Don't remember (or perhaps even know) the song Into the Night by @bennymardones that I mentioned in my post, Ripped from the Headlines: Mr. and Mrs. Hutchison? You probably think that the actual title of the song is If I Could Fly. I did too for a long time. I am so bad with song titles and lyrics. It was years before I noticed that the lyrics were kinda freaky. I blame Benny. His honey-dipped voice distracted me.
Shamefully, I must admit that I clicked through @eonline's Teen Bride Wedding Album featuring pictures from Doug Hutchison & Courtney Alexis Stodden (#dontjudgeme). She's just 16 years old. SMH. Check out an Into the Night video and the song's lyrics* below and you'll see why I think that Into The Night could be their theme song.

Into the Night sung by Benny Mardones
She's just sixteen years old
Leave her alone, they say
Separated by fools
Who don't know what love is yet
But I want you to know
If I could fly
I'd pick you up
I'd take you into the night
And show you a love
Like you've never seen, ever seen
It's like having a dream
Where nobody has a heart
It's like having it all
And watching it fall apart
And I would wait till the end
Of time for you
And do it again, it's true
I can't measure my love
There's nothing to compare it to
But I want you to know
If I could fly
I'd pick you up
I'd take you into the night
And show you a love
Ooooh, if I could fly
I'd pick you up
I'd take you into the night
And show you a love
Like you've never seen, ever seen
Yeah, Ooooh....
(etc. etc.)
*The initial inspiration for the song was more innocent than the final lyrics seem. Read Carl Wiser's (Songfacts) interview with Mardones or listen to part of it here.
