"Tho' I love writing songs I consider myself a composer. Cut my teeth on orchestration when I was a copyist for Manilow. Country influence holds sway right now.

Story behind the song
Probably too sentimental for current generations. But for us old farts it's a good story with a sad/happy ending.
Lyrics
(Is That Your) Final Answer? I. He was a skinny kid, but not a Bad lookin' cowboy, And one for takin' a chance. She was pretty and shy But had a look in her eye So he walked up and asked her to dance. She politely declined and thought: "I'm out of my mind." But she was Playin' hard to get. She wondered If and when she'd ever see him again. But he turned with a wink and then said: Chorus: "Is that your final answer? Come take a chance. I know I Ain't no red-hot dancer. And I'm no Don Juan, no singer of songs Beneath the moonlight shinin'." "Is that your final answer? Come take a chance. And I could be Your true romancer And the love of your life. Is that your final answer?" II. One thing led to another And she quickly discovered He had swept her heart away. He said "I can't live without you. Will you mary me? And I will Love you all my days." She was the kind of a girl who would Not be rushed, though her Head was in a spin. "We should take it slower cuz' I Don't really know ya." He gave her a wink and a grin. Repeat Chorus III. Well they were man and wife In love for lifetime And maybe a whole lot more. All the laughter and tears Have only sweetened the years. They've got grandkids by the score. She shuffles over and she strokes his hair, Hair now gray and thin. "Will you dance with me?" And he says: "Yesiree!" She gives him a wink and a grin. Chorus: "Is that your final answer? Come take a chance. I know you Ain't no red-hot dancer. And you're no Don Juan, no singer of songs Beneath the moonlight shinin'. Is that your final answer? Come take a chance. You'll always be My true romancer And the love of my life. Is that your final answer? And he says: "You're the love of my life. And that's my final answer!"
