This day in music history.

June 27, 1993, Lyle Lovett married Julia Roberts in Marion, Ind. The couple had known each other for only a few weeks they had met while filming the 1992 movie The Player. They announce a divorce less then two years later.
If I Were The Man You Wanted by Lyle Lovett
They all sat around in a circle
They were all laughing and all telling lies
Then the tall one he bumped in a dollar
He said boys Ive got nothing to hide
Now if the king and the queen stood together
Then the ace he would not be to blame
And if the cards were all laid on the table
Then love could be more than a game
And if the stars didnt shine on the water
Then the sun wouldnt burn on the sand
And if I were the man you wanted
I would not be the man that I am
And I have seen my share of long nights
And I have told my share of lies
And I have run into the darkness
When I saw the look in your eyes
But if the night didnt lie in the darkness
Then the daylight would be hard to find
And if the truth didnt turn to a weakness
I would have never have spoken my mind
And if the stars didnt shine on the water
Then the sun wouldnt burn on the sand
And if I were the man you wanted
Then I would not be the man that I am
So if youre going out to carolina
Then dont linger in new mexico
And if you think of the one there behind you
Then you might not feel so alone
And if the stars didnt shine on the water
Then the sun wouldnt burn on the sand
And if I were the man you wanted
I would not be the man that I am
