Story behind the song
I was inspired by all those who flocked to the court houses across America after marriage liscences began being issued in San Francisco. I think I found just the right words to demonstrate that "Love" cannot be legislated.
Lyrics
VERSE ONE --------- Jody met Johnny when they both were 21... They were young and single, just looking for some fun. They hit it off right away, but how could they know, Seven years later, how close that they would grow. CHORUS ------- The twist to this story is that their love was labeled "gay"... The law said they couldn't marry, but they did it anyway. They loved each other; yeah, he loved him... It was "forever" for both of them. VERSE TWO ---------- So, they had a ceremony on a bright sunny day... They had their own mothers give each of them away. They read the vows they'd written, then both said, "I do." A Unitarian minister proclaimed, "You can kiss the groom." REPEAT CHORUS REFRAIN -------- And who am I to deny that feeling reeling deep inside that tells one being that he's seeing his soulmate or hers? And who are you to subdue the hopes and dreams of the ones who cannot define, by your design, his "true love" or his. And what's more, the Truth in store is so profound that I am sure the cCreator of All things sanctions love that's pure. VERSE THREE ------------ Jody met Johnny when they both were 21... They were young and single, just looking for some fun. They hit it off right away, but how could they know, Twenty years later, how close that they would grow. REPEAT CHORUS VERSE FOUR ----------- Then one day the mayor, found it in his heart to acknowledge that the had vowed to never part. They gathered at the courthouse, with other couples who had been denied, to certify what they already knew. FINALE ------- The twist to this story is their love had always been above the law because of what their love had given them. They loved each other; yeah, he loved him... It was "forever" for both of them. They loved each other; yeah, she loved her... It was "forever", both of them were sure. They loved each other; yeah, he loved him... It was "forever" for both of them.
