Memphis

It was Memphis, not Tennessee
You still weren't sure about me
I took your hand so carefully
Where nobody could see
I wasn't trying to play it slow
Truth be told I didn't know
How not to mess it up
Like every time before
And all the doubts inside my mind
Just like the ones I left behind
Were whispering
Boy you could have done a little more
We were on Broadway, not NYC
You still weren't sure about me
I took your hand delicately
Where nobody could see
I wasn't trying to play is soft
Truth be told I felt so lost
And wondered
If those whispers in my ear were right
But the question didn't last
Cause once I had you in my grasp
You held on, darling
You held on real tight
You held on tight
There's no more Memphis, just Tennessee
And now you're sure about me
I take your hand confidently
Where everyone can see
But will you but will you
Will you marry me?
