My Ex-Girlfriend

TODAY IS A VERY SPECIAL DAY FOR ME. It is my ex-girlfriend’s birthday. I would not dare reveal her age, but as far as my kids are concerned, she’s 16 years old today.

She does look 16 to me so I don’t really mind, even though as a consequence I become very old in comparison.

I am not complaining. I am celebrating. For one fine February 11 some years ago God decided to create the woman of my dreams. And I woke up with my ex-girlfriend.

To my ex-girlfriend I dedicate these two songs:

I Will Be Here (by Stephen Curtis Chapman )

Tomorrow morning if you wake up and the sun does not appear

I, I will be here

If in the dark you lose sight of love

Hold my hand and have no fear

‘Cause I, I will be here

I will be here when you feel like being quiet

When you need to speak your mind

I will listen, and I will be here

when the laughter turns to crying

Through the winning, losing and trying, we’ll be together

‘Cause I will be here

Tomorrow morning if you wake up

and the future is unclear

I, I will be here

As sure as the season are made for change

Our lifetimes were made for years

So I, I will be here

I will be here and you can cry on my shoulder

when the mirror tells us we’re older

I will hold you, and I will be here

to watch you grow in beauty

and tell you all the things you are to me

I will be here

I will be true to the promise I have made

to you and to the One who gave you to me

-o0o-

Just the way you are (by Billy Joel)

Don’t go changing, to try and please me

You never let me down before
Don’t imagine you’re too familiar
And I don’t see you anymore
I wouldn’t leave you in times of trouble
We never could have come this far
I took the good times, I’ll take the bad times
I’ll take you just the way you are

Don’t go trying some new fashion
Don’t change the color of your hair
You always have my unspoken passion
Although I might not seem to care

I don’t want clever conversation
I never want to work that hard
I just want someone that I can talk to
I want you just the way you are.

I need to know that you will always be
The same old someone that I knew
What will it take ’till you believe in me
The way that I believe in you.

I said I love you, and that’s forever
And this I promise from the heart
I could not love you any better
I love you just the way you are.
