Question, by the Old 97s.

I heard it at my friends S and S’s wedding in December and fell in love with it. Finally downloaded it yesterday and put it on my “running mix 2/2005” along with Bitterest Pill by the Jam, Shaggy, and Nu Shooz. It made me run 4 1/2 miles today.

Question:

She woke from a dream
Her head was on fire
Why was he so nervous?
He took her to the park
She crossed her arms
And lowered her eyelids

Someday, somebody’s gonna ask you
A question that you should say “yes” to
Once in your life
Baby, tonight I’ve got a question for you

She’d had no idea
And started to cry
She said “in a good way”
He took her by the hand
Walked her back home
And they took the long way

Someday, somebody’s gonna ask you
The question that you should say “yes” to
Once in your life
Maybe tonight I’ve got a question for you
I’ve got a question for you.

If you are a sappy girl, or a romantic guy, get this song. Put it on a mix for Monday night. You can thank me later.
