From up above (True Love) HP Challenge
From up above (True Love)
Been around the block a time a two
But it never meant anything before I met you
More times than not I came up empty
Even if I had someone to speak to
Never stuck around too long to be missed
Always moving on to the next kiss
I was just an attention addict looking for a fix
I never treated love like the gift
A gift from up above
Is what you and our family is to me
I am proud of the responsibility
Of carrying your heart
And I truly cherish the role
Of father, husband and lover
Although, I remember those bawdy days
With a rosy, colored cover
I thank the Lord above every night
That you went temporarily insane
And signed the wedding decree
OOPS!
Too late! You are stuck with me….
(What? This is supposed to be serious….)
