I am very much attracted to that notion of meeting someone special early on and having that person be the one forever after that, no matter what temptations may lurk.

lyrics

I met my gal when I was 8.
I first held her hand on our first date
I married her when I was 22
She's the one for me like I'm the one for you

I first met you when I was 38
Sorry to say, but that's a little too late
I love her just as much as when I was 22
She's the one for me like I'm the one for you

You say we can live for the islands tonight
You say you know how to make it all feel all right
You say we can be there tomorrow at first light
But she's the one I wanna hold tight

One night with you and I'll forget about fate
One night with you and I'll forget my soul mate
One night with you and I'll never feel blue
She's the one for me like I'm the one for you
