about

"My long-overdue tribute to my wife. We have been together since high school and are still going strong. I wanted to capture all that in an upbeat, non-sappy tune. Still a ton of fun to play live!"

-Micah

lyrics

Greener eyes
Two times said goodbye
And it took
More than a man to save this world

Smiles and tears
Fifteen loving years
And I’ve been sitting here
Thinking about a girl

Beauty in full bloom
Met your eyes across the room
I was defied to define this fire
You lit in my soul

Months went slipping by
I had your face stuck in my mind
And when November stole a kiss
I knew it’d never get old

Is that so wrong?
Now I finally wrote you this song

Ain’t no love like Marie
Would a better man be better at telling her so?
Am I everything you hoped I could be
‘Cause you were coming up strong
And I was moving along

Now the years gone by
They simply fan the flames
There ain’t no star in my sky
That could outshine your name

And I’m fumbling over words
Mostly drunk and half-asleep
This river runs wide
But I still don’t know how deep

Know how deep
And I got this promise to keep

Ain’t no love like Marie
Would a better man be better at telling her so?
Am I everything you hoped I could be
‘Cause you were coming up strong
And I was moving along

**

Ain’t no love like Marie
Would a better man be better at telling her so?
Am I everything you hoped I could be
‘Cause you were coming up strong
And I was moving along
Now I finally wrote you this song
Is that so wrong?
