I was chatting with a dear friend just after lock down began and she told me how badly COVID 19 had affected her. She lost her motivation and wanted to hide under the blankets until it was over. When I woke the next morning, the song was in my head.
lyrics
On the night that we first met I made myself a 2 to 1 bet
That I would win his pretty little heart that night
I wove my magic, used my charms
and before long I was in his arms
Promised myself that I would be there for life
See into our future, rockin’ on the porch
Grey hair balding, glasses of course
Repeating every sentence, bouncin’ grand kids on our knee
Try’n to remember how not to forget
Livin’ our life, no single regret
Coz he’s tall and he’s lean and he’s sweet and he’s keen
And he loves me
No crystal ball to show me how
I've got a man who loves me no
I'm content to let it all play out
If this is how the story ends
He loves me tell you now my friends
Climb to the roof top I'm gonna' scream and shout.
See into our future, rockin’ on the porch
Grey hair balding, glasses of course
Repeating every sentence, bouncin’ grand kids on our knee
Try’n to remember how not to forget
Livin’ our life, no single regret
Coz he’s tall and he’s lean and he’s sweet and he’s keen
And he loves me
Yeah I'm stickin’ like glue never changin’ my view coz he loves me
He's my man ‘till the end my lover my friend yes he is, yes he is
And he loves me
He loves me yeah
