Making Memories of Us - Song Lyrics

Written by country legend Rodney Crowell
It was written for his wife, singer Claudia Church, after his daughter phoned him one day to remind him that it was Valentine's Day
Originally recorded by Tracy Byrd for the album "The Truth About Men" in 2003
In 2004 Crowell himself recorded the song on the album "The Notorious Cherry Bombs"
Finally, in 2005, Australian country star Keith Urban recorded the song and took it to #1 on the country charts for five weeks
In 2005 Urban was named "Male Vocalist of the Year" as well as "Entertainer of the Year" at the Country Music Association (CMA) awards.
He was also named "Top Male Vocalist" by the Academy of Country Music
The song is a great first dance song at weddings, and for use at an Anniversary Party

I'm gonna be here for you baby
I'll be a man of my word
Speak the language in a voice that you have never heard
I wanna sleep with you forever
And I wanna die in your arms
In a cabin by a meadow where the wild bees swarm

And I'm gonna love you like nobody loves you
And I'll earn your trust making memories of us

I wanna honor your mother
I wanna learn from your pa
I wanna steal your attention like a bad outlaw
I wanna stand out in a crowd for you
A man among men
I wanna make your world better than it's ever been

And I'm gonna love you like nobody loves you
And I'll earn your trust making memories of us

We'll follow the rainbow
Wherever the four winds blow
And there'll be a new day
Comin' your way

I'm gonna be here for you from now on
This you know somehow
You've been stretched to the limits but it's alright now
And I'm gonna make you a promise
If there's life after this
I'm gonna be there to meet you with a warm, wet kiss

And I'm gonna love you like nobody loves you
And I'll earn your trust making memories of us
I'm gonna love you like nobody loves you
And I'll win your trust making memories of us
