Story Behind The Song
Song inspired by a husband and wife who are always arguing but have been together for 47 years. Reminded me of the many couples who despite their differences stick together - the fact that they 'fight' is one of the reasons their relationship works better that way.

Lyrics
CHALK AND CHEESE © Kevin Glancy 2013
It could have been a fairy tale but it isn't - It should have been a lot like heaven but it wasn't.
It mightn't be such a perfect fit but we all love the one were with and somehow it works out cos love keeps rolling along.
Some people go together like chalk and cheese - like custard and peas - not like strawberries and jam - no they're not part of God's lovin plan
But as sure as eagles can fly they have to fight to survive but no matter what people say they stick together each day
It could have been all about the moon in June but it isn't
It could have ended all too soon but it didn't
And somehow it all works out no matter what we always fight about - yes you're here, I'm here and they're still playing our song.
But there's livin' life and there's comin' home and sometimes we still feel alone when the world gets a little too rough we take it out on the ones we love.
And at times we might look worlds apart but together we've got one big heart and if there's one thing you can count on in life it's that you and I will always be side by side...
Even though we go together like chalk and cheese - like custard and peas - not like strawberries and jam - no they're not part of God's lovin plan
But as sure as eagles can fly they have to fight to survive and no matter what comes our way we stick together each day
Yes as sure as eagles can fly we have to fight to survive and no matter what comes our way we stick together each day
Some people go together like chalk and cheese like custard and peas - not like strawberries and jam - no it's not part of God's lovin plan
But we've been together for a long time and no matter what anyone says - we'll be together forever because together we are the best
Even though we go together like chalk and cheese like custard and peas - not like strawberries and jam - no it's not part of God's lovin' plan
Yes as sure as eagles can fly we have to fight to survive and no matter what comes our way we stick together each day
