Monday, Tuesday Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, I love you.
Monday, Tuesday Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, I love you. January, February, into March and April, Same way too. May, June and July, I never let a day go by Without a kiss for you to remember Just in case you go away in August or September In October and November, Not to mention cold […]

Gentle on my mind
Glen Campbell announces he has Alzheimers: http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2011/06/23/3251159.htm It’s knowing that your door is always open And your path is free to walk That makes me tend to leave my sleeping bag Rolled up and stashed behind your couch And it’s knowing I’m not shackled By forgotten words and bonds And the ink stains that have […]

Well I’ll be damned Here comes your ghost again But that’s not unusual It’s just that the moon is full And you happened to call And here I sit Hand on the telephone Hearing a voice I’d known A couple of light years ago Heading straight for a fall
