This is Us

About the song I added to the blog... it is a song by Mark Knopfler (formerly of Dire Straits) and Emmylou Harris. Two of Kurt and I's (kurt and me? ... Kurt and My....oh whatever) OUR faves... It is a song that came out AFTER Kurt and I were married, from the "All the Road Running" CD. We both immediately loved the song - and thought "this IS us" ... we hadn't even had Liam at that point... now that we do, it really fits. Because our Baby boy IS our pride and joy.


If anyone remembers... please play this song at our 25th anniversary...

Here are the lyrics - the version I posted is a live version, and a little harder to hear than the CD version.

This is us down at the Mardi Gras

This is us In your Daddy's Car

You were the missing link

Yeah, I'd had a little too much to drink,now

Too long in the sun

Having too much fun

You and me and our memories

This is usRocking at the barbecue

Yeah, when we said I do

Hand jiving on the Ballroom floor

You in that wedding coat you wore

And you in that amazing dress

I was stoned on love I guess

You and me we were meant to be

This is us

This is us on our Honeymoon

In our hotel room

Sitting by the wishing well

Checking out of the love motel

Making plans for the sunshine state

Waiting at the terminal gate

You and me making history

This is us

And our baby boy

With our pride and joy

You at the Sunday Game

Standing next to What's hisname?

On our Anniversary

With the family

You and me and our memories

This is us
