Every Monday to Friday at 7am my alarm goes off. I religiously set it to snooze and nine minutes later it goes off again; I get out of bed, shower, break my fast and hop into my car for a one hour crawl to work.
The hour in traffic is the least enjoyable part of the day, possibly because of the immediate and shocking contrast with the first nine minutes.
However, for the first nine minutes I like to snuggle over beside my wife and just breath in her scent. No matter what happens in my day, it can't take away that first nine minutes.
She can kill with a smile
She can wound with her eyes
She can ruin your faith with her casual lies
And she only reveals what she wants you to see
She hides like a child,
But she's always a woman to me
She can lead you to love
She can take you or leave you
She can ask for the truth
But she'll never believe
And she'll take what you give her, as long as it's free
Yeah, she steals like a thief
But she's always a woman to me
Oh--she takes care of herself
She can wait if she wants
She's ahead of her time
Oh--and she never gives out
And she never gives in
She just changes her mind
And she'll promise you more
Than the Garden of Eden
Then she'll carelessly cut you
And laugh while you're bleedin'
But she'll bring out the best
And the worst you can be
Blame it all on yourself
Cause she's always a woman to me
Oh--she takes care of herself
She can wait if she wants
She's ahead of her time
Oh--and she never gives out
And she never gives in
She just changes her mind
She is frequently kind
And she's suddenly cruel
She can do as she pleases
She's nobody's fool
And she can't be convicted
She's earned her degree
And the most she will do
Is throw shadows at you
But she's always a woman to me
Billy Joel "She's always a woman"
