Lyrics

Under the old oak where the fireflies dance
I saw your laughter light up the dark
Your hand in mine like a quiet promise
Two wandering souls now beating as one heart
The world kept spinning but time stood still
When your eyes met mine and the heavens willed
Every scar I carried, every road I walked alone
Led me right here, right where you belong

Marry me, my love, under violet skies
Let me be your shelter when the cold wind cries
I'll hold you through the storms, through the joy and the pain
Write our forever on this ring of gold again
With these violin strings pulling at your soul
And piano notes like prayers we can't control
Say yes, my darling, forever starts tonight
Forever starts tonight

We've chased the sunrise from Chicago streets
Danced in the kitchen to our favorite slow beat
Your strength amazes me, a heart so wild and free
Yet you chose to build a home right here with me
Through every doubt and every silent fear
Your love whispered, "Darling, I'm still here"
All the years before you were just a prelude song
Now the real song begins with you, my only one

Marry me, my love, under violet skies
Let me be your harbor when the wild waves rise
I'll cherish every morning, every whispered goodnight
Turn our story into pure and endless light
With these violin strings pulling at your soul
And piano notes like tears we both let go
Say yes, my darling, forever starts tonight

I don't need perfect, I just need you
The way you see the good in everything I do
If tomorrow brings rain or the years turn gray
I'll still choose you every single day
Tears may fall but they're the sweetest kind
The kind that say our hearts are intertwined

Marry me, my forever, let the whole world see
How one man's soul was saved by your love for me
I'll be your rock, your fire, your softest place to land
Walk this life together, hand in weathered hand
With these violin strings crying out our truth
And piano keys painting our eternal youth
Say yes, my darling, I'm down on my knees
Forever starts tonight with you
