The proposal

put their favorite tape into the 8 track nervous as could be
'67' Mustang never sounded smoother as he turned the key
resting her head on his shoulder, life couldn't get any better
speakers thumping to the Box Tops belting out "The Letter"

going steady for two years now, he'd fallen head over heels
a ring hidden in his pocket he was wondering how she feels
in his head practicing the proposal, his heart began to race
she sang to the music as he pulled up to their favorite place

two teens stroll in silence along the shores of Crystal lake
on one knee he takes her hand, his voice begins to shake
he says the words "Marry me", those butterflies disappear
"yes" quickly escapes her mouth, this was music to his ear

today unplugging his life support he lay there with a smile
his children all by his side, his wife had been gone awhile
body old and worn out, his spirit traveled to the year 1968
replaying this special moment before entering Heaven's gate

"put their favorite tape into the 8 track nervous as could be
