My Mam is Cecil's daughter Ann. Here's a few lines from It had to be you... Now fourteen years of married life has made a mess of me No matter what I try to do it ends in misery Now when I climb up the bedroom stairs before I kneel to pray I take out my wife's photograph and look at and say It had to be you It had to be you I must have been sunk, elephants drunk When I married you I'm black and I'm blue from things I've been through My shirts up the spout, can't get it out all over you Last week out in Bray with Mrs McCay You got into a boat but it wouldn't float It sank in the blue Someone cried they're both drowned It gave me a thrill til somebody said one's breathing still And it had to be you, wonderful you, it had to be you.
