"I've Just Seen A Face"

Eighteen years ago today, when we were both eighteen, I took my wife out on our first date, to a little street festival in downtown Albany, NY.  That night I walked her home and, against the door to her dorm room, the sounds of The Arsenio Hall Show faintly playing through the wood, we had our first kiss.

Starting today, I've had in her my life more that I've had her out of it.  And that's the most wonderful thing I can think to say.

My favorite Beatles song is "I've Just Seen a face" because it reminds me of that day, eighteen years ago.

Honey, I love you.

I've just seen a face,
I can't forget the time or place
Where we just met
She's just the girl for me
And I want all the world to see
We've met, mmm-mmm-mmm-m'mmm-mmm

Had it been another day
I might have looked the other way
And I'd have never been aware
But as it is I'll dream of her
Tonight, da-da-da-da-da-da

Falling, yes I am falling,
And she keeps calling
Me back again

I have never known
The like of this, I've been alone
And I have missed things
And kept out of sight
But other girls were never quite
Like this, da-da-da-da-da-da

Falling, yes I am falling,
And she keeps calling
Me back again

Falling, yes I am falling,
And she keeps calling
Me back again

I've just seen a face,
I can't forget the time or place
Where we just met
She's just the girl for me
And I want all the world to see
We've met, mmm-mmm-mmm-da-da-da

Falling, yes I am falling,
And she keeps calling
Me back again
Falling, yes I am falling,
And she keeps calling
Me back again
Oh, falling, yes I am falling,
And she keeps calling
Me back again
