Lyrics

Shreveport on a summer evening
Screen door is barely breathin'
Outside, the pavement's steamin' after a poundin' rain
She's in a rush gettin' supper ready
Second try at his mom's spaghetti
First time was a bust but he said he loved it anyway
He honks his horn, as he's pullin' into their drive
She's on that porch, waiting with a big ole smile

And they're so young, barely starting out
Learning what life's about
Writing their story one page at a time
So in love and so amazed
With the beautiful life they've made
What a beautiful life

They can't quit talking all through supper
Catching up with one another
A gentle kiss shows he loves her more than words can say
Later on in their tiny kitchen
They're cuttin' up and washin' dishes
And when she feels the baby kickin,' it takes her breath away
She grabs his hand and places it on her side
Then she laughs out loud, watching his eyes get wide

Oh, they're so young, just barely starting out
Learning what life's about
Writing their story one page at a time
So in love and so amazed
With the beautiful life they've made

They've got a second hand sofa and a brand new bassinet
There's so much they don't know, but they don't know that yet

They're so young, just barely starting out
Learning what life's about
Writing their story one page at a time
So in love and so amazed
With the beautiful life they've made
