Our Song

In addition to being forced to listen to Mr. Roboto on the plane yesterday, I also had the pleasure of hearing our song. I find it funny that lots of couples have "their song", but most times I think it is tied to a moment in time rather than the song itself. "Our song" is a true representation of our relationship. It is a song we don't share with anyone else I have ever met. The song isn't obscure or anything, it is just uniquely us.

I decided to take the time to put the lyrics on a post and really illustrate just how closely they fit. As I mentioned once before, no song is a perfect fit for any couple. However, this one is really close to perfect.

I could be discontent and chase the rainbows end

I might win much more but lose all that is mine

I could be a lot but I know I'm not

I'm content just with the riches that you bring

.

What a terrific way to open the song. As the song kind of implies throughout, our relationship is in fact the crowning achievement of my life. Yes, anyone could want more in life. They could take risks to get more than they already have. I have no need to do that. I am truly content with the riches that you bring. This love, this life, this marriage. I want for nothing more. What ever else I achieve pales by comparison.

.

I might shoot to win and commit the sin

Of wanting more than I've already got

I could runaway but I'd rather stay

In the warmth of your smile lighting up my day

.

Maybe this is why people stray in marriages. Wanting more than they have already got. Running away to find something that they lack or at least perceive they lack. Our marriage lacks nothing. In a way it is simply perfect. Best friends, wonderful family, ability to make each other laugh. Why want more? How could one even imagine more? I would rather stay - having the warmth of your smile lightining up my day. How could anything be more perfect?

.

The chorus is simple.

.

You're the best thing that ever happned to me or my world

You're the best thing that ever happened, so don't go away

.

Wow. No truer words ever spoken. My life is what it is because of you and the us we have created. I want nothing more than to recognized as the other half of us. It is a life accomplishment. Yes, you are the best thing that ever happened to my - to my world.

.

I might be a king and steal my peoples things

But I don't go for that power crazy way

All that I could rule but I don't check for fools

All that I need is to be left to live my way

.

I struggled to see how this fit. Then I realized how it fit with the rest of the song. Yes I could be king, but that isn't my way. All I need is to be left to live my way. My way is you. To be left to live the life we have and and feel the love we share, thats all I need. It gets you through good and bad. It makes each day worth waking up for. Yes left to live my way. The "just us" way. Let no one else or their ambition stand in the way of that.

.

I could chase around for nothing to be found

But why look for something that is never there

I may get it wrong sometimes but I'll come back in style

For I realise your love means more than anything

.

There is no need to look elsewhere for something that doesn't exist. When you even question that you come back to the same place over and over again. Yes your love means more than anything. All the riches in the world couldn't replace it.

.

You truly are the best thing that ever happened to me - to my world. This love, this life, this marriage. Nothing can replace it, nothing has its value. You are the true love of my life.

.

While I think this may officially be the most corny post to date, it pleases me that our song is as truly special as our relationship. I love you so much. Our love really is the most important thing to me - it means more than anything.

.

I love you.
