What's So Funny?

Happy 38th, Baby
This post is dedicated to my wife, Connie, who chose to marry me on January 11, 1975. It’s not always been easy, but things worth having are worth the effort. Lord knows, she could have done a lot better, and I married way out of my league.
Several years ago, I wrote her this song for our anniversary.
Deeper in Love with You
When I was seventeen, I knew everything
That’s when we met in school
First time I saw your face my heart began to race
And Cupid’s arrow flew
Straight for my heart I saw it comin’
Just like a bolt from the blue
Straight for my heart I saw it comin’
And in that moment I knew
That I could easily fall in love with you.
And then one Saturday by a fireplace
In your light-blue gown
The Justice of the Peace said, “Will you love and keep?”
I thank you Mrs. Brown
Nobody there to throw the rice
No camera to camera the news
No champagne on ice to cool down the night
Just two young lovers who knew
That I had already fallen in love with you
The days go by, the years go faster
We watched the children grow
We may grow old someday, but if we do I say
I’ll still be wanting you
Somebody there to share my life
Turn all the gray skies blue
One special girl to be my wife
What else could any man do?
But fall deeper and deeper in love with you.

It leaked oil like a sieve. The old Dodge had a slant-six and I bought it to haul music equipment. The motor blew up not too long after I sold it.
