I've been thinking of a song idea related to the song You're Nobody Till Somebody Loves You, which was a hit for Dean Martin. While sitting in my denomination's Sunday services this morning I came up with the above. It is a nice idea, but would probably be hard to work it into a song.
Tell the lady often that you love her (20190203)
They sang “You’re Nobody Till Somebody Loves You”;
But what if that somebody isn’t there anymore?
Are you Nobody again since you lost your best friend?
Have you got anything left worth living for?
I’ve read of couples who stayed together
Pretty much for all their adult lives.
When one of them passes through death’s door
Wives quickly follow husbands quickly follow wives.
Husbands, treat your missus kindly.
Make sure she knows you want her to stay.
Tell the lady often that you love her,
‘Cause someday she could leave or pass away.
Husbands, it’s in your own best self interest
To ensure the well-being and happiness of your wife.
Tell the lady often that you love her,
Because she’s the one that’s extending your life
Husbands, treat your missus kindly.
‘Cause someday she could leave or pass away.
Tell the lady most often that you love her,
And ensure she knows you want her to stay.
