Not Anymore

You know when people have a song that they share?  Or when one person has a song that always reminds them of the other….I used to think that was so silly – I found it vaguely embarrassing for all concerned…Just as I know I’ll someday look back at this post and find it embarrassing.  But right now, I don’t care – a very dear friend likened this song to his love for me and that was a wonderful thing….

I love to look into your big brown eyes
They talk to me and seem to hypnotize
You say the things nobody dares to say
And I’m not about to let you fly away
My lover with no jet lag
Stayin up all night in the sleepin bag
You got a heart-beatin rhythm from the subterrain
I really love you little girl, I don’t need to explain
I love you cause your deuces are wild, girl
Like a double shot of lovin so fine
I been lovin you since you was a child, girl
cause you and me is two of a kind
Like deja vu I feel like I’ve been here
Or somewhere else but you’ve been always near
It’s you that’s in my dreams I’m beggin for
But I woke up when someone slammed the door
So hard I fell out of bed
Screamin mamas little baby loves shortnin bread
And the moral of the story, I can testify
I get stoned on you girl, that’s the best reason why

Remember

I was driving home from work and I heard the most wonderful song on the radio.  I thought it was Ringo Starr, but it didn’t sound quite like him and as it turns out, it wasn’t.  It was Harry Nilsson – someone I have never heard of (but have an embarrassing feeling was a fairly well-known performer). 

Nevertheless, the song was quite magical and it’s worth looking up if you have the time.  I think there were actually more lyrics than I have been able to find on the internet but since I don’t have the song memorized (yet) I’m not quite sure.  The song is called ‘Remember’….

Long ago, far away
Life was clear, close your eyes

Remember is a place from long ago
Remember filled with everything you know
Remember when you’re sad and feelin’ down
Remember turn around

Remember life is just a memory
Remember close your eyes and you can see
Remember think of all that life can be
Remember-

Dream, love is only in a dream, remember -
Remember life is never as it seems. Dream

Long ago, far away
Life was clear, close your eyes
