Katherine turned 16, ˜round 4th of July,
she remembers it clearly in the bright northern sky,
her thoughts keep growing all the while,
trying to imagine whom she didn't know

10 years later it would happen again,
right around her birthday, just pennies to spend.
Chicago in the summertime, we'll walk by the lake,
suddenly her thoughts stopped, it was no mistake
there was nothing I could do, I've been waiting for you

chorus
its all about this beautiful girl,
champagne toast, lets give it a whirl.
its all about this beautiful girl,
and I can't wait.

I know she loves me, by the touch of her hand
forever this moment, and all that we've planned.
a chain made of paper subtracting the days, yeah,
how do I love thee, this is all I'll say.
nothing can capture the light in your eye
its hard to believe, but no matter how I try

chorus

bridge
I can't wait to find a little northern sky,
too clear my thoughts and to tell me why.
no matter what I say, no matter what I do,
your going to be the one

Katherine turned 16 in the blink of an eye,
seems like forever and she's wondering why
the moment of romance...it will never leave me
for time never passes by

chorus
