Mr. C is not a big dancer, not at all. I, on the other hand, love to dance. I was set on having a first dance - nothing fancy, but I made sure he understood how important it was to me that we have that dance and those memories.
Whenever anyone used to needle Mr. C about when he was going to get on the stick and propose already, he would say "just as soon as I get back from Cincinnati." And when the person would get excited and say "Oh yeah? When are you going to Cincinnati?!" he would respond "No plans!" So - when I was going through possible songs for our first dance, I was having a hard time choosing one that seemed right. Mr. C listened to a few of them, thought for a minute, and then suggested a song by Drew Kennedy called, appropriately enough, "Cincinnati." A beautiful song, with a bit of an inside joke folded in. Perfect.
A riverboat in Cincinnati, we were
Having fun, you smiled at me by the water's edge
before we went to bed
The city lights along the river made me
Promise things, hope I deliver in another year
was it me or the beer
I don't know what you do to me
but every once in a while
I guess it's something that I can't see
hiding in your smile
California and Mexico
I've been to Houston too
Never thought that I would ever fall in love with you
Took a walk along the levee and we
told ourselves we would get ready in a little while
it was only a mile
To the church for the ceremony
I held the door for almost everybody and watched you laugh
behind the camera's glass
From Colorado I got a call
I guess it snowed again
I don't know how those two survived at all
but I'm glad that they're my friends
California and Mexico
I've been to Houston too
Never thought that I would ever fall in love with you
Eight hours home on the interstate
I'm not alone but you can hardly even stay awake
as my headlights shake
I watch you sleep, I watch the road ahead
I watch you dream, I wish that I could lay you down in bed
but we're not home yet
I don't know what you do to me
but every once in a while
I guess it's something that I can't see
hiding in your smile
California and Mexico
I've been to Houston too
Never thought that I would ever fall in love with you
