27 Years

27 Years ago Tracy and I were married. I don't understand why she's put up with me all these years.

Back when we were dating I used to leave her notes with song lyrics because that was the only poetry I knew and with how intense my life was at the time, it was all I had time to experience. I might as well keep that tradition going.

The Book of Love 

(Performed by Peter Gabriel)

The book of love is long and boring

No one can lift the damn thing

It's full of charts and facts, some figures and instructions for dancing

But I,

I love it when you read to me.

And you,

You can read me anything.

The book of love has music in it,

In fact, that's where music comes from.

Some of it is just transcendental,

Some of it is just really dumb.

But I,

I love it when you sing to me.

And you,

You can sing me anything.

The book of love is long and boring,

And written very long ago.

It's full of flowers and heart-shaped boxes,

And things we're all too young to know.

But I,

I love it when you give me things.

And you,

You ought to give me wedding rings.

And I,

I love it when you give me things.

And you,

You ought to give me wedding rings.

You ought to give me wedding rings.
