The Heartbeat Stutters Too

[Verse] In a small town by the river's edge, L-lost my heart in a willow's pledge. Her e-eyes, they spoke, but I couldn’t reply, Words stuck on my tongue as the days went by. [Verse 2] M-my old truck’s been missing her hand, Drives m-me crazy just to understand. Every p-pothole on this winding road, Reminds me of a l-love that's been sowed. [Chorus] Even if my w-words come out slow, My heart beats for you, just so you know. When the w-wind sings through the fields of gold, I'll l-love you more, 'til we're gray and old. [Verse 3] B-beneath the stars, the farm lights low, I'd st-stumble through the words, trying to show. Your l-laughter like the sweetest song, Helped me find the strength to carry on. [Verse 4] N-now the barn waits in the evening hue, P-promises made under skies so blue. Someday soon I’ll say it right, 'Til then I’ll keep holding you tight. [Chorus] Even if my w-words come out slow, My heart beats for you, just so you know. When the w-wind sings through the fields of gold, I'll l-love you more, 'til we're gray and old.
