Making Memories of Us

(Rodney Crowell)



I'm gonna be here for you baby, I'll be a man of my word

Speak the language in a voice that you have never heard

I want to sleep with you forever, and I want to die in your arms

In a cabin by a meadow where the wild bees swarm.



And I'm gonna love you

Like nobody loves you

And I'll earn your trust makin' mem'ries of us.



I want to honor your mother, and I want to learn from your pa

I want to steal your attention like a bad outlaw

And I want to stand out in a crowd for you, a man among men

I want to make your world better than it's ever been, (mmm.)



And I'm gonna love you

Like nobody loves you

And I'll earn your trust making memories of us.



We'll follow the rainbow

Wherever the four winds blow

And there'll be a new day

Comin' your way.



I'm gonna be here for you from now on

This you'll know somehow

You've been stretched to the limits but it's alright now

And I'm gonna make you a promise

If there's life after this

I'm gonna be there to meet you with a warm, wet kiss.

(Yes I am, mmm.)



And I'm gonna love you

Like nobody loves you

And I'll earn your trust making memories of us



And I'm gonna love you

Like nobody loves you

And I'll win your trust making memories of us...
