Not many love affairs have lasted as long as ours
We’ve been at it for years, and days, and even a few hours
I can’t live without you that’s plain to see
And if you ever left me how sad I would be.
But enough about me. Let’s talk about us. Here are the lines
from a few songs that tell the world about our affair:
Cole Porter kicked it off with:
We might have been meant for each other
To be or not to be let our hearts discover…
Even Stevie Wonder sang about us:
You are the sunshine of my life
That's why I'll always be around…
Ella Fitzgerald made us a couple:
I love all the many charms about you
Above all, I want my arms about you…
Frank Sinatra chimed in with:
But if you'll let me love you
It's for sure I'm gonna love you all the way…
Ray Charles predicted what life would be without you:
I can't stop wanting you it's useless to say
So I'll just live my life in dreams of yesterday…
And Bobby Darin wailed away about your childhood:
Yeah! You must have been a beautiful baby
‘cause baby won't you look at you now.
Yes, sweetheart, you know you made me love you,
especially on the second Wednesday of every month.
Happy Birthday SOCIAL SECURITY, my love, on
your 79th anniversary! May we both live forever.

and the institution that sustains them...
Happy Birthday! to your...love...life!
Many Happy Returns! to both!

South Baltimore serves as the backdrop for this gripping story of three brothers leading very different lives but joined forever by the secrets of a painful family past.
