Smith met Mary Poole in school when he was 14 years old. Smith explains that his class was asked to choose partners for an activity. He mustered the courage to ask Mary and, as he says, got lucky. They have been together since and were married in 1988. The song “Love Song” was written as a wedding present for Mary.
"whenever I'm alone with you you make me feel
like i am home again whenever i'm alone with
you you make me feel like i am whole again
whenever i'm alone with you you make me feel
like i am young again whenever i'm alone with
you you make me feel like i am fun again"
like i am home again whenever i'm alone with
you you make me feel like i am whole again
whenever i'm alone with you you make me feel
like i am young again whenever i'm alone with
you you make me feel like i am fun again"
”Found myself alone alone alone above the raging sea,
that stole the only girl I loved,
and drowned her deep inside of me. “
If you could go back and repeat something you have done in the past, what would it be?"my first dance with Mary." - December 1990
"She's my Cindy Crawford”
"Show me, show me, show me how you do that trick
The one that makes me scream" she said
"The one that makes me laugh" she said
And threw her arms around my neck
"Show me how you do it
And I promise you I promise that
I'll run away with you
I'll run away with you"
The one that makes me scream" she said
"The one that makes me laugh" she said
And threw her arms around my neck
"Show me how you do it
And I promise you I promise that
I'll run away with you
I'll run away with you"
Tell us about your wedding day -
"It was perfect. everyone shone and then fell over" - January 1989
"Mary likes me. She knows I'm not perfect, she loves me as I am."
"Mary means so incomprehensibly much to me. I actually don't think she has ever realized how dependant I've been of her during all these years we've been together. She's always been the one that has saved me when I have been the most self-destructive, she's always been the one that has caught me when I have been so very close to fall apart completely, and if she would have disappeared - I am sorry, I know that I'm falling into my irritating miserable image by saying it - then I would have killed myself. "
"Oh you know that I'd do anything for you"
"You're such a strange girl
I think you come from another world
You're such a strange girl
I really don't understand a word
You're such a strange girl
I'd like to shake you around and around
You're such a strange girl
I'd like
To turn you
All upside down
You're such a
Strange girl
The way you look like you do
You're such a strange girl
I want
To be with you
I think I'm falling
I think I'm falling in
I think I'm falling in love with you
With you"
I think you come from another world

You're such a strange girl

To turn you
All upside down
You're such a
Strange girl
The way you look like you do
You're such a strange girl
