Good Old Summertime

The Good Ole Summertime

In The Still Of The Night

Stand By Me

I Wanna Be Loved Like That

This is a song from my favorite movie, Songcatcher. 

I sang this song almost every day leading up to my wedding day, for I was very much in love with a younger man, whom my momma (and others) warned me about. He was the sweetest, most gentlest loving man, though, and I would hear none of it. 

We married, and within a year.. he was gone. 

The lesson bittersweet. 

When Love Is New

It's NEVER too late to send Grandpa a card, a note, a gift, a package!!

Grandpa Receives His First Birthday Cards!!

I was thinking of Grandpa, and felt like singing, so I thought I'd share one of our favorite songs. 

Did you know the elusive second verse? 

I was in my grandparent's basement one night as a little girl, about 8 years old, and I found a pile of old sheet music that contained this song, and I was so shocked by the woman's response! :) I still have that pile of music. 

Bicycle Built For Two

You seem to have misplaced my memory.

Absently tucking me between layers of moss,
you watch as the moisture saturates me.
I am a sponge, soaking up your sighs, pregnant with your always-temporary presence.

You misplace your intentions. One moment fully pulsating with possibility,
the next sobbing upon my lap. Hands reaching over, pulling my hair, grasping the seat-belt
as you sob against my dress.

Who are you, my wild broken boy? I curl my fingers through your hair
and feel nothing. You have taken all I had to give. 
You have emptied me. I have been ravaged.
I am broken by your promises and numb to your eyes, shining with dew.

Why do you stare, so guileless and strong, and promise me the world?
You are as transient as the salty sea; I taste you on my lips
but you are soon washed away with the softest of kisses, an absent-minded touch. You are gone.

You seem to have misplaced me.

Traveling deep into the wilderness,
I can no longer seek you.
I can no longer wait for you.

You have misplaced all these memories, broken all the beauty.
You have ravaged my heart.

I seek you in the quiet moments, but my wild broken boy
you are gone.
