In my youth I was a fool
Playing games without no rules
Every girl that I would see
I would ask them all to marry me
Six times up six times out
Thank God none of them worked out
So far I have stayed unwed
But number seven gets in my head
The very moment we shared a kiss
She stole my heart it was just that quick
How in hell could I ever know
Just how quick our love would grow
In those days I was wild and free
Alcohol and smoking was part of me
Every weekend would find me ripped
She was ready to make me flip
She married me although she knew
All the things I used to do
So for both our sake I decided to
Make a change because I knew
That if our love was going to grow
The drugs and booze would have to go
So it began the love we shared
Would go unchallenged right then and there
We were partners we were a team
She was my angel she was my dream
Our love remains strong after thirty years
We enjoyed laughter and we shared tears
It just goes to show that if you really love
All hardships and obstacles you can rise above
A little hard work And meeting halfway
And you take my word love will find away
