Favorite Lyrics:
I don’t get many things right the first time,
In fact, I am told that a lot
Now I know all the wrong turns the stumbles,

And where was I before the day

Now I see it every day
And I know
That I am, I am, I am, the luckiest

To be around when it ends
So give me your forever
Please your forever
Not a day less will do
From you
