Me and my husband have another 2 and a half years to go but we were having a general discussion about having whether or not to have a big blowout. One of the side discussions was an ‘our song’ song. I love Champaigne’s How About Us. The chorus goes like this: \*Some people are made for each other Some people can love one another for life How 'bout us? Some people can hold it together Last through all kinds of weather How 'bout us? \* Hubby thinks this is more like a wedding song. So we’re getting divorced over it. Two questions– 1. Don’t you think this is a great 25 years together song? We are ‘some people’, I say. 2. Save our marriage! List other ‘been together for a long time’ songs. Perhaps the teeming millions can think of one me and hubs can both agree on. ---

Congratulations! I like the lyrics to your song, though I’ve not heard the tune. I like Willie Nelson’s “I’ve Loved You All Over the World” _You’re my buddy, my pal, my friend It will be that way until the end… I’ll always follow my heart Wherever it takes me And until death do us part I’ll love you all over the world_ It’s not super-gooey, but I’ve seldom heard a song that talks about being friends with your spouse. To make it to 25, it seems like you must be good buddies as well as lovers. Although it’s a bit lite rock-ish, the Indigo Girls’ “Power of Two” has great lyrics about marriage: _You know the things that I am afraid of I’m not afraid to tell And if we ever leave a legacy Its that we loved each other well Cause Ive seen the shadows of so many people Trying on the treasures of youth But a road that fancy and fast Ends in a fatal crash And I’m glad we got off To tell you the truth_ ---

Congratulations, **Typo**! **Biggirl** , you and I must have married about the same time. When was your wedding day? Ours was January 1, 1986. All of the songs that we like are old standards or jazz standards generally. I think we’re a generation ahead of you. I think that [this link](http://www.tsrocks.com/k/kenny_rankin_texts/what_matters_most.html) will get you to the lyrics and maybe a recording of Kenny Rankin’s “What Matters Most.” Just about anyone can like his music. Congratulations to you! ---

Maybe not what you are looking for, but I love Shania Twain’s “ **Still the One** ”: \*(When I first saw you, I saw love. And the first time you touched me, I felt love. And after all this time, you’re still the one I love.) Looks like we made it Look how far we’ve come my baby We mighta took the long way We knew we’d get there someday They said, “I bet they’ll never make it” But just look at us holding on We’re still together still going strong (You’re still the one) You’re still the one I run to The one that I belong to You’re the one I want for life (You’re still the one) You’re still the one that I love The only one I dream of You’re still the one I kiss good night\* ---

[Stuck with you](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-laHDhz59U) [/QUOTE] I was wondering what was twisted about the Huey Lewis song. Then I followed the link. NOT quite the same song :eek: 😉 We have added Voltaire’s Anniversary song to our list. Of course, we’re also playing “Hurts So Good” (Mellencamp)\* and Weird Al Yankovic’s “You Make Me”. \*our IRL first initials are ‘S’ and ‘M’. This did not go unnoticed by our college friends.
