Husband

Today, is BMW DAY! It is the 18th anniversary of my proposal, "Will you Be My Wife (BMW)?". Refer to last year's posting "Memories of Love" on the significance of 28 Nov 1990 to Singapore as a nation and to us as a couple: http://happyvalley-prof.blogspot.com/2007/11/memories-of-love.html

Not long after we were married, my wife gave me a small card, which is now framed and placed in my office. Entitled Husband, the card reads,

A good man
is hard to find,
a good husband
harder yet.
But I found both
and married him,
the best I ever met.
He's given me freely
the best years
of his life.
So I happily commit myself
to being his loving wife.

A romantic song which I have chosen to mark this 18th BMW anniversay is "It Might be You". The song ends with the chorus, "Maybe it's you..., maybe it's you..., I've been waiting for all of my life." Sung by Stephen Bishop, it was the theme song of the 1982 film Tootsie, starring Dustin Hoffman and Jessica Lange. The song became a popular song played at weddings during the 1980s. Below is the lyrics of the song and a video clip
.
Time...
I've been passing time watching trains go by,
All of my life...
Lying on the sand, watching seabirds fly
Wishing there would be
Someone waiting home for me...

Chorus:
Something's telling me it might be you
It's telling me it might be you...
All of my life...
Looking back as lovers go walking past...
All of my life...
Wondering how they met and what makes it last
If I found the place
Would I recognize the face?
[click to play, but remember to pause the IMEEM background music first].
.
Chorus:
Something's telling me it might be you
It's telling me it might be you...
All of my life...
..
Bridge:
So many quiet walks to take
So many dreams to wake
And we've so much love to make
I think we're gonna need some time
Maybe all we need is time...
And it's telling me it might be you
All of my life...
..
I've been saving love songs and lullabies
And there's so much more
No one's ever heard before...
.
Chorus:
Something's telling me it might be you
It's telling me it might be you... All of my life... (3x's)
Maybe it's you... Maybe it's you... I've been waiting for all of my life.
