Silly Old Love Songs

Those silly old love songs from decades past Still meander through in my mind Those love songs that speak softly of the thrill Of a blossoming new romance That promise “I Will Always Love You” by Whitney The definition of what true love is “Love Is A Many Splendored Thing” And Perry's “Can't Help Falling In Love” Am I dating myself... perhaps But these oldies tell of love in much simpler terms Even though the world was still in turmoil These songs promised hope Of finding that very special person To spend eternity with! To love and to cherish! To grow old and grey with! Those were very special times back then! Ah! Memories!!!

Ah, memories indeed, dear Jack. I loved the gentleness of all those 'vintage' love songs. One of my favorites is "Love Is A Many Splendored Thing." I danced my first slow dance to that music at my first dance in junior high back in the day. Very special times. Thanks for your lovely words today, Jack. Have a splendid Sunday, hugs for today, Sara
