What plays out in the spotlights is all you need to see.
  An extravaganza of what our marriage is each day together.
  As you see we were a perfect match from the beginning. Love
  has blessed us with its fruits, our children, a boy and girl.

  We've had our trials. Behind the big top the clowns drink and
  gamble the paychecks away. The beauties on the trapeze grow
  a little fatter with each decaying year and settle for less.
  The strongman is weaker, the human cannonball almost broken.

  The towns on our circuit seem a little more desperate each season.
  We now have just the one ring for our acts of amazing happiness.
  The kids have joined their own circus and we only have ourselves
  wandering in tattered tents alone at The Greatest Show on Earth.
