Still Sixteen

By Vickie Russell and John Witter c2008

 

She still sees his long blond hair

Though it's mostly gray

If she wears that old tee shirt

He sees lingerie

When she pulls him near

His heart kicks into gear

The years fall away

Two kids at play

In their faded blue jeans

They're still sixteen

Still sixteen

 

She thinks he is always right

He thinks she's never wrong

Neither of them wins a fight

That's how they get along

His voice sounds the same

As the first time he said her name

She's still got that sway

That led him astray

In heir faded blue jeans

They're still sixteen

Still sixteen

 

People said when they first met

Wouldn't last too long

All these years with no regrets

Guess they proved them wrong

 

The water's still cold

At that same swimmin' hole

There's no one around

This far from town

As they slip off their jeans

They're still sixteen

Still sixteen
