Reading Robyn’s entries about her anniversary have me feeling sentimental. (I only play a cold heart bitch on TV - I’m really a big ball of sap who cries during diaper commercials.)
I suppose I feel somewhat sappy because my husband and I have also been married for 7 years now - doing the deed just 2 months before Robyn and Todd. Our song was, and is, True Companion by Marc Cohn. Jim picked it out - I couldn’t decide and was sort of stuck on In Your Eyes by Peter Gabriel, which was also my sisters unofficial song…so I didn’t really want to use it. He had the Marc Cohn CD and played it for me. And like Jen, it was as if time stood still. This was it - this was our song, I was marrying this man, and this was our life. We’d be together forever. When we’re old and grey, we’ll still be together. Leaning on one another and remembering all the places we’ve been and the things we’ve done. I can’t listen to this song without tearing up!
Baby I’ve been searching like everybody else
Can’t say nothing different about myself
Sometimes I’m an angel
And sometimes I’m cruel
And when it comes to love
I’m just another fool
Yes, I’ll climb a mountain
I’m gonna swim the sea
There ain’t no act of God girl
Could keep you safe from me
My arms are reaching out
Out across this canyon
I’m asking you to be my true companion
True companion
True companion
So don’t you dare and try to walk away
I’ve got my heart set on our wedding day
I’ve got this vision of a girl in white
Made my decision that it’s you allright
And when I take your hand
I’ll watch my heart set sail
I’ll take my trembling fingers
And I’ll lift up your veil
Then I’ll take you home
And with wild abandon
Make love to you just like a true companion
You are my true companion
I got a true companion
True companion
When the years have done irreparable harm
I can see us walking slowly arm in arm
Just like the couple on the corner do
‘Cause girl I will always be in love with you
And when I look in your eyes
I’ll still see that spark
Until the shadows fall
Until the room grows dark
Then when I leave this Earth
I’ll be with the angels standin’
I’ll be out there waiting for my true companion
Just for my true companion
True companion
True companion
