I Can't Help It

(Gary)

Jan and I have been married over 30 years now. I wrote this in 1980 after just 4 years of wedded bliss. I just thought I knew what love was back then!!!

LYRICS
I can't help it if I get excited
I can't help it if I laugh out loud
I can't help it if I've fallen in love
and even if I could I wouldn't keep myself from it, no.

Do you remember when we said hello?
Do you remember where we used to go?
Do you recall our early telephone calls?
I've never kissed another girl from that day forward, no.

I surely could have, I've had my chance
And more than one I'd say
But like I told you the day we wed
"My love is yours to stay."

I can't help it if I'm feeling high
I do believe that I'm a lucky guy
To have a love that never seems to die
So many people want it
You and I have come upon it, yeah.

I'd like to think that it's a downhill road
And we could coast right through
For certain times will come when we'll unload
But what our love will do, is

To keep us happy keep us satisfied
To keep us trying even when we're tried
To keep together everything that we've sown
To keep a flame burnin' in our hearts and in our home
