A song dedicated to my partner JohnnyRey, of 22 years,
with hope of the possibility of marriage.
Lyrics
JohnnyRey, I really want to marry you!
since the first time I saw you johnnyrey
the night you walked into the bar
I knew we would spend the rest of our lives together
and that we would never ever part............
and now 19 years later and memories to last a million miles
it's time we make that final promise and for us to walk down the aisle
(chorus)
(oh j-j-j-johnnyrey, i-i-i-i-i really want to marry you
and say i do yes i do
please johnnyrey, i-i-i-i-i really want to marry you
yes it's true, I do...
oh j-j-j-johnnyrey, I know you want to marry me too
oh j-j-j-johnnyrey, I know you want to marry me too)
19 years ago this reality never stood a chance
two men holding each other as they shared their wedding dance
but it is now 2005 and our hope is still alive
despite all their hate and fear our day will arrive
they may try to stifle our love passion and lust
but we will prevail and nothing will stand between us
(chorus)
but for now we'll have to settle for the few rights we've garnered
and live our lives just like a married couple but as domestic partners
and although it may not be equal and certainly it's not the same
the fight is definitely far from over and so much still remains
until we can walk hand in hand in public without a discusting stare
we will continue this battle and fight until we achieve what is fair
