I was blind to unspoken love [Simon & Garfunkel] the sound of silence - we dance to the rhythm of our hearts [Lady Antebellum] need you now - the rose petals keep falling…down [A Rocket to the Moon] baby blue eyes - heaven reflected in the swell of the sea [Mary Hopkin] those were the days …and then your hand slipped out of mine [Sting] fields of gold - the setting sun ripples on water [Ronan Keating] when you say nothing at all - searching for reassurance in your eyes - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - © May 2022

. . . This is beautiful in every way. You know how I enjoy listening to music, so finding a favorite line is difficult. However, this one leaves me breathless. "the sound of silence - we dance to the rhythm of our hearts." I am holding your thoughts so close. :) Brandy
