there's a new man in the white house, usa is proud and strong again, we cheered our people home at last, from fourteen months of prison in iran, tv went to saturn's rings, and found there's something new under the sun, and honey i found you, the highlight of '81, all the papers missed the biggest story of the year, not a solitary word about me and you, the headlines didn't even say how time stood still, when i laid down beside you and you said you loved me too, the baseball strike was over, and once again the umpire said play ball, the royal couple tied the knot in london, and the whole world watched it all, the raiders won the super bowl, and the shuttle put the russians on the run, but i found you, the highlight of '81, all the papers missed the biggest story of the year, not a solitary word about me and you, the headlines didn't even say how time stood still, when i laid down beside you and you said you loved me too, a lot of great things came about this year, and some may fade in years to come, but honey never you, the highlight of '81
