Iflit...I'll make you one. A long necklace like. What colors?

[iflitifloat]

Oh, Shira! How exciting! I tend to be a blue/purple type, but anything will be fine. Just remember that I'm tall, so it needs to be very long.

...sorry I had to dash away for a bit.

iflit, that's a beautiful story.

Do you remember the childhood book 'Sam and the Firefly'? I used to love it.

Ah, yes... the music of our 'past'.

Frozen Charleston Chews, anyone?

***Ice Cream from the Good Humor Man***

"If I could save Time in a bottle
The first thing that I'd like to do
Is to save every day
Til Eternity passes away
Just to spend them with you

If I could make days last forever
If words could make wishes come true
I'd save every day like a treasure and then,
Again, I would spend them with you".

Loving the songs!

Here's an 'appropriate' Croce tune for this trip down memory lane...


Photographs and memories
Christmas cards you sent to me
All that I have are these
To remember you

Memories that come at night
Take me to another time
Back to a happier day
When I called you mine

But we sure had a good time
When we started way back when
Morning walks and bedroom talks
Oh how I loved you then

Summer skies and lullabies
Nights we couldnt say good-bye
And of all of the things that we knew
Not a dream survived

Photographs and memories
All the love you gave to me
Somehow it just cant be true
Thats all Ive left of you

But we sure had a good time
When we started way back when
Morning walks and bedroom talks
Oh how I loved you then

Jim Croce! Such great songs!

[junglered]

Posted: 7/24/06 at 11:11pm

Jim Croce was a favorite of mine - a wonderful voice ost too soon.

- How about a love song from America:

Flyin' me back to Memphis
Gotta find my Daisy Jane
Well, the summer's gone
And i hope she's feelin' the same

Well, I left her just to roam the city
Thinkin' it would ease the pain
I'm a crazy man
And I'm playin' my crazy game, game

Does she really love me
I think she does
Like the stars above me
I know because
When the sky is bright
Everything's alright

Oh wow. I haven't thought about that one in ages...

This was a Carole King favorite! I knew how to play it on my guitar and the piano... Loved it!

My life has been a tapestry of rich and royal hue
An everlasting vision of the everchanging view
A wondrous woven magic in bits of blue and gold
A tapestry to feel and see, impossible to hold

Once amid the soft silver sadness in the sky
There came a man of fortune, a drifter passing by
He wore a torn and tattered cloth around his leathered hide
And a coat of many colors, yellow-green on either side

He moved with some uncertainty, as if he didn't know
Just what he was there for, or where he ought to go
Once he reached for something golden hanging from a tree
And his hand come down empty

Soon within my tapestry along the rutted road
He sat down on a river rock and turned into a toad
It seemed that he had fallen into someone's wicked spell
And I wept to see him suffer, though I didn't know him well

As I watched in sorrow, there suddenly appeared
A figure gray and ghostly beneath a flowing beard
In times of deepest darkness, I've seen him dressed in black
Now my tapestry's unraveling; he's come to take me back
He's come to take me back

Seals and Croft!


See the curtains hangin' in the window, in the evenin' on a Friday night.
A little light a-shinin' through the window, lets me know everything is alright.
Summer breeze, makes me feel fine, blowing through the jasmine in my mind.
Summer breeze, makes me feel fine, blowing through the jasmine in my mind.

LOVE Carole (but Addy already knows that!)

Here's another Carole favorite:

Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose
And sometimes the blues get hold of you
Just when you thought you had made it

All around the block, people will talk
But I want to give it all I've got
I just don't want to waste it

Talkin' 'bout sweet seasons on my mind
Sure does appeal to me
You know we can get there easily
Just like a sailboat sailin' on the sea

Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose
And most times you choose between the two
Wonderin', wonderin' if you have made it

But I'll have some kids and make my plans
And I'll watch the seasons run away
And I'll build me a life in the open
A life in the country

I'm talkin' 'bout sweet seasons on my mind
Sure does appeal to me
You know we can get there easily
Just like a sailboat sailin' on the sea

Talkin' 'bout sweet seasons

This is a great playlist! Love them all!

How about a little Hall & Oates:


Were you ever so in love
you couldn't wait to get to sleep and dream
about the one you wish was there beside you
In the past few days I've grown
to love your giggles on the phone
and how we hug so nicely

Chorus:
And from the first time that I saw you
has I known you better then
I would've said those three old words
And from the first time I saw you
had I known you better then

Now I'm gonna move away
another town another crazy day
ooh I want to stay and maybe hang around you
Call it luck
call it fate
call it a shame that we have met so late
and loved so lightly

Chorus:
And from the first time that I saw you
had I known you better then
I would've said those three old words
And from the first time that I saw you
had I known you better then

I can see why you think you belong to me
I never tried to make you think or make you see one thing for yourself
But now you're off with someone else and I'm alone
You see I thought I might keep you for my own

Amy, what you wanna do
I think I could stay with you
For a while maybe longer if I do

Posted: 7/24/06 at 11:24pm

I think we ought to release a "Best of the Adult Thtead CD" !

Another favorite:

Dance with me, I want to be your partner
Can't you see the music is just starting
Night is falling, and I am calling
Dance with me

Fantasy could never be so killing
I feel free, I hope that you are willing
Pick the beat up, and kick your feet up
Dance with me


Let it lift you off the ground
Starry eyes, and love is all around us
I can take you where you want to go

Dance with me, I want to be your partner
Can't you see the music is just starting
Night is falling, and I am calling
Dance with me

I still have my 8-tracks! In my parent's attic. I'll never get rid of them!

I think I wore my Olivia Newton-John out.

I honestly love you...

Jungle - that would be an EXCELLENT CD!

I'm going to have to print this thread out and burn a CD.

Loving these...

J - love that one!

Here is my grade school dance song:

If you leave me now, youll take away the biggest part of me
No baby please dont go
If you leave me now, youll take away the very heart of me
No baby please dont go

A love like ours is love thats hard to find
How could we let it slip away
Weve come too far to leave it all behind
How could we end it all this way
When tomorrow comes well both regret
Things we said today

A love like ours is love thats hard to find
How could we let it slip away
Weve come too far to leave it all behind
How could we end it all this way
When tomorrow comes well both regret
Things we said today

How about this. Always a Chicago favorite:

If you leave me now, youll take away the biggest part of me
No baby please dont go
If you leave me now, youll take away the very heart of me
No baby please dont go

A love like ours is love thats hard to find
How could we let it slip away
Weve come too far to leave it all behind
How could we end it all this way
When tomorrow comes well both regret
Things we said today
