I’ve played the fool so much longer than you
Been tied to a noose on a tree that’s yet to bloom

Older and wiser, younger and stubborn
I’ll never find one like you

One day my life, it will read:
“Husband and a family man of 3”
In black and white, summed up in ink
And I’ll have never said just what you meant to me
For what it’s worth is more than words you see
It’s everything Marie

No turn of phrase could possibly repay
The love that you gave, all the dreams that you forsake

Older and wiser, younger and stubborn
A constant reminder of truth

One day my life, it will read:
“Husband and a family man of 3”
In black and white, summed up in ink
And I’ll have never said just what you meant to me
For what it’s worth is more than words you see
It’s everything Marie
It’s everything Marie
It’s everything Marie
