Debut (October 24, 2006)

• Mary’s Song -

  She said, I was seven and you were nine

  I looked at you like the stars that shined

  In the sky, the pretty lights

  And our daddies used to joke about the two of us

  Growing up and falling in love and our mamas smiled

  And rolled their eyes and said, "Oh my my my"

  Take me back to the house in the backyard tree

  Said you'd beat me up, you were bigger than me

  You never did, you never did

  Take me back when our world was one block wide

  I dared you to kiss me and ran when you tried

  Just two kids, you and I

  Oh my my my my

Speak Now (October 25, 2010)

• Never Grow Up:

  • Your little hand's wrapped around my finger

    And it's so quiet in the world tonight

    Your little eyelids flutter 'cause you're dreaming

    So I tuck you in, turn on your favorite night light

    To you everything's funny, you got nothing to regret

    I'd give all I have, honey

    If you could stay like that

    Oh darling, don't you ever grow up

    Don't you ever grow up, just stay this little

  • Take pictures in your mind of your childhood room
