Songtekst

Walking along by the moss-covered river rocks
By the tree where the old tire hangs
I looked down in the gleaming August sun
And saw the footprints of a memory, and my heart sang

Cary Lynn, Cary Lynn Javes
Do you remember us sitting in the shade?
I gave you a hop toad in a sack
You gave me a flat frog back

Standing here by this cracked, white water fountain
I can remember when it was new
You used to wonder where the water was coming from
That is until I met you

Cary Lynn, Cary Lynn Javes
I used to think you were the dumbest person ever made
I told you the pipes were running underground
You laughed and said: "See you around"

Flying high on a silver stratted ferris wheel
Taking in the Ogalalla County fair
I looked up at the stars that I was closer to
And thanked the wind for running fingers through my hair

Cary Lynn, Cary Lynn Javes
Do you remember us in the fair parade?
I gave you a kiss behind the wagon rack
You gave me two kisses back

I'm getting older as all folks do
I'm thinking back; I'm thinking of you
At my table, my family sits waiting
Today's my birthday and we're all celebrating

Cary Lynn, Cary Lynn Javes
I bet you never guessed the wish I made
You used to tell me birthday wishes came true
But then you said that you loved me too
