'DON'T LET GO'
I can't believe this moment's come
It's so incredible that we're alone
There's so much to be said and done
It's impossible not to be overcome
Haley linked her arm in Nathan's, grinning when she felt him kiss her hair. They were strolling along the beach in a rare moment alone, four-year-old James with his Uncle Lucas and Aunt Peyton at Deb's house.
"Having roaring fun?" Nathan asked, wrapping his arms around her from behind. They looked out at the water, almost invisible with the lack of sunlight.
"If only it would start raining," Haley giggled, turning in her husband's arms to kiss him. Nathan smiled; gazing at her with those stormy, blue eyes. Haley was struck by how much love showed through them.
Can you forgive me if I feel this way?
'Cause we just met
Tell me that's okay
"I just can't believe we're back here of all places," Nathan shrugged. Haley plopped down on the sand, pulling him down next to her. When he lay back, she hugged him and put her head on his chest, looking up at the stars.
"I know. It's amazing, Mr. and Mrs. Superstar, back again in little ol' Tree Hill," Haley sighed, referring to her longtime husband's soaring basketball career and her equally fabulous singing career. They were America's dream couple.
Take this feeling
Make it grow
Never let it
Never let it go
"I feel smothered. I don't know, it's just different," Nathan whispered, sounding awestruck. Haley beamed into his sweatshirt, kissing the abs underneath it. She felt the muscles jump and giggled softly.
"I know, baby. I'm just amazed that we're actually doing something without James-y." she sighed. Nathan laughed.
"Lucas was thrilled though. I don't see why he and Peyton don't just get married already. I mean they've been together since senior year."
"Yeah. Hey, we've been together since sophomore year!" Haley stated.
"We win,"
Don't let go
Don't let go of this moment in time
Don't let go
I can't explain these things I'm feeling
Don't let go
"Trust you to make it a competition…"
"Oh really, Miss Valedictorian? Miss Top-Of-The-Charts? Miss America's-Princess?" Nathan teased lightly. Haley looked up at his face, pouting.
"Mm, hmm, says the rookie of the year, MVP and America's Bad Boy?" Haley scoffed. Nathan stuck his tongue out at the blonde and she giggled, putting her head back down on his stomach.
"Is it raining?"
Now would you mind if I bared my soul
If I came right out and said you're beautiful
There's something here I can't explain
"Well, I guess it's the perfect night now,"
I feel battered in the driving rain
It's my senses running wild
I can't resist your sweet, sweet smile
Haley giggled when a raindrop fell on the top of Nathan's nose, splattering everywhere. He squinted his eyes when the droplets came too close to them, making Haley laugh again. She pressed a kiss to his jawbone and her eyes lit up when Nathan grinned at her.
"I'm glad I'm here with you." Nathan confessed softly, looking into Haley's brown eyes.
"I'm glad you're here with me too," she whispered, kissing his freckled nose.
So take this feeling
Make it grow
Never let it
Never let it go
"Well, that's good. At least you're married to somebody you enjoy," Nathan said, waggling his eyebrows as Haley punched him in the chest.
"Shut up! We're having a romantic moment, and you are so totally ruining it!" Haley scolded lightly before kissing her longtime love again. Nathan chuckled against her mouth as they kissed on the drenched sand. The little specks stuck to their skin as Nathan rolled them over, trapping tiny Haley underneath him.
Don't let go
Don't let go of this moment in time
Don't let go
I can't explain these things I'm feeling
Don't let go
"Ugh, we have to get back soon,"
"For what?"
I've been waiting my life
This moment feels so right
I feel you
It just feels all right
So come on, just hold on tight
"You know that little kid that popped out of me when we were eighteen? Yeah, that's for what." Haley said, laughing when Nathan grimaced at the thought of the labor that broke his hand.
"Please, Hales. Let's not get sappy," Nathan deadpanned, rolling away when Haley punched at him again.
Don't let go
Don't let go of this moment in time
Don't let go
I can't explain these things I'm feeling
Don't let go
"Well. So ends the beach date." Haley said, jumping up and attempting to brush the sand off of her soaked clothes with no avail. Nathan followed her, grabbing her around the waist and lifting her in the bridal carry.
No, don't let go
Oh I won't let go
"Milady,"
"Kind sir,"
