An anniversary gift, lyrics by my Dad, written for my Mom.
This is what happens when I a bored college student has access to a Fruity Loops Studio demo
Story behind the song
So yeah, my Dad wrote the lyrics for my Mom for their 25th anniversary, and I did the music. I sort of modeled it after early Beatles, because she likes the Beatles, but this is way more simple than anything the Beatles would ever do.
Lyrics
I knew from the start, you’d be my best friend
Dating was secret, we had to pretend
I knew from the start, our lives would be good
When I asked for your hand, you said that you would
For 25 years, with a smile on my face
Like marathon runners, we’ve stayed in the race
Through times that were filled with laughter and tears
We’ve overcome hardships, troubles and fears
As a Mom to our kids, I vote you the best
You’ve met the challenge, you’ve passed the test
As a wife to a husband, there is no finer
Like all the treasures of gold to a miner
Thoughts of you are always in mind
A better life partner I sure could not find
We celebrate now this wonderful day
Through words by me and music by Tay
Our lives to the whole world a message we send
Like the limbs on a tree that wind cannot bend
I’ve never met someone who gives more to life
I couldn’t be happier that you are my wife
