I was driving home a couple of months ago and I was listening to the song, Hey there Delilah, thinking about my wife. I don't know why. My wife wasn't in New York... I wasn't a thousand miles away... And I most definitely couldn't pay the bills with my guitar! But there was just something about it that reminded me of her.
Maybe it was when he said, "Times Square never shined as bright as you." or "I'd walk to you if I had no other way." (the 1000 miles in mind)
I think it is those little things. They remind me of her in small ways. From the greatest epic love story to those little crushes, they have all become focused on her. For me, the epitome of one to be in love with is packaged in one special person...
So... I wrote a poem. (In my head there is also a tune... something with a country twang... but I promise I won't record myself singing it.)
Every Love Song Reminds Me of You
We've been together for so long
Another decade of love songs
But that's alright, that's fine by me
Cause I see you in every melody
When they sing it fast or sing it slow
When they sing it high or sing it low
Rock ballads, country or the blues
Every love song reminds me of you
Regardless of the melody
Whether passionate love or tragedy
I guess that's cause we've been there too
and some sweet part reminds me of you
So sing it fast and sing it slow
Sing it high and sing it low
Singing the rock, rhythm and the blues
Every love song reminds me of you
Some of those songs I never want to end
When I'm thinking about you my soul mate and friend
Through verse, chorus and instrumentals too
Every beautiful note reminds me of you
So I'm singing it fast and singing it slow
I'm cranking it up on the radio
New songs, old songs and classical too
Cause every love song reminds me of you
That one ought to get you some smoochies
