About the song: This is a fast, joyful love song (after a slow intro) about what it really takes to make a marriage work over the years - the kind of view rarely heard in pop music. A great number for weddings, Valentine programs and divorce proceedings, the song could be taken as the sequel to "It's Time For Roses". Here's how the couple that meets in the bookstore is doing 20 years down the road. Note: Drop the intro, slow down the rest of the song, change the tempo to a steady 3/4 and you might have a hit country & western waltz (seriously).

Gender point of view: I think of the song as coming from the perspective of a married man since it's guys who usually need to learn what long-term commitment means. But there's no reason a woman couldn't be in this position too. The song can also be done as a duet (see the lyrics page).
