A baby's born
in the middle of the night,
in the local delivery room
They grab his feet,
smack him till he cries.
He goes home
the next afternoon.
Before you know it
he's off to school,
and then he
graduates in May
Goes out and gets a Ph.D.
and then cures
all sorts of things.
Wins the Nobel Prize
and saves a million
different lives
The world's a better place
for all he's done.
It's funny when you think
about the reason he's alive
Is all because
two people fell in love
Right now
at a picnic shelter
down by Canyon Creek
You'll find potato salad,
hot dogs and baked beans.
The whole Wilson family's
lined up
fillin' their paper plates
And they drove or flown
in here from fifteen
different states
Stanley Wilson says
that sixty years ago
he knew,
that Miss Emma Tucker
was the one.
Now five generations
get together every June
And all because
two people fell in love.
Yeah, there ain't nothin'
not affected
When two hearts
get connected
All that is, will be,
or ever was.
Hey, Every single choice
we make. Every breath
we get to take
Is all because
two people fell in love.
Well, I recall a young man
who was
drifting aimlessly
And a young waitress
who seemed lonesome
as could be.
In a little cafe
right off of 14th Avenue,
With a whole lotta help
from up above
We met and things sure
turned around for
me and you.
And all because
two people fell in love.
Baby there ain't nothin'
not affected
When two hearts
get connected
All that is, will be,
or ever was.
I'm glad your dad
could not resist
Your moma's charms,
and you exist
All because
two people fell in love.
You know, to me
it's all so clear
Every one of us is here
All because
two people fell in love.
A baby's born
in the middle of the night,
in the local delivery room
They grab his feet,
smack him till he cries
He goes home
the next afternoon.
