I wrote 11 years the night before my 11th wedding anniversary as a gift to my crazy husband. And then he helped write a really cool bridge that tied it all together perfectly. It was the first song that we completed together. And really the first love song that I had ever seen to completion. You may wonder why it took me 11 years to be able to do that? Well, we were busy throwing things at each other.
lyrics
Yesterday we threw things at each other
Yet to discover our
True love, true love
Yesterday we were barely just lovers
Yet to discover true love
And I don’t know how long it takes
To figure out this thing
But I know I will keep on trying to fit into this ring
Today we’re standing her staring at 11 years
Wondering if we’ve found
True love, true love
And I don’t know ‘bout you
But when I look at you
I know I’ve discovered true love
And I don’t know how long it takes
To figure out this thing
But I know I will keep on trying to fit into this ring
Oh I will wait for you
Don’t you run and hide
Oh baby will you wait for me
Time is on our side
Oh will you wait for me
Don’t you run and hide
Oh baby I will wait for you
Time is on our side
Yesterday we threw things at each other
Yet to discover our
True love, true love
Today we’re standing here staring at 11 years
Knowing we have finally found love
