Yes, I wake up with a song in my heart every day, sometimes it does not happen at once, and today’s is Frank Sinatra’s “When You’re Young at Heart.”
I went to a wedding about 15 years ago and the band did songs from the 20’s through the 90’s and I knew the words and tunes to all of them and danced all day.
One person asked how I knew them and I said Dad played these on the piano and we all stood around and sang. He had “fake books” from the 40’s that helped him work through college (first in his family to graduate and actually get a doctorate) and now I have one as a gift last summer. I’ve placed every page in a plastic sleeve and into notebooks. It was a lot of work but he spent a lot of work raising me and it’s not in any way even. I owe more than I can ever say.
How about “You made me love you, I didn’t want to do it….” That’s for my dearest love, my husband. Dee
ps My parents took me to Carnegie Hall to see Frank Sinatra years ago. His voice was not great but my favorite album (I gave my CD to my favorite restaurant owner in Scotland, a few years ago) that has my favorite song on it, Isle of Capri. Who knows why, it’s incredibly sexist. The album/CD is Come Fly With Me.
I have wanted to and been able to travel in my life and look forward to more. My husband spent 36 hours without entering a church or museum in Florence and said he “saw Europe.” Give me a break, dear.
“I love to go a wandering… fol-der-ee, fol-der-a, folderee, folder ah ah ah ah ah … fol-deree, fal-der-ah a hiking we will go. Age seven. Mrs. P. Thank you! This will be the song of the morning that I sang in 3rd grade. And yes, Donald W did pick his nose and flick it into the fish tank in science class.
Song of the day! Find your own and sing it! This is for you PDX, Dee
