Keith Urban - Making Memories of Us Lyrics + Chords
Lyrics
I'm gonna be here for you baby
I'll be a man of my word
Speak the language in a voice
That you have never heard
I wanna sleep with you forever
And I wanna die in your arms
In a cabin by a meadow
Where the wild bees swarm
And I'm gonna love you
Like nobody loves you
And I'll earn your trust
Makin' memories of us
I wanna honor your mother
I wanna learn from your pa
I wanna steal your attention
Like a bad outlaw
I wanna stand out in a crowd for you
A man among men
I wanna make your world better
Than it's ever been
And I'm gonna love you
Like nobody loves you
And I'll earn your trust
Makin' memories of us
We'll follow the rainbow
Wherever the four winds blow
And there'll be a new day
Comin' your way
I'm gonna be here for you from now on
This you know somehow
You've been stretched to the limits
But it's alright now
And I'm gonna make you a promise
If there's life after this
I'm gonna be there to meet you
With a warm, wet kiss
And I'm gonna love you
Like nobody loves you
And I'll earn your trust
Makin' memories of us
I'm gonna love you
Like nobody loves you
And I'll win your trust
Makin' memories of us

Meaning & Inspiration
Keith Urban's "Making Memories of Us," released in 2006 as part of his *Greatest Hits* album, offers a profound meditation on the enduring power of shared experiences in a relationship. The song beautifully captures the essence of building a life together, not through grand pronouncements, but through the accumulation of quiet, everyday moments. It speaks to the deliberate act of cherishing and preserving these shared instances, recognizing their intrinsic value as the bedrock of lasting love. This perspective resonates deeply with the biblical principle of dwelling together in unity, as Psalm 33:12 reminds us, "Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people whom he has chosen as his heritage!" While this verse speaks to a nation, the underlying sentiment of shared belonging and divine favor in unity can be powerfully applied to the intimacy of marriage. The song encourages a conscious effort to create and remember, a sentiment echoed in Proverbs 11:27, which states, "Whoever diligently seeks good seeks favor, but trouble assembles itself for those who seek evil." "Making Memories of Us" suggests that diligently seeking good in the form of creating precious memories is indeed a path to favor within a relationship. The deliberate crafting of these shared moments, whether big or small, transforms ordinary days into a rich tapestry of lived history, much like how the Old Testament narratives are built upon generations recounting the faithfulness of God and the journeys of His people. It’s a powerful reminder that love isn't just found in peak experiences, but in the steady accumulation of time spent together, a concept that aligns with the biblical emphasis on perseverance and faithfulness, as seen in Galatians 6:9: "Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up." The song’s message is an inspiring call to actively participate in the unfolding narrative of one's relationship, recognizing that each shared memory is a testament to a love that is growing, deepening, and ultimately, divinely blessed.
