My lines just have to be from ‘Something very Special’, as they sum up my girlfriend at the time we met.
That was forty years ago and she’s now my wife...

‘She could be straight-laced, or homespun
Or free and easy, on the run
She could be meek and mild or full of fun’

‘She liked country lanes and aeroplanes
And cigarettes would make her strange
And when she wanted you she made it plain’

The whole song takes me right back to 1979 and falling in love.

Thank you, Gordon Lightfoot.
