Story Behind The Song

The idea for this song came from observing the little moments that define a long-term relationship--the fights that feel bigger than they are, the laughter after a silly disagreement, and the simple acts of kindness that keep love alive. Inspired by real-life experiences, the song explores how the smallest gestures--a smoothie, a movie, a moment of listening--can rebuild connection and joy. It's both playful and heartfelt, capturing the humor, tenderness, and intimacy of a couple who knows that love isn't about grand gestures or what you can take from life, but about how much you give to each other every day.

Lyrics

After supper last Monday
Another fight over money
I wonder how these things get so out of control
We finished up the evening
Talking about me leaving
Not sure how to let the children know
I saw my old friend Mack and I asked him
Did your wife ever send you packin'
Did you ever have to go and he said no
You just . . .

Chorus:
Give, give, and give
She will give, give, and give
It's not what you take
Or how much you can make
It's all about what you give
So just give, give, and give.

So, I made her a Fuji smoothie
Took her to a mushy movie
Now each Friday is like our own holiday
I take time to listen
Have a passion for kissing
Less work and a lot more play on Saturday
And Sunday after preaching
I grab my guitar and start uh picking
I think about what the preacher man had to say
When he said . . .

Repeat chorus

Bridge:
Now there's excitement every evening
With explicit heavy breathin'
Then we broke the iron post bed
And I said...

Repeat chorus
