I've played the fool
So much longer than you
Been tied to a noose
On a tree that's yet to bloom
Older and wiser, younger and stubborn
I'll never find one like you
One day my life
It will read
"Husband and a family man of three"
In black and white
Summed up in ink
And I'll have never said just what you meant to me
For what it's worth is more than words you see
It's everything, Marie
No turn of phrase
Could possibly repay
The love that you gave
All the dreams that you forsake
Older and wiser, younger and stubborn
A constant reminder of truth
One day my life
It will read
"Husband and a family man of three"
In black and white
Summed up in ink
And I'll have never said just what you meant to me
For what it's worth is more than words you see
It's everything Marie
It's everything Marie
It's everything Marie
