Never My Love
The Association
~~*~~
You ask me if there'll come a time
When I grow tired of you
Never, my love
Never, my love
You wonder if this heart of mine
Will lose its desire for you
Never, my love
Never, my love
What makes you think love will end
When you know that my whole life depends
On you? (on you)
Never, my love
Never, my love
You say you fear I'll change my mind
That I won't require you
Never, my love
Never, my love
How can you think love will end
When I've asked you to spend your whole life
With me? (with me, with me)
Never, my love (never, my love)
Never, my love (never, my love)
Never, my love (never, my love)
Never, my love (never, my love)

I knew from a very young age that I would never marry.
So when I was voted "Most Likely to Be Married by 21"
by my silly high-school classmates, I laughed in their faces.
You see, I was a completely devoted, committed, and faithful boyfriend,
and I loved couplehood and what came with it,
but I never wanted to stand at the head of an aisle,
watching as my bride-to-be walked solemnly towards me.
My silly classmates mistook my simple "like the whole
committed couple routine" for "dude wants to be married."
Nuh-uh.
I have always had serious issues with the institution,
especially as it is today.
And by "today" I mean the balance of my life to this point.
But that's a discussion for another time and another place.
I have a strong romantic side to my spirit,
one that enjoys fantasizing about a marriage institution that
I would like to be part of, and the people (women) who would
support such an improved institution; and so, to that end,
I enjoy projecting into that fantasy at times
and thinking about such things as what songs I would
want played at my wedding.
This is most definitely one of them.
It's rich, it's full, it's beautifully written.
It's simple and elegant; it doesn't trifle or pretend
to be something it isn't; it comes at you and is gone
like the sweet smell of spring lilacs,
leaving you blinking and entranced.
The harmonies on this piece are absolute perfection.
"Most Likely to Be Married by 21."
What a joke.
