Ok, I adore this song. I hear it on the radio every so often and Mike sings it to me in the car sometimes. It's just a sort of silly song that makes me laugh and I love, love, love it when Mike sings it to me. I'm posting it because I finally broke down and bought it from I-tunes. Ah, yes.
She is My Everything - John Prine
She is my everything
From her suntanned shoulders
Down to the freckles
On her wedding ring
Her feet are so warm
They could melt the snow
In the early Spring
She is my everything
She goes everywhere
from Copenhagen
To making eggs and bacon
down in Jackson Square
I'd like to drive a Cadillac
The color of her long black hair
She goes everywhere
Kisses that come
all the way from China
Kinda remind her
of memories of Spain
If I get lost you can always find her
Standing right beside me in the rain
She uses Ever-ready
batteries to keep
Her electrical appliances
a-going steady
She can do fourteen things at once
And then her phone'll ring
She is my everything
She knows everybody
From Muhammad Ali
To teaching Bruce Lee
How to do karate
She can lead a parade
While putting on her shades
In her Masarati
She knows everybody
Kisses that come
all the way from China
Kinda remind her
of memories of Spain
If I get lost you can always find her
Standing right beside me in the rain
She is my everything
When she wakes up in the morning
That's when the birdies
Start to sing
When I hear her voice
I'll tell you boys
I forget everything
She is my everything
She is my everything
