Katherine turned 16, ‘round 4th of July,

she remembers it clearly in the bright northern sky,

her thoughts keep growing all the while,

trying to imagine whom she didn't know



10 years later it would happen again,

right around her birthday, just pennies to spend.

Chicago in the summertime, we'll walk by the lake,

suddenly her thoughts stopped, it was no mistake

there was nothing I could do, I've been waiting for you



chorus

its all about this beautiful girl,

champagne toast, lets give it a whirl.

its all about this beautiful girl,

and I can't wait.



I know she loves me, by the touch of her hand

forever this moment, and all that we've planned.

a chain made of paper subtracting the days, yeah,

how do I love thee, this is all I'll say.

nothing can capture the light in your eye

its hard to believe, but no matter how I try



chorus



bridge

I can't wait to find a little more this time,

too clear my thoughts and to tell me why.

no matter what I say, no matter what I do,

your going to be the one



Katherine turned 16 in the blink of an eye,

seems like forever and she’s wondering why

the moment of romance...it will never leave me

for time never passes by



chorus
