lyrics

My fiancé
She’s got a father in Tapei
Her mother’s down in Bangalore
Trying to find a way

To get back to the city
Where she met her husband first
When he leaned across the table
And he said, “I like your purse.”

All she could do
Was to keep from falling through
And when they got together
The end result was you

I found the secret to this life
I found that everything's all right
When I found you

They moved to Minnesota
Making angels in the snow
He dragged her out to Bowstring Lake
With ice skates in tow

Blinded by the midnight moon
She held his hand so tight
He couldn’t feel his fingers
As they glided through the night

All she could do
Was to keep from falling through
And when they got together
The end result was you

I found the secret to this life
I found that everything's all right
When I found you
