A baby's born in the middle of the night
In a local delivery room
They grab his feet, smack him till 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
It's all because two people fell in love
Right now at a picnic shelter down by Caney Creek
You'll find potato salad, hot dogs and baked beans
The whole Wilson family's lined up fillin' 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 nothin' 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 driftin' 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 nothin' not affected
When two hearts get 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 'til he cries
He goes home the next afternoon
