To my wife-to-be

I wanted to save this until after the nikkah ceremony, but what the heck. I don't normally listen to English music (meaning pop, rock, cock etc), my whole life I've been socialised to listen to Tamil Songs by Illaiaraaja and now, a lot of ARR and Yuvan. But I came across this song that I felt really captured the essence of what it means to be married. I don't particularly like the tune etc. But the lyrics are super.

I dedicate the song to my future wife-to-be (who goes under the guise of Yashila in the blogosphere).

Grow Old With You

(by Adam Sandler in the Wedding Singer)

I wanna make you smile

Whenever you're sad

Carry you around when your arthritis is bad

Oh all I wanna do is grow old with you.

I'll get your medicines

When your tummy aches

Build you a fire if the furnace breaks

Oh it could be so nice growing old with you

I'll miss you, kiss you

Give you my coat when you are cold

Need you, feed you

I'll even let you hold the remote control

So let me do the dishes on our kitchen sink

Put you to bed when you've had too much to drink

Oh I could be the man who grows old with you

I wanna grow old with you

I'll miss you, kiss you
Give you my coat when you are cold
Need you, feed you
I'll even let you hold the remote control

Oh I could be the man who grows old with you
I wanna grow old with you...
