We grabbed our clothes

Watched a beautiful sunrise

And it was then and there I realized that
(Chorus)

I don't want to wait even one more night

Bought a little white house with a picket fence and cable

To become a Mom and Daddy
And then I found my answer in his eyes
And he said,

I don't want to wait even one more night

'Til she says...
