Me and Shelley

Me and Shelly met when we were young

Fourteen summers beneath the sun

She was my anchor I was her spark

Running through life like kids in the park

Now we’re fifty-five and the years have flown

Different worlds but never alone

Still talk like kids with hearts so wild

Two old souls with a teenage smile

California called I packed my dreams

Shelly stayed where the cotton fields gleam

We built our lives raised families too

But our bond stayed strong like morning dew

Now we’re fifty-five and the years have flown

Different worlds but never alone

Still talk like kids with hearts so wild

Two old souls with a teenage smile

Time can’t erase the laughter we shared

The secrets told the moments we dared

Across the miles we stayed in tune

Our friendship shines like the silver moon

Now we’re fifty-five and the years have flown

Different worlds but never alone

Still talk like kids with hearts so wild

Two old souls with a teenage smile
