Ruby Valentine
We were in Mrauk U, Myanmar for our 'Ruby Valentine'... and Sheila produced a card she'd been carrying around for a couple of weeks. I, needless to say, had suffered a foresight failure so I wrote her this song (in about 5 minutes) and sang it to her a cappella to make up for it... it was either that or singing ' My Old Dutch'. So let's get in early... happy anniversary to my beautiful wife of 40 years (on 10th june 2012).
Recorded at Chateau Shardeloes with thanks to Jon Garvey in Devon for the brass.

I’m yours,You’re mine, so you might as well sign on the dotted line
You’re mine, I’ve had it posted on the net
You’re mine, so there’s no point to fret or worry….y take it from me
You’re mine, in a thousand ways or more
You’re mine, at the risk of being a bore I’ll say
That you’ll never get away
You’ll hear those bells a ringing
All the angels singing
You’ll really learn that two is company
