Growing up...
We all got to do it. For some reason, today I woke up wanting to walk down memory lane with 80's songs... maybe it's that dang 92.5 channel... but I found the lyrics to one of my all time favorite songs that usually got me crying while I delivered newspapers at 6 in the morning. That I cried to the first time I heard it on the TV show "Family Ties"...Billy Vera & the Beaters

At This Moment - (1987)
What did you think I would do at this moment
When you're standing before me
With tears in your eyes
Trying to tell me that you
Have found you another
You just don't love me no more
What did you think I would say at this moment
When I'm faced with the knowledge
That you just don't love me
Did you think I would curse you
Or say things to hurt you
`Cause you just don't love me no more
Did you think I could hate you
Or raise my hands to you
Now come on, you know me too well
How could I hurt you
When darlin I love you
And you know I'd never hurt you
Oh...
What do you think I would give at this moment
Ff you stay I'd subtract twenty years from my life
I'd fall down on my knees
Kiss the ground that you walk on
If I could just hold you again
I'd fall down on my knees
Kiss the ground that you walk on, baby
If I could just hold you
If I could just hold you.....
Again.
Reminds me of so many happy days.... good memories and not so good but I like to focus on the good.... then for some reason it reminded me of blooming hearts... my favorite plant when I was growing up. There was this eldery woman that I always sold Girl Scout cookies too. Her front yard had all kinds of blooming hearts - white, pink, red... they were so delicate, so beautiful. I loved them. LOL! Now I love pretty much anything to do with hearts. Then that got me thinking about how she lived right near this girl named Kelly F... she and I would sing and dance in her bedroom to "Elvira" ...
ELVIRA
Oak Ridge Boys
Eyes that look like heaven, lips like sherry wine
That girl can sure enough make my little light shine
I get a funny feelin' up and down my spine
'Cause I know that my Elvira's mine
So I'm singin'
Elvira, Elvira
My heart's on fire Elvira
Giddy Up Oom Poppa Omm Poppa Mow Mow
Giddy Up Oom Poppa Omm Poppa Mow Mow
Heigh-ho Silver, away
Tonight I'm gonna meet her at the Hungry House Cafe
And I'm gonna give her all the love I can
She's gonna jump and holler 'cause I saved up my last two dollars
We're gonna search and find that preacher man
Now I'm a singin'
Elvira, Elvira
My heart's on fire Elvira
Giddy Up Oom Poppa Omm Poppa Mow Mow
Giddy Up Oom Poppa Omm Poppa Mow Mow
Heigh-ho Silver, away
*Sigh* good memories.... now I must go to work.... I'm a grown-up now and life has responsibilities. :)
