I wrote this song just for my wife, Tina. It was originally meant to be shared only with her, but on her suggestions, this "draft" of it is to be shared. May re-record parts of it for my solo record next year.

Story behind the song
I wrote this for our anniversary in 2009.
Lyrics
Let me tell you ‘bout my lady,
She rises early every morning to pray.
She’s my pineapple princess, she’s the Squirrel Girl
Ain’t no-one I would rather be with in this whole wide world.
She sees me, she knows me, and she accepts me.
Although when I’m forgetful she reminds me.
She’s my proverbial mirror; I see where I need to grow
She’s been with me and me with her through every high and low.
Hey Yah, Hey Yah, Hey Yah Hey! 2 times
She’s my Queen of the forest, yeah she’s just right for me, lemme tell ya
‘Cause I am Flying Squirrel and Tina is my Tree
Hey Yah, Hey Yah, Hey Yah Hey! 4 times
I found a wife right out of Proverbs 31
She’s about the fathers business before the rising of the sun
She’s a truth speaker, peace seeker she’s a voice of grace for me
She was taken from my rib so she would be my main squeeze.
Hey Yah, Hey Yah, Hey Yah Hey! 2 times
She’s my Queen of the forest, yeah she’s just right for me, lemme tell ya
‘Cause I am Flying Squirrel and Tina is my Tree
Hey Yah, Hey Yah, Hey Yah Hey! 4 times
Now I don’t mean to toot my horn, but I’ve got bragging rights, you see.
This gracious loving lady vowed to love me all of our life.
Sometimes I cut the mustard, sometimes I cut the cheese.
It don’t make no difference ‘cause she is still in love with me.
Hey Yah, Hey Yah, Hey Yah Hey! 2 times
She’s my Queen of the forest, yeah she’s just right for me, lemme tell ya
‘Cause I am Flying Squirrel and Tina is my Tree
Hey Yah, Hey Yah, Hey Yah Hey! 4 times
The greatest day in my life next to the birth of my son
Was August 16th, 2003 when we declared “we are one”.
As I look into your eyes and you look back at me
I want to thank you for your faithful love to this cherished Cherokee
Hey Yah, Hey Yah, Hey Yah Hey! 2 times
She’s my Queen of the forest, yeah she’s just right for me, lemme tell ya
‘Cause I am Flying Squirrel and Tina is my Tree
Hey Yah, Hey Yah, Hey Yah Hey! 4 times
