Forgive me for being so forward
I wrote a song for you
'Cause I need to ask you just four words
Oh, but before I do
Can I have a minute, two or three, oh
Crying makes the chorus hard for me
And it's just some simple notes and rhymes, oh
But I want it perfect, you'll see why
Forever is not enough time
Four years feels like four seconds went by
Forever I'll remember that night
Four words changed the rest of my life
You said, "Hello, how are you?" hmm
In that way you do
Well, fast forward four years and I've got four words for you too
Can I marry you?
Well, I'm not a fortune teller
But I had a dream last night
It was Christmas at Rockefeller
There was a girl wide-eyed, oh
She asked if she could hold our hands, oh
'Til she felt strong enough to stand
I know that it was just a dream
But one day the two of us could turn into three
And forever is not enough time
Four years feels like four seconds went by
And forever I'll remember that night
When four words changed the rest of my life
You said, "Baby, I love you" hmm
In that way that you do
Well, fast forward four years and I've got four words for you too
Can I marry you?
Oh, can I marry you?
Oh, can I marry you?
♪
One day when our hair is turning gray
And we're too weak to find the strength to say those three words
Well, you know I'll find a way
'Cause I love you and I'll love you 'til my dying day
Oh
Mmm
♪
Well, I think it's time for those four words
So don't mind if I do
Can I marry you?
