My Favourite Songs

I saw you across the room
You were with my best friend
Dancing to a slow song -Harvest Moon
You held her tightly in your arms
Then planted a passionate kiss
Oh Its My Party and i will cry if I want to
Cry if I want to and I did

I was deeply hurt and shocked
If You Could Read My Mind 
You would know my hurtful thoughts
Oh my heart aches so badly 
So your friend came up to me
He spoke calmly softly
He called me Blue Angel
Said he would never leave me 
Feelings he had for me was strongBlue Bayyou

Strong feelings for me
He said "Together we would go
to the BlueBayou where the 
sailboats go a float int Blue Bayou

My Mom used to sing "Harvest Moon" while doing housework. Gotta love "If You Could Read My Mind," Darlene. You chose your songs well, though I barely remember "It's My Party." "Blue Bayou" by Ronstadt was beautiful! Very nicely done. Wishing you success in the contest! Hugs, Carolyn
