[ Sometimes I Catch Myself Staring Off Into The
     Distance ]
[ If You Triy To Pull Me Back In ]
[ I Would Not Offer Any Resistance ]

[ I Seem To Be Looking Past The Rainbow ]
[ But Not Looking For That Pot Of Gold ]
[ How Did I Ever Know? ]
[ That I Would Still Be Looking When I Am Old ]

[ I Always Have Regrets That I Have Not Ever Given
     My Beautiful, Understanding Wife ]
[ The Kind Of Rich, Fulfilling Life ]

[ That She Has Earned & Deserved All Of This Time ]
[ I Don’t Have Much To Give ]
[ Except This Silly Rhyme ]

[ In 1998 We Both Started Our Respective Careers ]
[ About The Same Week ]
[ She Has Continued For Over 23 Years ]

[ I Lasted Just Five ]
[ Before My Career Took A Nose Dive ]

[ For The Next 15 Years I Did Not Play So Good, In
     The Game Called Life ]
[ Oftentimes I Think The Grass Could Be Greener On The
     Other Side Of The Fence ]
[ For My Wife ]

[ Every Morning That I Wake Up, There Is One Thing That
     I Am Sure ]
[ The Main Reason That Gets Me Out Of Bed, It Is Because
     Of Her ]

[ Sometimes The Look On Her Face Says That She Knows ]
[ She Would Find Happiness Again ]
[ If I Would Just Let Her Go ]

[ I Feel That I Could Go Missing & Not Be Missed For
     Very Long ]
[ Nobody Would Think Anything Was Wrong ]

[ I Know We Just Celebrated Year Number 25 ]
[ I Also Celebrate @ 57, That I Am Still Alive ]

[ I Have Always Wanted To Give Her The Best ]
[ Now All I Can Do Is Rest ]
[ I Finally Have Been Able To Know Some Of Life’s Answers ]
[ But Murphy’s Law Has Changed The Test ]

[ She Is The Best Part Of Our Team ]
[ As My Wife ]
[ She Became The Answer To My Dreams ]

[ How Do I Know That She Hasn’t Been Looking Over
     The Fence Looking @ The 1000’s Of Miles Of Green Grass ]
[ I Really Fear The Answer ]
[ So I Don’t Have The Courage To Ask ]

[ My Body Seems To Breaking Down Right Before
    My Very Eyes ]
[ In The Mornings I Find That Everything Hurts When
     I Rise ]
[ I Am Always Scared To Go Away ]
[ For The Day ]
[ Fearful That There Will Be A Surprise ]

[ That She Left To Find If The Grass Is Really Greener ]
[ Someone Who Has A Much Healthier & More Positive
     Demeanor ]

[ So Then This Story Will Just Fade To Black ]
[ Because Once You Go … There Is No Looking Back ]
