A baby's born in the middle of the night

In the local delivery room

They grab his feet, smack him until he cries

He goes home the next afternoon

Before you know it, he's off to school

And then he graduates in May

Goes out and gets a Phd. and then cures all sorts of things

Wins the Noble prize and saves a million different lives

The world's a better place for all he's done

It's funny when you think about the reason he's alive

Is all because two people fell in love



Right now at a picnic shelter

Down by Cane Creek

You'll find potato salad, hot dogs and baked beans

The whole Wilson family's lined up filling their paper plates

And they've drove or flown in here from fifteen different states

Stanley Wilson says that sixty years ago he knew

That Miss Emma Tucker was the one

Now five generations get together every June

And all because two people fell in love



Yeah, there ain't nothing not affected

When two hearts get connected

All that is, will be or ever was

Every single choice we make

Every breath we get to take

Is all because two people fell in love



While I recall a young man

Who was drifting aimlessly

And a young waitress who seemed lonesome as could be

But in a little cafe right off of 14th Avenue

With a whole lot of help from up above

We met and things sure turned around for me and you

And all because two people fell in love



And baby, there ain't nothing not affected

When two hearts connected

All that is, will be or ever was

I'm glad your dad could not resist

Your momma's charms and you exist

All because two people fell in love



You know to me it's all so clear

Everyone of us is here

All because two people fell in love



A baby's born in the middle of the night

In the local delivery room

They grab his feet smack him until he cries

He goes home the next afternoon
