i wrote this song for my sister christie's wedding to our canadian friend jason. it is very much a soppy love song ! :) (strings and all). I asked them to give me a list of reasons why they loved each other, but when i finally got them it seemed to work better to just watch the two of them - oh little love birds :P

lyrics

they gave me ten reasons, ten reasons each why they loved each other
they both sat to think letting words tumble out
and some were first thoughts
some were to please
some were from friends
do you remember what you told me about him
you said you liked his arms
and he says he likes the way that you talked
and she smiles too much when they speak on the phone
and he sits proudly watching her cross the room

one way ticket
leaving alone
they caught each other and found a new home

they gave me ten reasons, ten reasons each why they loved each other
and here they are standing with light in their eyes
lost in there thoughts
being together
both unaware
that we see it too
we were taught when we were young
don't worry sweetheart one day it'll come
you'll find a love as rare as a pearl
even in waters half way cross the world

one way ticket
leaving alone
they caught each other and found a new home
