Johnny & Gigi

Johnny grew up hard,

where the streets were mean

His wits were usually sharp,

and his eyes were keen

Gigi was bright, 

and a high school beauty queen, 

John thought they were worlds apart

Not just different leagues,

and even though she made his soul sing

He thought: 

"No way she'd ever go for a guy like me"

But turned out he was wrong, so pleasantly 

Twenty years on and the life they've built 

Couldn't be more amazing
