A FROGS TALE

{verse 1] The evening news was on two dogs were at our feet You were curled up beside me I was half asleep There was a segment about a star who had seen some miles and tears. Said he was back on the market again After four wives in 13 years. [verse 2] That’s when you leaned across the couch and said Darling He sounds a lot like you After all your romancing your many wives All the partners you’ve been through. I paused the TV news met your knowing stare. And with the most hurt face I could make I said now let me clear some air. It was just the fairy tale I had to live it was what I was born to do To trek this lonely road I walked Till I finally came to you. You see the fairy tale I had to live The lonely road I trod To find the princess mean’t for me I had to kiss so many frogs. [chorus] Yes I drew a breath, like a storyteller about to start The well worn, golden story you now know off by heart The one where I had to wander across the muddy ground Kissing all those hideous frogs until a princess could be found.. [ verse 3] You gave me that look the one that always makes me smile And we both laughed like it was brand new after all this while You see we have been together now 22 years Twenty two years sitting here watching the TV glow Twenty two years since our fairy tale started Watching our love grow. Yes I had to walk that muddy ground kissing all those hideous frogs Till a princess could be found. [chorus] Yes I drew a breath, like a storyteller about to start The well worn, golden story you now know off by heart The one where I had to wander across the muddy ground Kissing all those hideous frogs Till a princess could be found yes I finally found my princess
