With a Kiss

Writer(s): Eli Johnston, Kevin McKinnon, Josh Swift

Verse 1:
We shook hands and made that bet
Sitting there in my souped-up corvette
I had never even kissed a girl
and you were my best friend
It was a night I'll never forget
Staring up at that Tennessee sunset
I heard you whisper what the heck
and then we both leaned in
Verse 2:
Standing there with my knees knocking
And a pawn shop ring in my pocket
With four words beating in my chest
I got down on one knee
I got the blessing from your father
We joined hand and hand at the alter
The preacher said you may kiss the bride
And then we both leaned in
Chorus:
Sometimes I close my eyes
And let it all sink in
You took a gamble girl
And changed my world with a kiss
Verse 3:
Sitting in our new front porch swing
With daddy's hand on mommy's tummy
Every kick can make you smile
Then that day arrived
You squeezed my hand a little bit harder
Just before we met our daughter
The doctor laid her in your arms
And then we both leaned in
Chorus:
Now she's a daddy girl
With her mama's golden curls
We sing her lullabies
and end each night with a kiss
Verse 4:
Of all the years we've put behind us
This last one hasn't been our finest
The doctor has some bad news
Oh, the cancers back again
So, sitting in our classic corvette
Staring up at that Tennessee sunset
I took your hand and said goodbye
And then we both leaned in
Chorus:
Sometimes I close my eyes
And let it all sink in
You took a gamble girl
And changed my world with a kiss
