Old Friends

Sometimes there are rewards to cleaning out junk drawers. 
Holiday....Celebrate. If we took a holiday. Just some time celebrate. Just one day out of life. It would be. It would be so nice. 
Lying in my bed, I hear the clock tick and think of you. For some reason this brings out the interpreted dances moves in me. Time after time.

I see trees of green...red roses too. I see 'em bloom for me and you. And I think to myself...what a wonderful world.

I also found Jennifer Knapp's Kansas cd. I still love it. And yes, I've heard. Can I be made clean by this offering of my soul. Can I be made whole again?

Chicago...You know our love was meant to beeeeeeeeee. The kind of love that lasts forever. And I want you here with meeeeeeeeeee. From tonight until the end of time.

Aerosmith cd's times three. How'd they get in there? It must have something to do with that guy I know who dresses up like Steven Tyler every Halloween. Sing with me. Sing for the year. Sing for the laughter. Sing for the tears. Sing with me, if it's just for today. Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away.

What cd from your past are you still holding on to in this day and age of iTunes??? 

I'm taking this long Labor Day weekend to catch up with these old friends of mine. It's going to be a great time. Take me back.

  3. I just went a bunch of CDs when we cleaned out the basement---4 CD towers worth! My old favorites have found their way into the car: A little Destiny's Child, Martina McBride, Sara Evans (Born to Fly---by far her BEST), En Vogue, the Evita soundtrack. It was so fun to reminisce!
