Dear Beverly

Just stopped by to say hello.

           You remembered me.

Always.

You called 'em tunes, not songs or music.
Tunes.   Funny way of putting it.
From Led Zeppelin to country ... eclectic.

You could listen to Toby Keith all day.
Get in your car, crank up the volume
and just rock out. 

Pitter patter of your hands on the steering wheel
as you followed along with the "tune."

Have one of your favorites today ... enjoy.

I've got a funny feeling
The moment that your lips touched mine
Something shot right through me
My heart skipped a beat in time

There's a different feel about you tonight
It's got me thinkin' lots of crazy things
I even think I saw a flash of light
It felt like electricity

You shouldn't kiss me like this
Unless you mean it like that
Cause I'll just close my eyes
And I won't know where I'm at
We'll get lost on this dance floor
Spinnin' around
And around
And around
And around

They're all watchin' us now
They think we're falling in love
They'd never believe we're just friends
When you kiss me like this
I think you mean it like that
If you do baby kiss me again

Everybody swears we make the perfect pair
But dancing is as far as it goes
Girl you've never moved me quite
The way you moved me tonight
I just wanted you to know
I just wanted you to know

You shouldn't kiss me like this
Unless you mean it like that
Cause I'll just close my eyes
And I won't know where I'm at
We'll get lost on this dance floor
Spinnin' around
And around
And around
And around

They're all watchin' us now
They think we're falling in love
They'd never believe we're just friends
When you kiss me like this
I think you mean it like that
If you do baby kiss me again
Kiss me again

Dear Beverly

You've been in my heart and on my mind.
Just stopped by to say hello.

             Mi Amor, you remembered me.

Always.

Irony?  A cruel joke?

Or just amusing in a cosmic sense?

A six minute car ride away from your childhood home.
A six minute car ride away from where you went to high school.
A six minute car ride away from where I first met your mom.

She thought well of me.  
Let me sleep on the couch.
We would talk over coffee in the morning.
Trusted me with her daughter.

You and I played nine-ball in the garage.
I'm sure the table is something your brothers left behind.

We played dominoes in the kitchen with Leroy.

Now they are all just memories separated by decades,
But the place where all these memories happened
is only six minutes away by car.

Have a tune today from your favorite ... your boy Toby

           Smile.
