Two People Fell in Love

A baby's born in the middle of the night in a local delivery room

They grab his feet, smack him till he cries he goes home the next afternoon

'Fore you know it he's off to school and then he graduates in May

Goes out and gets a Ph.D. and then cures all sorts of things

Wins a Nobel Prize and saves a million different lives

The world's a better place for all he's done

It's funny when you think about the reason he's alive

It's all because two people fell in love

Right now at a picnic shelter down by Caney Creek

You'll find potato salad hot dogs and baked beans

The whole Wilson family's lined up fillin' their paper plates

They've drove or flown in here from fifteen different states

Well Stanley Wilson says that sixty years ago he knew

That Miss Emma Tucker was the one

Now five generations get together every June

All because two people fell in love

[1st Chorus]

There ain't nothin' not affected

When two hearts get connected

All that is, will be, or ever was

Every single choice we make

Every breath we get to take

Is all because two people fell in love

Well, I recall a young man who was driftin' aimlessly

And a young waitress who seemed lonesome as could be

But in a little cafð³ right off of fourteenth avenue

With a whole lotta help from up above

We met and things sure turned around for me and you

And all because two people fell in love

[2nd Chorus]

Baby, there ain't nothin' not affected

When two hearts get connected

All that is, will be, or ever was

I'm glad your dad could not resist

Your mama's charms and you exist

All because two people fell in love

[Tag]

You know, to me it's all so clear

Every one of us is here

All because two people fell in love

A baby's born in the middle of the night in a local delivery room

They grab his feet, smack him till he cries he goes home the next afternoon
