Bridge] From our first dance to our last name shared From long nights to answered prayers I’ll be your shelter, I’ll hold your hand I’ll love you with everything I am When we’re old and gray on that porch out back I’ll trace these lines where our lives ran tracks One little word, one diamond ring Gave me every reason to love you endlessly ⸻ [Final Chorus] So I said yes ’Cause you’re the love I can’t deny Got forever in your laughter And that soft look in your eyes Church bells ringing My heart confessed I’m smiling so big I can’t catch my breath You’re my reason, my sweetest yes My answered prayer, my tenderness You asked for forever And I said yes Yeah, you asked for forever And I said yes Thank God Almighty I said yes ⸻ [Outro] I said yes Oh, I said yes Forever starts tonight ’Cause I said yes
