This song was written during my first year of marriage about 12 years ago. It's even more true today.
Wealthy Guy

Well I ain’t a millionaire, I may never be
But I know my worth cause you’re standing right next to me
This treasure I have found is of the highest price
And I catch a glimpse when I look into your eyes
Don’t need no IRA to tell me I’m OK
I’m vested in the best way
I’m rich beyond compare
Just to wake up every morning and see your sweet face there
I’m free so free my heart could fly
And judging by these standards I am a wealthy guy
Some people wait on chance on fate on destiny
They drop another quarter in the romantic slot machine
Then they say “love’s a gamble, not worth the risk”
But they’ve never known a love such as this
Don’t need to roll the dice against the stakes set high
To live a privileged life
Don’t need no bank account to post no dollar amount
And try to prove that I am poor
So as I say this again, I’m gonna stick out my chin
And be proud so you can be sure
