Best Girl's Song (Mrs. SealPoet's birthday)

Best Girl's Song

I met you many years ago when I was still quite young
You were a single mother, I wasn't ready for a son
And so you sort of called it off but still we kept in touch
You called for me when we both were free
And I thank you very much

Chorus
You are my best friend, my beloved wife
You're the best thing in my life
Sometimes the best lover in the world
And always - you're my Best Girl.

So when I'm ready for a son, and yours was most full grown
When we met up second time around I'd got two of my own
You help me raise them, step-mothering. Some might say you're my crutch
But someday, you know, the boys will know
And thank you very much

Our wedding day reception, it was held in our back yard
So how'd we make it festive without working too hard?
A pair of plastic pink flamingoes, you said a pair's too much
But a hundred makes a statement
And I thank you very much

I don't know how you are sexier than you were those years before
Maybe it's experience, most likely it's something more
I only know you are wonderful, and very nice to touch
I kind of think you like it too
And I thank you very much

There's things I know things I have seen watching you through the years
By this point in my song I know your face is damp with tears
If I'm singing in a public place I might just be dutch
And I know you'll soon forgive me
And I thank you very much.

A Semi-centenarian, that doesn't sound so old
The spirit cannot tarnish when it's made of finest gold
You really do not look your age, if I may say as such
You don't look a day past forty-nine
And I thank you very much.

You are my best friend, my beloved wife
I am so proud to share your life
Sometimes the best person in the world
And always - you're my Best Girl.
