Lyrics
Sixty years old tonight, y'all. Hold that beat, fellas. I got something to say. Candles on the cake, my late wife's picture by the door, Five long winters sitting in a house I can't restore. Second row, yellow dress, she laughed at all my jokes, Now my knees are shaking and the whole room knows. Horns, give me one! Give me two! Said I'm crossing this floor, And I'm not turning back, no, no. Ask her now! Don't you wait another day! Ask her now! Before the band goes home and she walks away! One dance, then the question, Take her hand and say it plain. Ask her now! Brother's got his phone up, my daughter's wiping her eyes, Pastor's in the corner grinning, no surprise. I pressed my Sunday jacket, shined my shoes till they gleamed, Lord, I'm sixty years young, and I'm chasing a dream. Horns, give me one! Give me two! Said I'm crossing this floor, And I'm not turning back, no, no. Ask her now! Don't you wait another day! Ask her now! Before the band goes home and she walks away! One dance, then the question, Take her hand and say it plain. Ask her now! Hush, now. Ma'am, I'm walking over. I loved once, and I was blessed. Never thought my heart had room for twice. Well, I was wrong. ASK HER NOW! Down on one knee, I'm gonna say it loud! ASK HER NOW! Marry me, darling, in front of the crowd! Oh, ask her now! Ask her, ask her, ask her now! Say yes, baby, say yes!
