Smooth, classic jazz-style song**, sung by a single vocalist or narrator, telling Larry & Gail’s story in a warm, nostalgic, jazz-club style. Think: **Nat King Cole, Nancy Wilson, Sinatra with brushes and upright bass**, smoky room, muted trumpet fills. # 🎵 **“The Story Began in a Car Ride”* ## **VERSE 1** Gene had a little car rollin’ down to TSU, Rose and sweet Gail hummin’ soft in the back. Larry was downtown, mind on business, Walkin’ slow beneath the Houston heat’s attack. Gene waved him over with a grin so wide, Said, *“Come on, brother… take a little ride.”* And just like that—without a sign— Two hearts fell in line. --- ## **VERSE 2** Now Gail and Rose were Kashmere girls, Friends since junior high school days. Workin’ hard at Hermann Hospital, And studyin’ at TSU in their own steady ways. They found out Gene had wheels to spare, And oh, they schemed with charm and flair— Rides to class, to work, back home again, Laughin’ through every turn and bend. --- ## **CHORUS** **Oh, the story began in a car ride, Just a little swing in the Houston sun. A simple drive on an ordinary day Became the start of two hearts as one. From that old TSU road to a long, sweet life, Larry and Gail, love side by side— All from that first, gentle, joyful ride.** --- ## **VERSE 3** Funny thing, they walked the same high school halls, But never met, not once, not at all. Life saved the moment for that perfect time, When destiny climbed into Gene’s front side. Cousin Felix stopped by the campus one day, And Gail saw him stannin’ there with Gene that way. Said, *“Girl, he’s got a car… let’s catch a ride,”* And history slipped quietly inside. --- ## **VERSE 4** One day they were downtown shoppin’ shoes, Gene drivin’, girls laughin’, hummin’ blues. And there was Larry, walkin’ down the street, Head held high, rhythm in his feet. Gene slowed down, said, *“Hop right in,”* And destiny spun the wheel again. Larry asked with a smile so wide, *“Which one of you girls is datin’ my brother, tonight?”* --- ## **BRIDGE** Oh, they sorted it out with a wink and a grin, Didn’t know what kind of love they were fallin’ in. From that day on, they were never apart— Four young souls movin’ with one heart. Willie Hall and the crew slid right in time, Life became a jazzy, easy rhyme. --- ## **CHORUS (Bigger, Warmer)** **Yes, the story began in a car ride, Just a little swing on an ordinary day. Nobody knew that the route they took Would lead to love in the sweetest way. From TSU halls to a long shared life, With laughter, joy, and tears beside— All from that quiet, joyful ride.** --- ## **FINAL VERSE** Years rolled on like a gentle jazz tune, Soft as a saxophone under a midnight moon. Four beautiful children blessed their song— **Troy, Shy, Heather, and little Hope** came along. And to this day, with hands entwined, They’re swingin’ through life in rhythm and time. Love like theirs? Rare, refined— A masterpiece perfectly designed.
Lyrics
Gene had a little car rollin’ down to TSU,
Rose and sweet Gail hummin’ soft in the back.
Larry was downtown, mind on business,
Walkin’ slow beneath the Houston heat’s attack.
Gene waved him over with a grin so wide,
Said, “Come on, brother… take a little ride.”
And just like that—without a sign—
Two hearts fell in line.
Now Gail and Rose were Kashmere girls,
Friends since junior high school days.
Workin’ hard at Hermann Hospital,
And studyin’ at TSU in their own steady ways.
They found out Gene had wheels to spare,
And oh, they schemed with charm and flair—
Rides to class, to work, back home again,
Laughin’ through every turn and bend.
Oh, the story began in a car ride,
Just a little swing in the Houston sun.
A simple drive on an ordinary day
Became the start of two hearts as one.
From that old TSU road to a long, sweet life,
Larry and Gail, love side by side—
All from that first, gentle, joyful ride.
Funny thing, they walked the same high school halls,
But never met, not once, not at all.
Life saved the moment for that perfect time,
When destiny climbed into Gene’s front side.
Cousin Felix stopped by the campus one day,
And Gail saw him stannin’ there with Gene that way.
Said, “Girl, he’s got a car… let’s catch a ride,”
And history slipped quietly inside.
One day they were downtown shoppin’ shoes,
Gene drivin’, girls laughin’, hummin’ blues.
And there was Larry, walkin’ down the street,
Head held high, rhythm in his feet.
Gene slowed down, said, “Hop right in,”
And destiny spun the wheel again.
Larry asked with a smile so wide,
“Which one of you girls is datin’ my brother, tonight?”
Oh, they sorted it out with a wink and a grin,
Didn’t know what kind of love they were fallin’ in.
From that day on, they were never apart—
Four young souls movin’ with one heart.
Willie Hall and the crew slid right in time,
Life became a jazzy, easy rhyme.
Yes, the story began in a car ride,
Just a little swing on an ordinary day.
Nobody knew that the route they took
Would lead to love in the sweetest way.
From TSU halls to a long shared life,
With laughter, joy, and tears beside—
All from that quiet, joyful ride.
Years rolled on like a gentle jazz tune,
Soft as a saxophone under a midnight moon.
Four beautiful children blessed their song—
Troy, Shy, Heather, and little Hope came along.
And to this day, with hands entwined,
They’re swingin’ through life in rhythm and time.
Love like theirs? Rare, refined—
A masterpiece perfectly designed.
