My first date with Nikki was the best first date I'd ever been on. We found ways to laugh about pretty much everything, including some tacky ornamental pumpkins. I probably wrote this song a week later, idly daydreaming, and wondering if she might be the one. I think she is.

lyrics

Golden pumpkins on the porch tonight
Don’t mean nothing to a passerby
But to me and you and those who know our meetcute
Golden pumpkins are a way of life

Golden pumpkins represent the day that we met
Golden pumpkins represent the things that we said
Golden pumpkins represent all the good times we dreamed of way back when
I’m that much in like with you

Golden pumpkins
Golden pumpkins

Golden pumpkins represent our first night alone
Golden pumpkins represent our hours on the phone
Golden pumpkins represent all the good times that we could call our own
I’m that much in love with you

It may be a tacky gift
No practical value, no reason to exist
It may be a souvenir
And nothing more than a knickknack tchotchke doodad
But to me the real purpose is clear

Golden pumpkins on the porch tonight
Don’t mean nothing to a passerby
But to me and you and those who know our meetcute
Golden pumpkins are a way of life

Golden pumpkins represent the vows that we make
Golden pumpkins represent the risks that we take
Golden pumpkins represent all the good times we’ll never have to fake
I’m so much in life with you

Golden pumpkins represent the rest of our lives
Golden pumpkins represent the love in our eyes
Golden pumpkins represent all the times that we had
Through sickness and health, through good times and bad
As we head down to the crypt where we will lie
I’m so much in debt to you

about

Kevin Calaway Seattle, Washington

I could while away the hours conferring with the flowers, consulting with the rain - but who has time for that? I regulate my mood with musical catharsis and publish my diary on the internet for the whole world to hear, wearing my heart and my influences on my sleeve like a man who really needs to do laundry. ... more
