The Proposal Lyrics

She took my hand and held it so tightly
I had her heart and it burned so bright, she
whispered and said "I want you to marry me"
"I want you to marry me"

She had the eyes of autumn in colour
Warm was her touch, she loved like no other
We'd bask in the moonlight watching the stars go by
Watching the stars go by

Oh in my dreams
I see things the way I think they ought to be
Oh silly me
Reality kicked in

I can't describe the way that I felt
That first time I saw her my senses were melted
She spoke and my voice was taken away from me
Was taken away from me

Oh in my dreams
I see things the way I think they ought to be
Oh silly me
reality kicked in

Everybody seems to think that I'm a little crazy
For wanting to go so deep
But there's just one thing that comes between me and this dream
And I overlooked it in my rush to be redeemed
The smallest of steps can be much bigger than it seems to be
A finger to wear this ring

She took my hand and held it so tightly
I had her heart and it burned so bright, she
whispered and said "I want you to marry me"
"I want you to marry ..."

She took my hand and held it so tightly
I had her heart and it burned so bright, she
whispered and said "I want you to marry me"
"I want you to marry me"

She had the eyes of autumn in colour
Warm was her touch, she loved like no other
We'd bask in the moonlight watching the stars go by
Watching the stars go by

Oh in my dreams
I see things the way I think they ought to be
Oh silly me
Reality kicked in

I can't describe the way that I felt 
That first time I saw her my senses were melted
She spoke and my voice was taken away from me
Was taken away from me

Oh in my dreams
I see things the way I think they ought to be
Oh silly me
reality kicked in

Everybody seems to think that I'm a little crazy
For wanting to go so deep
But there's just one thing that comes between me and this dream
And I overlooked it in my rush to be redeemed
The smallest of steps can be much bigger than it seems to be
A finger to wear this ring

She took my hand and held it so tightly
I had her heart and it burned so bright, she
whispered and said "I want you to marry me"
"I want you to marry ..."

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
