Story Behind The Song

Inspired by a couple I met at a wedding

Song Description

Dedicated to all the couples (like Sis and Tony) who've found the secret of staying together 40 or more years

Lyrics

The oldest couple at the table
They?d been married forty years
Someone asked how?d you do it
Tell us your secret
They smiled and said

You could say we?re a
Work in progress
Just two stubborn people
Tryin? our hardest
But our work is hardly done
Cause after forty years of tryin? to
Change each other
We?re both still stuck at square one.

They talked some more
Then the band started to play and
They both got up on the floor
They danced hand in hand
Like they?d danced together
For a whole lifetime before
And the couples still seated
Wondered aloud
If work uncompleted
Was what real love?s about

They heard them say they?re a
Work in progress
Just two stubborn people
Tryin? their hardest
But their work is hardly done
Cause after forty years of tryin? to
Change each other
They?re both still stuck...




She tells him he should learn to cook
He says who needs a book to
Fire up the grill
He wants her to learn about cars
Forget movie stars
She says like hell I will

Your could say they?re a
Work in progress
Just two stubborn people
Tryin? their hardest
But their work is hardly done
Cause after forty years of tryin? to
Change each other
They?re both still stuck at square

And you could say that in a way
It?s like their romance
Has only just begun
Cause after forty years of tryin? to
Change each other
They?re both still stuck at square one
