about

I wrote this song for my parents to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary.

lyrics

Two of a kind, since forever
You keep on keepin' on, like a pair of dice
Packin' it in, till the sun sets
Listening to your hearts, and growing ever

She's a little bit younger
Gotta face like an angel
Raised up in California
Not too bad off

He's a handsome devil
Got a clef in his chin
No one knows where he's been
He did a lot of life solo

Friends of friends for a while
And occupado con amigos otros
You didn't see it comin' from the start
You bumped along and didn't notice

Chorus

He took a risk, she wasn't sure
You weren't ready for what was coming
Nothing prepared you for, the rest of your lives

Wedding bells rang, on the west coast
Sand between your toes. Nobody knew what you'd do
A trip to Europe and those voice were calling

Snoopy and orange trees welcomed all three
Your hands got full late in the sixties
The life you lived - Gone forever in a cloud of kids

The ice cream man - and the broker
The court reporter, with your carbon copies
Drawing houses and selling vacuums
Moving up she's a paralegal

Screeching tires and AYSO
Goodbye Malibu - Goodbye padres
You took a leap of faith and
We ended up in a fruit basket

One afternoon - came a paper
Which changed the context
Of your careers and changed forever
Your outlook on the future

In the church of skiing
You were the pastors
Showing your sons a new set of masters
Where fun and recreation were at the top of the world.

Go on guy. Go on gal.
Here’s to you, and here’s to now
Tomorrow will tell, of two lives lived well

Go on honey. Go on babe.
You got your mountains and I’ve got my cave
Two of a kind, since forever yeah

Go on Stefan. Go on Steve.
You got your Lakers, and I’ve got my trees
Two of a kind, since forever yeah

Go on mom. Go on dad.
You’re the best parents that we’ve ever had
Two of a kind, since forever yeah

Go on lovers. Go on world.
Go on guys. Go on girls.
Whether it’s straight or whether it curls - Two of a Kind!
