Day 13 - 20 Lines in 20 Days

Today at the pool I looked over at you and for like the 10 millionth time in the past 20 years I was struck by how simply beautiful you are and have been for so long. I am very very lucky.

Today's song is a song that frankly I don't think fits "us" so much. But it is very much a love song. It is the Counting Crows again. Adam sings about a girl who has a life that is pretty messed up. All he wants to do is protect her and make her life better. He even goes so far as to sing about making his life so worse so hers won't be so bad. It is a very sad song, but his message is clear. He loves this girls so much he will go to any length to prove it to her.

The song is "High Life". There are a few pretty dark lyrics. Many of which in no way represent us. But the overall message is one I feel pretty strongly about. It is how I got my "super Man" image. I too want nothing more than to make your life wonderful. To protect you from harm. To make every moment of every day something you treasure. To make you never feel pain and if you do to not have to feel that pain alone.

So in a sense it is a song about us - just not with a story like ours. He does however add one the Counting Crows best lyrics from any of their songs. It completely sums up the way i feel about my role as your husband and the person you will be with forever.

"Waiting here for you
Wanting to tell you
How I line my sky with all the silver you can use
Just the way you do
Thought if I told you"

It is truly Adam's best moment. A lyric I cherish for you. "How I Line my Sky with all the Silver You can Use". I would line my sky with whatever you needed my love. Have done so for the past 20 years and will do so for the next 50 or so.

You're the world to me. I love you more than anything in the world.
