LYRICS:
Back in '41. you met a brown-eyed boy
Who called you pretty
He'd walk every day, couple miles out of his way
To hold your hand and keep you company
Your mama said, don't call it love at 14
But sittin' on that front porch swing
He gave you his picture in a locket
That you wore around your neck
Left it right beside your heart
So you would not forget
The way it felt when he held your hand
And you swore that you would never take it off
And the butterflies you felt said it all
You were falling for the boy inside your locket
Back in '43, the brown-eyed boy went overseas
And had to leave town for a little while
He swore he'd marry you
As soon as the war was through
You would be his wife
Standing in the pouring rain
You cried as you watched him ride away
But everyday
You had his picture in a locket
That you wore around your neck
Left it right beside your heart so you would not forget
The way his kiss tasted on your lips
And everyday felt like a lifetime with him gone
And you prayed that God would bring him safely home
'Cause you made a promise
To the boy inside your locket
Oh, 60 years you two had together
But he's been gone for a couple now
And it breaks my heart to see you struggle to remember
But I've been writing all your memories down
And I stopped by today
To read a couple pages
Grandma, you sure look pretty
And you smiled that smile
The one I haven't seen in quite a while
And you said to me, 1 want you to keep
His picture in a locket that I wore around my neck
The one I left beside my heart so I would not forget
The greatest love and the greatest man I've ever known
But it's gettin' time for me to head on home
She said, that brown-eyed boy is waiting
And I don't want to keep him long
Heaven is calling
And she said, my heart is longing
For the boy inside your locket

Lauren should get this a movie made off this song. It would be beautiful to see a story like this to unfold on the big screen

[@MyGuitarman18]

Wish there were more songs like thisone, and more singers like Lauren Alaina. I cried and cried: this song, as sung by Lauren, is so beautiful, fragile and powerful all at the same time. Thank you to the composer and to the performer - both inspirational. Keep on sharing your gifts! This world needs you.

[@Kagayuka]

I cried. C': This song is so touching. Lauren Alaina has done it! She has captured the hearts of us and I love her.

[@mslexy1905]

Why can't every love be this pure and strong?

[@cheyennec4396]

This song reminds me of my grandma who passed away four months ago. I miss her so much. I talked to her like my best friend. I would do anything to talk to her again.

[@kwietgirl09]

this song touched my heart, reminded me of my grandmother she is 95 and my granddad who passed away several years ago. so touching, love u lauren!

[@JennIsWhatsUp]

Wow! Great song, incredible performance by a really talented singer who shows how good she is on this very difficult song to sing.

[@jenniferngp1]

Such a beautiful song. I love you Lauren!

[@hannahdowker5138]

[@belen.bradford4]

[@SuperBeckyboo13]

Makes me think of my "grandparents" They had a great love that will never die even when he did.

[@Jojoseahorse]

Hadn't heard this before, was actually googling songs about jewellery for a theme I'm doing, glad I found this

[@summerinspringville-hill]

beautiful, heartfelt and meaningful. lovely song.

[@dixierose101]

This song is so gorgeous. I hope me and my love get sixty years together. It's amazing how many young couples don't even make it past five anymore.

[@karenstephens3296]

this song reminds me of my mom and daddy ! lord i sure wish my mom was still here with me i have to much i want to tell her !!! never know what you have loss until ur mother is gone !

[@deputyseal409]

[@Browneyeslover1000]

this song is so sad... i sang this to my grandama and made her cry.... ILY grandma!

[@sarahmunoz5526]

I love this song. Chills every time

[@courtneyLeanne1500]

this song made me cry :')

[@guineamypiggy]

This song remind me of my great grandma. She lived all her life with my great grandpa and now that he's gone shes confuzed and is very forgetful of memories they had :(

[@Lemonade807]

I always wondered why she never released this song as a single, I think its best song on the album :)

[@SarahM874]

I wish every relationship didn't revolve around sex. Sex is for marriage. save your innocence for when you promise yourself to another, everyone be allot more happier in the long run.

[@sydneycraig7127]

Sarah Moore I agree. A relationship should be about trusting that person to love you in every way, not just sexual. Boys now a days only think about sex. It;s ridiculous. You should wait until you are truly ready and have made sure you have found the right guy. You don't have to get married first because my aunt and uncle aren't and they have two girls. But the point is, you don't have to have sex just to have fun with your boyfriend/girlfriend,

[@chloteismykitty]

I love this song its beautiful!

[@kristianhenry8323]

Very moving

[@oliviacreech1883]

[@LaloDiaz1987]

This is my favorite song on her album! You put this video together very well!

[@valarielee6756]

This is my favorite song. its amaing and she is so pretty and had my vote all through amreican idol and her and scotty were hard to choose from

[@sophiemcdougal2869]

Sweetest song...

[@eleynaxo626]

almost made me cry

[@misterbojangles24]

this is one of the best songs on Lauren's CD but it is unlikely her record label will release it or will country radio play it due to its length. If they did it would go right to #1 on the charts because it tugs on the heart strings and people will talk about it. Dirt road prayer has a better chance of making her first big hit as the third release from her album will likely be a slow song. Just one big hit will make Lauren a break out star!

[@Mr23Swift]

Really beautiful video. Compliments the song so perfectly. Thank you so much for uploading =)

[@caseygibson8]

crying. so. hard.

[@mslexy1905]

Heard it wasn't actually written by Lauren, but she also teared up and something about the song reminding her about the Notebook.

[@ayemichaela9940]

Ive met her. Her boyfriend goes to my church so my brother hangs out with her sometimes :)

[@MegaGood5]

Beautiful *_*

[@jordanburroughs7119]

amazing video

[@twiligh4trinitya]

This song is her Grandma's story. It talks about 1941 and 1943. And I'm assuming the brown-eyed boy is her Grandpa. Sweet story.

[@Misheru_]

@MsJackal49 Wow. Thank you so much! Glad you liked it. :)

[@ayemichaela9940]

Ive met her. her Boyfriend goes to my church and she goes somtimes my brother hangs with her somtimes!!! Beutiful song brings tears to my eyes! LIKE if youve met lauren

[@ShreyaChoudhuryMusic]

aye michaela I haven’t met Lauren yet but you’re lucky if you have. I would love to meet her sometime. She’s amazing, talented and so sweet with her fans! She’s another inspiration for me to keep strong and continue singing. As a singer myself, I love her to bits and I wish her all the success. She deserves it! 😍😍

[@opey5825]

you did an amazing job on all ur vids great job (:

[@20AnD13]

@KaraReneeSunshine God, no. I cry every time I listen to it, no matter what. Especially at the end. I bawl like a baby every time.

[@Misheru_]

@VictoriaBatarseh for broader search, go to Google image search. I type in specific 'theme' e.g: locket or couple/sweet couple. Remember always put 'photography' (e.g sweet couple photography) so you can get beautiful photos. Most of the host was Tumblr and WeHeartIt that's why I told you.

[@mclainateam]

@michelle092893 thank you :) i love your pics . they are perfect for lyrics. this song makes me want to cry ! no lie ! such a emotional love story ! love Lauren more :)
