Most exciting thing in a young man's life
Is to ask the girl on his shoulder to be his wife
Basking in a haze of kisses and booze
On a green hilltop with nothing to lose
When she said yes he flew up so high
Passing the planes and birds that were flying by
Touching back down to lay by her side
Couldn't stay still no matter how he tried
Under these stars and the moon above
Under these stars we learn about love
Under these stars we dance and play
Under these stars we fade away
Some years later he is a family man
Taking nighttime drives whenever they can
Climbing that hill in the family car
Teaching his kids how small we are
Planting a tree with his first born son
On the old hilltop they all had some fun
Marking that trunk with a pocketknife
Keeping a record of a real good life
When the last days came she was first to go
He haunted that hill and made some flowers grow
Laying in the grass looking up in space
Wanting one more time just to see her face
