My Redheaded Angel

It was the end of December, We were gathered for a friend, watching tears roll from his eye.

You were standing by your sedan, just outside the house light,

And I couldn't help but notice you, shining in the cold, clear night.

Later on, back in the bedroom, I wasn't mad, just surprised,

When you stole my favorite hat, right there before my eyes.

We laid side-by-side, sharing used trucks on a tiny screen, moving too fast.

You had the fire and the attitude, and I knew that first look was gonna last.

It was simple, it was deep, it was exactly where we needed to be,

Just two souls finding solace, you were already everything to me.

Then one night, the clouds opened up, pouring down fast and hard...

We were out in that downpour, the wipers barely clearing the view.

Started dancing in the headlights, soaked right down to the shoe.

That parking lot pavement, that's where we stole our first kiss, girl,

Now every time it rains, I remember how you shook up my whole world.

Yeah, it's our spot, where the city lights gleam, three years of memories made.

You’re my Redheaded Angel, forever my favorite thing.

I'm working extra hard now, saving every single dime,

I got a ring for that finger, a stone that truly stands the test of time.

They say you gotta have a diamond, but your fire needs something rare,

So I got you an Opal, girl, one that catches every single glare.

January the second, yeah, that's our big three-year mark,

Got the blueprints ready for the outskirts of town,

Gotta get you that quiet acreage, with a porch swing going 'round.

We were out in that downpour, the wipers barely clearing the view.

Started dancing in the headlights, where I first felt your grace.

That parking lot pavement, that memory will never get old,

Now I'm ready to walk you down the aisle, and make the future bold.

Yeah, it's our spot, where we started our journey, a promise I wanna keep.

You’re my Redheaded Angel, giving my tired soul the sleep.

I look at that fire in your hair, and those blue-green eyes,

The future is clear, baby, under those wide-open skies.

By 2027, we'll have a couple tiny hats and boots by the door,

A little piece of forever, you and me, and so much more.

We were out in that downpour, the wipers barely clearing the view.

But I always saw forever, standing right there next to you.

That parking lot pavement, thank God for that cold winter night,

'Cause you flipped the switch on my whole life, and filled it up with light.

Yeah, it's our spot, and right now I wanna make it stick,

You’re my Redheaded Angel, my one and only pick.

Yeah, the rain still falls... but I got you to dance with...

You’re my Redheaded Angel
