A brief and fleeting meeting on the piazza Made me think that's a Girl I'd like to get to know And so I chased her down and got her email Mmm what a female Such a dish she spoke English A sidelong glance You take a chance That's how romance begins Back home I sat alone at my computer The would be suitor Trying to compose the perfect prose I kept it short and simple light and charming Didn't want to be alarming I signed your friend then I hit send Down through the wires My heart's desires Conspired to make her mine And so began a time of corresponding Slowly bonding Feelings grow getting to know Till soon enough it seemed we both were falling We started calling Let's pick a place and face to face Something clicks The one fate picks The tricks life plays on you Once more across the ocean I departed Heavy-hearted Would she show how it could go Till there at last she stood in all her beauty Mmm what a cutie To know such bliss that first sweet kiss From time to time The stars align To shine their light on you A year of travel back and forth to visit So exquisite This is it the perfect fit There's just this little problem of the border Get your papers in order If you want to stay in the U.S.A. The border guards They make it hard A green card for my love If we'd had time we might have waited longer Grow the bond a bit stronger Those nagging doubts but time was running out And so one day in June there in Nevada That's right we had a Little wedding by the lake champagne and cake A hand to hold As you grow old And so we rolled the dice Into our little love next by the seaside Waking up beside Morning hugs 'n coffee mugs We took it slow and stopped to smell the flowers Talking for hours Ride our bikes and go for hikes That precious year So near and dear A future clear and bright She slowly came to know her new surroundings To get her groundings Work permit driving learn it But mostly things were harder than expected As doubts collected She got so stressed and then depressed My lovely bride Tore up inside I tried to make it right The problem was some work to get things going Some cash flow flowing Apply her skills and pay some bills But everywhere she turned They just kept saying The gig’s not paying Still it’s a very good way to build your resume A lucky break All it would take To make it all work out Then one day on the set she met a new gal A long overdue pal Who treated her like a little sister The two became a true dynamic duo Stuck together like glue oh Best girlfriends on whom they could depend Work and play The night and day While I stayed home alone Meanwhile the music business was imploding Everybody downloading The money’s gone time to move on My promising career clearly behind me How would fortune now find me Songs guitar Close but no cigar You had high hopes But them's the ropes And now the jokes on you Yes even as my own ship was capsizing Her star was rising My spirits failing her ship sailing She'd be out hobnobbing with deal makers Movers and shakers I'd be in a quandary Doin’ shopping and laundry Sorry state Oh fickle fate Why do you hate me so And naturally she started to resent me Want to reinvent me Dreams fall through try something new I felt just like a deer caught in the headlights Maybe I could build websites But wait a minute my heart’s not in it In a fix Old dog new tricks Life kicks you when you’re down As she became more angry and frustrated I recalled how much I hated Yelling screaming threats I'm leaving! And though I grew to like the extra leg room The his and her bedroom Made me so sad miss what we had Oh woe is me It's clear to see We're going to be just friends Then back from burning man she seemed distracted So strangely acted Lost in thought bright red when caught And gradually the pieces came together She had met Mr. Forever A real nice guy up on the playa Please endorse A quick divorce Of course I will my dear Some years have passed she tells me that she's happy And though it might sound kinda sappy In the end it's true that I am too 'Cause when you love someone as much as I did Sometimes it's got to be decided To let them go so they can grow She's safe and sound On higher ground His arms around her now I done my time He's next in line She's on his dime now
