[Verse 1: Mark Knopfler & Emmylou Harris, Mark Knopfler, Emmylou Harris]
This is us down at the Mardi Gras
This is us in your daddy's car
You and the missing link
Yeah, I'd had a little too much to drink now
Too long in the sun
Having too much fun

[Chorus: Mark Knopfler & Emmylou Harris]
You and me and our memories, this is us
This is us, this is us
This is us, this is us

[Verse 2: Mark Knopfler & Emmylou Harris, Mark Knopfler, Emmylou Harris]
Yeah rocking at the barbecue
When we said "I do"
Hand-jiving on the ballroom floor
You in that wedding coat you wore
And you in that amazing dress
I was stoned on love, I guess

[Chorus: Mark Knopfler & Emmylou Harris]
You and me, we were meant to be, this is us
This is us, this is us
This is us, this is us
[Bridge: Mark Knopfler & Emmylou Harris]
This is us on our honeymoon
In our hotel room
Sitting by the wishing well
Checking out of the Love Motel

[Verse 3: Mark Knopfler, Emmylou Harris]
Making plans for the Sunshine State
Waiting at the terminal gate

[Chorus: Mark Knopfler & Emmylou Harris]
You and me making history, this is us
This is us, this is us
This is us, this is us
This is us, this is us
This is us, this is us

[Verse 4: Mark Knopfler & Emmylou Harris, Mark Knopfler, Emmylou Harris]
And our baby boy
With our pride and joy
You at the Sunday game
Standing next to what's-his-name
On our anniversary
With the family

[Chorus: Mark Knopfler & Emmylou Harris]
You and me and our memories, this is us
This is us, this is us
This is us, this is us
This is us, this is us
This is us, this is us
