Story behind the song
I took part in a challenge to write a song using only the chords Em, F, Am, and C.
I sat down and started writing what was on my mind, which narrowed down to this. I arranged and recorded it in one day.
Lyrics
Paper Anniversary
(c) 2009 Ted Johnson
Well I suppose that I feel lucky,
Though I don't believe in luck.
It's the paper anniversary.
We woke up on the couch.
We can't afford to go to Paris,
And show off my crappy French.
Got a couch in San Francisco;
"The Paris of the West."
I don't want to think of myself
As some ignorant f***
Who believes in luck.
It's a short step away
From a fool who prays
For a better pay
And does nothing.
I never thought I'd marry,
But now I have a wife.
I love everything about her.
I'm gonna say it twice.
I love everything about her.
She deserves the artful words that fail me now.
I love everything about her.
She deserves a better plan
Besides "somehow."
I agree with the previous post, just perfect. This is one well wrought song Ted.
