When I was seventeen
I met a girl at Mendel Catholic High School dance
She was fifteen and a half
We started going steady
We got engaged
We got married and we've been married thirty three years this year
Thank you
I'd like to take the bows for that
But uh you know people ask me how's that possible
Simple: marry a saint because that's what I did
And uh I mean let's face it sir look at me
I'm a good lookin' guy don't you think
I mean come on be fair ask her
I have some talents you know
I can dance a little sing a little
You know what I mean
Sort of charming especially with the good light on me
You'd look good up here well maybe not you
At home
I'm an a*****e
Just like you sir
Only worse
Welcome to the grand illusion
Next time you see rock stars or movie stars on TV
Telling you what you should think turn it off
Turn it off
Actors I love 'em you know
I did a little myself
But basically they pretend to be other people
Anyway and rock stars boy who's more full of shit than them
So anyway the first song I wrote for her was lady
And I've written a million other songs
She's been the inspiration of my life
She's the best thing that ever happened to me
I love her dearly
This song was written for her in 1979
