A song for a wonderful woman who I've never met.

lyrics

I just wanted you to know, though it's not news to you
You've been the center of my world and my kids sure like you, too
Ever since we met it's been a pleasure to be friends
I know you already know this but since we hit this bend
I just thought I'd tell you because it seems only fair
That each day's been like St. Patrick's Day in Tiananmen Square

I just wanted you to know that somehow it'll be OK
But for all these years I've treasured waking up with you each day
And if this book could be rewritten, if a new chapter could appear
Then I'd write it all this instant to make sure you'd stay right here
And I'll thank you for the good times, either way, thanks for the life we share
Each day's been like St. Patrick's Day in Tiananmen Square

I just wanted you to know as I sit here in this seat
I'm so thankful every day that we had the chance to meet
I just hope we have the chance to see so much more
What marvels these next decades on this Earth could have in store
But whatever time we've got, we've got no time to spare
Each day's been like St. Patrick's Day in Tiananmen Square
