Sorry about how you had to spend your evening. Our little (and she still is) girl is so lucky to have you. We all are lucky.
Tonight's song may not be one you were expecting. But the one line is so easily fitting for us I have always known it reminded me of you. The song in fact is such a sweet love song, it has to be a song that fits us.
The band is XTC and the song is the "Mayor of Simpleton" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Da9sc6YDBo). I just watched the video and the song is kind of silly. But isn't silly one of those things that has made our marriage so successful? Isn't a good laugh really at the heart of our 20 years together? This song is a tongue in cheek love song.
Essentially the guy is singing about all the things he isn't very good at in life. He has never been to school. He has no idea how to run his computer. Math scares him. He doesn't know big words. He is a simpleton. The "mayor" of simpleton. But you know what he does know? He knows how in love he is with the person about who he sings. That part is simple. He is simply in love. He does that very well. He is me.
As you are certainly aware there are many things at which I am not very good. Many things that I simply do not grasp. But I "get" loving you. It comes so easy. So simply to me. Maybe it is because you are so easy to love. Maybe because I know that you love me so much as well. Whatever it is it is simply perfect. If being in love with you means I am the "Mayor of Simpleton" then it is an office I want forever.
The line I picked is obvious..... "I don't know much, but I know one thing and that's I love you".
The song is very silly, but my love for you is very serious. No matter how simple it may be....
You're the world to me. I love you more than anything in the world.
