It was bound to happen and it happened today
Life turned to us to say, "I'm about to go your way"
And it's a simple situation now that we became us
There ain't no rust on the happiness bus

And it's Wednesday, Thursday, my day, Friday
Saturday, Sunday, all the rest are fun days
From now on until the very end
Never gonna spend another day without you again

Here's the proof, I'm telling the truth
And it's oh yes, my oh my
The earth shakes when you walk by
It's a fairy tale that we made true
I can't believe that I found you

And it's oh yes, my oh my
People turn and look when we walk by
It's a big fat love we feel in our hearts
We're keepin' it, keepin' it, keepin' it real

Now the sun is going down over our troubled times
We can free our minds and leave it all behind
And it's a common stipulation that there ain't no hope
But there's a tire swing baby on the end of our rope

And it's Wednesday, Thursday, my day, Friday
Saturday, Sunday, all the rest are fun days
From now on until the very end
Never gonna spend another day without you again

Here's the proof, I'm telling the truth
And it's oh yes, my oh my
The earth shakes when you walk by
It's a fairy tale that we made true
I can't believe that I found you

And it's oh yes, my oh my
People turn and look when we walk by
It's a big fat love we feel in our hearts
We're keepin' it, keepin' it, keepin' it real

And it's oh yes, my oh my
The earth shakes when you walk by
It's a fairy tale that we made true
I can't believe that I found you

And it's oh yes, my oh my
People turn and look when we walk by
It's a big fat love we feel in our hearts
We're keepin' it, keepin' it, keepin' it real

Yeah, in our hearts
We're keepin' it, keepin' it, keepin' it real
In our hearts
We're keepin' it, keepin' it, keepin' it real

In our hearts
We're keepin' it, keepin' it, keepin' it real

    this song is about marriage...

    It's a fairy tale that we made true I can't believe that I found you And it's oh yes, my oh my People turn and look when we walk by It's a big fat love we feel in our hearts

    referring to the wedding and people watching them as they walk up the alter

    From now on until the very end Never gonna spend another day without you again

    commitment is the key to marriage and that's why you say 'i do'

    another very good song among many in mason jennings' repertoire

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,
