Written by：Tammy Wynette

I was so excited when you asked if I could go
当你邀约时我欣喜若狂
But mom said I'd have to ask my daddy
但妈妈说必须征得爸爸同意
I met him at the front door so afraid that he'd say no
我在门口遇见他 生怕他会拒绝
But he smiled and said "Let mama get you ready"
他却笑着说"让妈妈帮你准备"
In your cotton shirt and faded jeans you came for me
你穿着棉布衬衫和褪色牛仔裤来接我
And the gingham dress was all I had to wear
而我只有格子连衣裙可穿
With a dollar in your pocket and a borrowed car
口袋里揣着一美元 开着借来的车
You picked a yellow daisy for my hair
你为我摘了朵黄色雏菊别在发间
That's the way it could have been
这本该是我们的模样
Oh that's the way it should have been
噢 这本该是我们的结局
If I had met you way back then
若我们早在那时相遇
That's the way it would have been
这就会是我们的故事
I put away my gingham for a pretty dress of white
我褪下格子裙换上洁白嫁衣
And you wore a suit instead of faded jeans
你身着正装取代破旧牛仔裤
Our wedding day was perfect and we loved away the night
婚礼那日完美无瑕 我们彻夜缠绵
Life for us was filled with lots of dreams
生活里满载着美好憧憬
We bought a house upon a hill outside of town
我们在城外山丘上安了家
And two young people finally settled in
两个年轻人终于安定下来
And you just won't believe the little children running 'round
你简直不敢相信那些嬉戏的孩童
And they pick yellow daisies now and then
他们偶尔会采摘黄色雏菊
And that's the way it could have been
这本该是我们的模样
Oh that's the way it should have been
噢 这本该是我们的结局
If I had met you way back then
若我们早在那时相遇
That's the way it would have been
这就会是我们的故事
That's the way it could have been
或许会是这般模样
