What They Never Tell You - Tyne Daly

You think it’s like in fairy tales and books

How the earth stops

And the clouds part

And the handsome prince falls right into your lap

And you’re kaput

You melt like cheese

But really, please!

Here’s what they never tell you

You never really know

You get a feeling

Feel a something

Take a breath and go

There’s no big crazy moment

Instead it’s bit by bit

You’ll make him laugh, he’ll make you soup

The shoe begins to fit

And what they never tell you;

You choose if he’s the one

He’s not a prince

He’s just a man

When all is said and done

'Cuz no one is that perfect

Life is not that neat

So take a chance

And take his hand

And jump with all four feet

You can’t live expecting your life to be Snow White or Cinderella

Where everything is pretty and pink and pretend

Just go and write your own story

With your best friend

And let a mother tell you

Marriage goes like this;

You have your spats

You have your doubts

You swing, you hit, you miss

But ask me if its worth it

Would I do it all again?

When I think of my girls

And I quell from my life

And I look at my Murray from so long ago

Sweetheart

Then you’ll really know
