Sarah went back to school
Almost every single day
And believed the bus
Was just a waste of time
She had flowers in her hair
And songs in the air
And she danced a long way
And over time she
Pulled a messed-up path
And Tommy was a kid
He was fifth grade class
He had magic in his eyes
And he wrote Sarah's name
On his hand, he's a recess
Rockstar, bound to go real far
Take you by surprise
And he sang with
Sarah girl about his plan
He said, "Sarah don't you know
Someday it will be the 2 of us
Alone in this world, yeah
And the way I see it I might as well
Just ask you right now
Will you marry me, my Sarah girl?"
Sarah said, "Someday soon, yeah"
It was a run-and-done
A real hit-and-run
And Tommy left his home
He chose to chase his dreams
Down the side, yeah
And Sarah swore she'd follow him
No matter where he might go
And as he left she sang a lullaby
She sang, "Tommy don't you know
Someday it'll be the 2 of us
Alone in this world, yeah
And the way I see it I might as well
Just ask you right now
Don't you know I'll always be
Your Sarah girl?"
Tommy said, "Someday soon"
Well, 5 years passed
And the good times never last
And Tommy only thought of her
And the way Sarah and him
Were good as gold
Well, he fell in the bottle
And he went full throttle
Whenever her name was heard
How he prayed to go back
To them days of old
And Sarah left town without a sound
And no one knew she was gone
Only says she needs to see new faces
She's a CEO of some big-shot show
And she always wears a frown
When she thinks of all them
Old, familiar places
It was a sunny day from across the highway
And Tommy was frozen still
When he saw his Sarah girl
About to cross this street
A wing and a prayer, a breath of fresh air
And he finally knew it was real
And he ran to her and fell on his knees
He sang, "Sarah I don't know
If you'll remember me, but
You've always been my world, yeah
And the way I see it, I might as well
Just ask you right now
Will you marry me, my Sarah girl?"
And she said, "Yeah," she said, "yeah"
