Moonstruck

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!
