Story Behind the Song 
This is from my personal experience of dating, getting married, then separated and divorced. The hardest but most rewarding part is maintaining or establishing your own identity through all this, and finding your own happiness.
Lyrics 
Seems like forever since you've come and gone
 I still remember nineteen eighty-one
 The dog days of summer in the lazy heat
 Straight out of nowhere you would rescue me
 
 Settled in a modest east end neighborhood
 Swore that I'd always treat you, best I could
 Gave you a diamond, and a solemn vow
 One's green and tarnished, the other broken now
 
 Guess I never let you, tell me things were wrong
 You know I won't forget you but I've
 Come a long, long way - long way from you
 
 After the winter of our discontent
 Drafted up a legal binding document
 Signed with a witness my name in black
 Knew from that moment there's no turning back
 
 Many times I almost said I'm sorry
 Something would get in the way
 You can call it pride, but
 at least I tried to meet you halfway
 
 Some call it courage others cowardice
 No shame in thinking there must be more than this
 The man in the mirror with a touch of grey
 Smiles as he's saying you've come a long lon way
