Mom and Dad Love Story

Dedicated to my amazing parents, Scott and Laura...
(to the tune of Love Story by Taylor Swift)

We were both old when I first saw you
I saw your pic. on ldsplanet
you were Scott,
and I thought you were really hot.

you had eight kids you were single and lonely
I had five I was working two jobs
and never home.
This is what I know,

That you were forty-one I was thirty-six
And I was positive that we had really clicked
we were talking on the phone
And I never wanted to go!
And I said

Scott Willis, take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting, all we gotta do is go
to the temple and be sealed, yes,
its a love story
Baby, just say yes

Your name was Laura Lee and you lived in Florida
you said you were looking for Mr.Right
and I replied
"Mr.Right has more than one tyke"
Oh oh

Cause you were really grand I wished to get to know you,
And I was positive that we had really clicked
we were talking on the phone
and I never wanted to go!

And I said

Laura, I will take you somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting, all we gotta do is go
to the temple and be sealed, yes,
It's a love story
Baby, just say yes

Scott Willis tell me,
would it be ok to go,
to go and visit you and your kids
Don't be afraid, we'll bring our own car, yes,
It's a love story
Baby, just say yes!

Oh oh

I got tired of waiting
Wondering when Labor Day was coming around,
the calendar was aging....
When I drove right into your town
And I said

Scott Willis, take me
I never want to be alone,
He said he'd been waiting all I had to do was come,
I had butterflies
didn't know what to say
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring
And said

Marry me, Laura Lee, you'll never have to be alone
I love you and your kids already so,
lets drive to St.Louis
my mom made you a dress,
It's a love story
Baby, just say yes

Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh

'Cause we were both old when I first saw you
