about

I wrote this for my wife Launa, the love of my life, on our 23rd anniversary. She's usually the lead singer of the band, but this time I sing lead and Launa is on backing vocals.

lyrics

I loved you in your periwinkle blue windbreaker
Writing your thesis and chain-smoking cigarettes
We spent Winterterm making love on your sister's old futon
Baby when it comes to you, I got no regrets
Baby when it comes to you I got no regrets

I loved you at hot sweaty parties in the '80s
Dancing and drinking beer 'til we had our fill
I loved you when I tried to break up on the ferris wheel
You said fool around with her, but you love me Bill

I loved you in your periwinkle blue windbreaker
Writing your thesis and chain-smoking cigarettes
We spent Winterterm making love on your sister's old futon
Baby when it comes to you, I got no regrets
Baby when it comes to you I got no regrets

I loved you when we said goodbye in Paul's driveway
My station wagon packed I was driving to L.A.
That's when I said oh crap I think I love you
You cried and said no duh, baby it's okay

Baby, you know I’ve made mistakes
If I could do it again, there’s so much I would change
But I’d still fall for you, and we’d be playing in this rock roll band
‘Cause baby when it comes to you, I got no regrets

And that’s why I loved you in your periwinkle blue windbreaker
Writing your thesis and chain-smoking cigarettes
We spent Winterterm making love on your sister's old futon
Baby when it comes to you, I got no regrets
Baby when it comes to you I got no regrets
