You Are the Man

(This is a true story of the way my husband proposed to me, a scene from our honeymoon and finally, a moment where we locked eyes after he read what I wrote in an anniversary card that I gave him on our 20th wedding anniversary. Even though I wrote this a few years ago, I JUST recorded it!)

You Are the Man

You are the man behind the question in the fortune cookie

You asked me if I'd wanna marry you

And pretty soon we both said "I do" 

Oooooooooh, you are the man.

***

You are the man who's makin' muscles with a waterfall behind you

Down in the hidden Valley of the Kings

On our private little black sand beach

Oooooooooooh, you are the man

***

You are the man who couldn't take your eyes

Away from a gaze in the deeps of mine

When you read that I said "only you could ever

Still be the one that I want forever."

***

You are the man who shares my memories

Without a word we say a thousand things

So much about love is a mystery

It's a present, with a future and a history

Oooooooooooh, you are the man
