Saw him coming from the upstairs room 
 his headlights shined like the moon 
 I smile 
 He never makes me wait 
    Twelve roses like the clock reads noon 
 This Cinderella dances to the tune 
 oh while 
 there's no time to waste   
 So can we just slow down 
 while you make this mistake 
 just slow down 
 so my heart don't break   
 It's like you're 
 flying through the sky in a big airliner 
 looking at me with those dark brown eyes 
 you say 
 I'll be forever yours 
 coming undone and my seams unravel 
 you know that I love you but my heart won't travel 
 but I'll still be yours     
 Sitting in his car and it's two a.m. 
 he's holding me like this will never end 
 I try, I try to hide my tears 
 Quarter to three and he's got to leave 
 a last goodbye and a kiss on my cheek I 
 won't forget these years   
 So can we just slow down 
 while you make this mistake 
 just slow down 
 so my heart don't break   
 It's like your 
 flying through the sky in a big airliner 
 looking at me with those dark brown eyes 
 you say 
 I'll be forever yours 
 coming undone and my seams unravel 
 you know that I love you but my heart won't travel 
 but I'll still be yours   
 The seventeenth came way too soon 
 now I'm staring at this empty room 
 he said 
 I'll be forever yours
