Us In a Nutshell

Life and love were disappointing As you searched for a brand new start And then this desperado came And stole your quickly beating heart The years flew by, those days and nights As wants and dreams we'd see unfold Through the ups, downs and sideways We found ourselves start to grow old You wear your heart on your sleeve And let me know what's on your mind I'm more reserved and bottle up Feelings of which I'm consigned Because you are so much younger I'm concerned that you'll be happy And hope you'll always think of me As your lover and not your pappy!

Good for you. I found my sweetie 26 years ago and life could not be better. Hopefully she feels the same way.
