Lyrics

[Verse]
I was torn between the stars in the sky,
Darlene’s sweet smile, and Irene’s wild eye.
One talked love, the other ran schemes,
But my heart found its home with Darlene my queen.

[Chorus]
Darlene, my queen, you were steady and true,
While Irene, my spleen, just tore me in two.
Your heart gave me roots, Irene was a storm,
Now I’m holding your hand where it’s safe and warm.

[Verse 2]
Irene’s big plans, they were castles on sand,
Like chasing the wind, she’d slip through my hand.
But Darlene you stayed, through the highs and the lows,
I’d be a fool to let go of the one who knows.

[Chorus]
Darlene, my queen, you were steady and true,
While Irene, my spleen, just tore me in two.
Your heart gave me roots, Irene was a storm,
Now I’m holding your hand where it’s safe and warm.

[Bridge]
Life’s about choices, and love’s about grace,
Irene was a race but you’re a warm embrace.
I let go of the thrill, for a love that’s serene,
Now my whole world rests with my Darlene.

[Verse 3]
Irene’s still out there, chasing her dreams,
But my road’s with you under small-town beams.
We’ll build what lasts while the wild wind screams,
Holding the love of Darlene, my queen.
