open up and say ahhh (1st draft lyrics)

I remember when we first met,
I didn't know I was clueless and yet
Inside I was ready to learn and grow.

I looked at her eyes as she spoke
Started laughing in my heart, though it wasn't a joke
Her words full of fun and hints of where we could go.

And every time I tried to respond,
The words my  head chose came out all wrong
So I let my heart lead, and that's when

I opened up and said "Ahhhhh"
Ahhhhh! Ahhhhh! Ahhhhh!

I opened up and said "Ahhhhh"
Ahhhhh! Ahhhhh! Ahhhhh!

Pretty soon after that we were touchin hands
Just a simple thing, no big demands
Lettin the nervous fears fall to the ground

She would walk over there, and I'd stand near
Feel her presence, tryin to make it clear
Where I wanted to be without making a sound.

By the time we got to that first kiss
The vortex was spinning, it was more than bliss
But we got balance enough to lean in and then

We opened up and said "Ahhhhh"
Ahhhhh! Ahhhhh! Ahhhhh!

I opened up and said "Ahhhhh"
Ahhhhh! Ahhhhh! Ahhhhh!

Now every time she walks into the room
Sips my favorite  coffee or hands me a broom
Sits me down to tell me a thing or two

I understand the value of a friend
One who faithfully wounds until the end
Then heals it with kisses full of love's proof

I can't find words to describe this treasure
Even Alan Jackson's songs will never measure
Exactly what I'm saying when

I  open up and say "Ahhhhh"
Ahhhhh! Ahhhhh! Ahhhhh!

I opened up and say "Ahhhhh"
Ahhhhh! Ahhhhh! Ahhhhh!

I opened up and say "Ahhhhh"
Ahhhhh! Ahhhhh! Ahhhhh!

I say "ahhhhhh!"
