Nothing Else Matters

Going against the life they had planned,
A midnight drive and a wedding band,
Come morning the damage will be done,
Chapel in the mountains, last names one,
Nothing else matters

Holding back tears sitting on the porch,
Telling her parents would hurt even more,
His daddy's looks and his stubborn pride,
A baby on the way with his beautiful bride,
Nothing else matters

Damned and determined to prove them all wrong,
Destiny, Meant to be, together they belong,
Working hard to provide their every need,
Faith, love, and nothing more, in life they will succeed,
Nothing else matters

Time heals wounds with the birth of a child,
Changes their minds, makes it all worthwhile,
Her granny's smile and her poppa's eyes,
Two loving parents to stay by her side,
Nothing else matters
