Two People Fell In Love

A baby's born in the middle of the night, in a local delivery room

They grab his feet, smack him till he cries, he goes home the next afternoon

'Fore you know it, he's off to school and then he graduates in May

Goes out and gets a PhD and then cures all sorts of things

Wins a Nobel Prize and saves a million different lives

The world's a better place for all he's done

It's funny when you think about the reason he's alive

Is all because two people fell in love

Right now at a picnic shelter down by Caney Creek

You'll find potato salad, hotdogs and baked beans

The whole Wilson family's lined up, fillin' their paper plates

And they've drove or flown in here from fifteen different states

Well, Stanley Wilson says that 60 years ago he knew

That Ms. Emma Tucker was the one

Now five generations get together every June

And all because two people fell in love

Yeah, there ain't nothin' not affected when two hearts get connected

All that is, will be, or ever was

Every single choice we make, every breath we get to take

Is all because two people fell in love

Well, I recall a young man who was driftin' aimlessly

And a young waitress who seemed lonesome as could be

But in a little cafe right off of 14th Avenue

With a whole lotta help from up above

We met and things sure turned around for me and you

And all because two people fell in love

Baby, there ain't nothin' not affected when two hearts get connected

All that is, will be, or ever was

I'm glad your dad could not resist your mama's charms, and you exist

All because two people fell in love

You know, to me, it's all so clear, everyone of us is here

All because two people fell in love

A baby's born in the middle of the night, in a local delivery room

They grab his feet, smack him till he cries, he goes home the next afternoon
