A Silly Old Love Song

A silly old love song From a few years ago Touched every fibre Of my inner soul It described with passion How I felt at the time Things couldn't be better Everything was in rhyme But time isn't constant Things start to change Roles get reversed And our life rearranged The flame starts to flicker Then darkness inside Again we start searching For that magical ride Uncertainty reigns Our confidence shattered Things once important No longer mattered Until that new day When we feel it once more That touching of hearts Spirits that soar A silly old love song From a few years ago Once more touches My innermost soul ©Jack Ellison 2012

Third stanza is so true. Sometimes we just have to learn to adjust to all the changes happening around us. This is a beautiful one..music has a way of touching the soul like none other. Will have to give the song a listen. Always, Laura

Now I am curios what love song from 2010 inspired this.

To answer your question, this song was popular at a very sweet time in my life... 1983! "Tonight I Celebrate My Love For You" by Peabo Bryson and Roberta Flack!
