Samantha

I remember the first time you stepped in my view

You were beautiful instantly, shining and true

Twenty-five years of a friendship we built from the start

But if I'm keeping it real, I only wanted your heart

Take it back to the days in my red Honda Civic

Windows rolled down, yeah, the memory's vivid

Smoking and cruising through Hammonasset State Park

Just talking for hours 'til the daylight went dark

It’s the way that you look at me, deep in my soul

Every hug that you gave me, the butterflies stole

Even when you look rough, you’re a beautiful sight

I only wanted your heart when the timing was right

And I don't care if you hate me in every way

Samantha, I love you still, at the end of the day

Think back to the random adventures we took

Writing our history, page after page in the book

Drove up to Massachusetts, just chasing a laugh

Got lost on the way back, way off of the path

Staring down at the dash, running low on the gas

But I didn't even stress, watching the scenery pass

'Cause I had you in the passenger seat by my side

Through the fumes and the panic, a beautiful ride

It’s the way that you look at me, deep in my soul

Every hug that you gave me, the butterflies stole

Even when you look rough, you’re a beautiful sight

I only wanted your heart when the timing was right

And I don't care if you hate me in every way

Samantha, I love you still, at the end of the day

Twenty-five years, that's a quarter-century deep

These are the moments I promise I'm going to keep

I know that things change, and the weather gets cold

But the truth of this story is never too old

Even if you despise me and push me away

My love is the concrete, it's destined to stay

It’s the way that you look at me, deep in my soul

Every hug that you gave me, the butterflies stole

Even when you look rough, you’re a beautiful sight

I only wanted your heart when the timing was right

And I don't care if you hate me in every way

Samantha, I love you still, at the end of the day

Yeah, I love you still, at the end of the day
