Please play a song for me Jan, in flashback A song that brings lovely memories back I well remember days from long ago How we adored our musical maestro.

It shakes the foundations of who you are, Toppling memories like crumbling buildings, Leaving nothing but dust where laughter once stood.

Sweet Flashback
Life is a quest fascinating and sweet, It's a book with many empty sheets. At times you may ride the roller coaster, Or you may feel you are riding a roadster. Ups and downs, highs and lows, Cherry and merry, all the way. Life is a thrilling journey, Of happiness and trouble loads. When you have a flashback of...
