There's so many times
When I feel all turned around
Where my feet are up high
And my head's on the ground
Where the world's gone and turned
Itself updside-down
When I'm hearing the sights
And watching the sounds


That's why I love you
You make everything great
When life's roads all wind
You help make them straight
You're classy and bright
Like diamonds and pearls
You're my rightside-up cake
In my upside-down world


There's so many days
When I can't make it work
The car's broken down
Or I've ruined my shirt
It's all gone to hell
And I just want to quit
You pull me aside
And it's fixed with a kiss


That's why I love you
You make everything great
When life's roads all wind
You help make them straight
You're classy and bright
Like diamonds and pearls
You're my rightside-up cake
In my upside-down world


It's been fifty years
That you've been by my side
You're as perfect today
As you were as a bride
I've let myself get
A bit out of my prime
I'm crazy and old now
But you look past the grime


That's why I love you
You make everything great
When life's roads all wind
You help make them straight
You're classy and bright
Like diamonds and pearls
You're my rightside-up cake
In my upside-down world


How long this road's been
And the trials we've faced
You've always been with me
A shining picture of grace
It's time that I go now
The Light calls me away
You take my hand in yours
But you don't ask me to stay


That's why I love you
You make everything great
When life's roads all wind
You help make them straight
You're classy and bright
Like diamonds and pearls
You're my rightside-up cake
In my upside-down world
For some reason that phrase has been bouncing around in my head for a couple of weeks now, so I finally decided to do something to get it out of there. I put these lyrics together, as a bit of a tune. I was picturing it as a country-western tune, so if you can put a bit of a Texan drawl with it, it might sound a little better. I thought it turned out pretty well, but comments are more than welcome. Let me know what you think. Thanks and enjoy.
