Moonstruck

Life is an amazing adventure Not for the faint of heart The ups and downs, the challenges Can weaken resolve from the start When you're a very young child Things seem so simple each day Biggest decision you're faced with What kind of game to play Girls don't enter the picture They're annoying and spoil the fun Whoever invited them to play? They can't even shoot a gun All they want to do each day Is play with their dolls and stuff They never want to go climbing trees Or wrestle to see who's tough Sooner or later we become teenagers The girls seem quite different now Our attitude towards them changes Suddenly we're moonstruck, kerpow! Next thing you know it's junior prom And we're trying to show we can dance Not much rhythm here I'm afraid Like a turkey walking round in a trance Meet your soul mate and then you marry Buy a house with a view of the lake Soon you're blessed with a couple of kids Then you're Grandpa for goodness sake Well that was a whirlwind journey Through a lifetime of happy and sad Now be honest, you loved every minute 'Twas the best time you've ever had!
