Love starts with a toothbrush,
a Bic razor and a Dixie cup,
a little splash of aftershave,
before you leave on that first date
a sea of stars flash in your eyes
after that long kiss goodnight.

Forever starts with a suitcase,
before a honeymoon getaway
got the car waitin' at the curb,
gassed up for Gatlinburg.
A little chapel and a couple of rings
next thing it's two toothbrushes by the bathroom sink 
...

Everything that's anything
starts out as a little thing
it only needs a some time and room to grow.
Step by step and day by day
it all adds up along the way
and the next thing that you know.

a corner lot on the edge of town,
weed eater and a picket fence
you think it's good as the gettin' gets.
wake up one mornin' and she's feelin' bad
and you both can see what's up ahead.

Everything that's anything
starts out as a little thing
that only needs some time and room to grow.
Step by step and day by day
it all adds up along the way
and the next thing that you know.

One night around eight o'clock,
you scrub him down then you dry him off.
Pick him up, put his little feet
step stool by the bathroom sink.
Grab the Crest and a Dixie cup
it all hits you as he opens up ...

Love starts with a toothbrush ...
