Poem
Sometimes a song can take me back Make my memories come alive To a time when love was a way of life And families struggled to survive Sometimes I get a little mellow When I listen to an old love tune And dream of days long gone How they passed by too soon Sneaking my first cigarette I don’t think that I was ten And listening to the AM radio While the Kalin Twins sang “When” We grew up with real music That helped us bear our heavy load When Gogi sang “The Wayward Wind” And Mitchum told us about “Thunder Road” Sometimes when I’m down, I think about the past And a different way of life I’ll listen to Lloyd sing about “Stagger Lee” Or Bobby relate the tale of “Mack The Knife” There were a lot of question and a lot of answers Some were wrong and some were right Like “Does Your Chewing Gum Lose it’s Flavor On the Bed Post Over Night” Sometimes those songs bring a tear or two But they always bring me joy While Jimmy crooned “Just A Dream” And the Shirelles loved their “Soldier Boy” When Jim Ed Brown sang of “Scarlet Ribbons” And Perry said, “Catch a Falling Star” Dee Clark was calling “Hey Little Girl” Johnny was thinking “Chances Are” Sometimes I wish I could return To the days of my childhood Just to hear Johnny Ray sing “Cry” Or Chuck wail “Johnny B. Goode” Jimmie sang about a “Honeycomb” And “Kisses Sweeter Than Wine” The Orlons were meeting on “South Street” The Chiffons said “He’s So Fine.” Skeeter thought it was “the End of The World” Because she lost her one and only The Beach Boys said “Don’t Worry Baby” Roy Sang for “Only The Lonely” Sometimes.
