Happy Anniversary to My Beautiful Wife
As you may have guessed there were six Springsteen songs in a row to start off our wedding reception.
I chose five of them.
I distinctly recall the Real World was song number two and Book of Dreams was also in the top five.
(Thunder Road was as well).
But I didn't actually choose the song that we would use for our first dance!
(And let me tell you...I'm a helluva' dancer).
Kathy picked the song.
And that's when I knew that marrying her was a terrific idea.
Think about it:
She came to me with a Springsteen song that she thought we should use for the first dance!
And the more you live within the confines of a marriage the more you realize the beauty of this song. Bruce nailed what it should be like in any long, happy marriage.
Happy Anniversary to My Beautiful Wife!
If I Should Fall Behind - Bruce Springsteen from Lucky Town
We said we'd walk together, baby, come what may
That come the twilight should we lose our way
If as we're walking a hand should slip free
I'll wait for you
And should I fall behind
Wait for me
We swore we'd travel darlin' side by side
We'd help each other stay in stride
But each lover's steps fall so differently
But I'll wait for you
And if I should fall behind
Wait for me
Now everyone dreams of a love lasting and true
But you and I know what this world can do
So let's make our steps clear that the other may see
And I'll wait for you
If I should fall behind
Wait for me
Now there's a beautiful river in the valley ahead
There 'neath the oak's bough soon we will be wed
Should we lose each other in the shadow of the evening trees
I'll wait for you
And should I fall behind
Wait for me
Darlin' I'll wait for you
Should I fall behind
Wait for me
