Story Behind The Song
Another song of mine taken out of drawers from the 90s. Original lyrics were in french about a young boy having a flying kite as a buddy.
Wrote new lyrics in english, inspired again by human relationships.
Then I asked talented Julia Schmidt who I met on BJ, to sing for me.
Song Description
Life is a roller coaster, for the good and the bad, the ups & downs. But as always, black pairs with white, Yin with Yang and despite of occasional turbulences in a couple, love often makes it easy & fun to deal with opposite tempers.
Julia Schmidt brought a blast of energy to the song. Thanks Julia!

Lyrics
(Verse 1)
Do u remember
Hey hey hey
The very special day
We met in Orlando's
Disney World?
(Verse 2)
A roller coaster
Hey hey hey
The ride of a life time
I was screaming
I was upside down
(Pre chorus)
Were you being amused
That I couldn't take it?
Or an excuse
To feel my heartbeat
You didn't hesitate
Put your arm on my shoulder
This is how we met
With a thrill and laughter
(Chorus)
When you say that I'm wrong
I don't think you're right
Life is still a roller coaster
With you by my side
Seven years have gone by
What a thrilling time!
Still addicted to that ride
That I don't want to end
(Verse 3)
A roller coaster
Hey hey hey
Still running on and on
Day after day
With so much fun
(Pre chorus)
Crazy good co riders
We're amazing partners
After all we can say
We're just fine this way
(Solo)
(Bridge)
Even though some shades of grey
Have a nice appeal
Black and white like up and down
Suit for you and I
Caus' a Yin always matches a Yang
(Chorus ad lib...fade out)
When you say that I'm wrong
I don't think you're right
Life is still a roller coaster
With you by my side
Seven years have gone by
What a thrilling time!
Still addicted to that ride
That I don't want to end
When I say that You should
You don't know if you could
Black and white, like you and me
That's what it's meant to be
When you say that I'm wrong
I don't think you're right
Life is still a roller coaster
With you by my side
