Dear Beverly

Just stopped in to say that you are in my heart and on my mind.

             Mi Amor.   You remembered me.

Always.

Your Boys.
Your Boys in Blue.
Your Los Angeles Dodgers.

How you loved them and baseball.

Keeping score and checking out the schedule each year for the Bobble-Head promotions.

How sweet.
How endearing.

Pink(sssss)berry, Tunes and Dodger Bobble-Head Dolls.
You in a nutshell.

           Smile.

Have a tune for you today ... Kenny Chesney's latest, enjoy.

"I've been waitin' for you ... I've been lookin' for you."

Found in you my heart.

Kenny Chesney: El Cerrito Place

I been hangin' round this place, I been lookin' through your space
I've been waitin' for you, I've been waitin' for you
All the places that you go, all the people that you know
I've been lookin' for you, I've been lookin' for you

And all these pretty people up on El Cerrito Place
They all got somethin' in their pockets, all got somethin' on their face
They roll down to La Brea where it meets the boulevard
Singin' hallelujah while they dance over the stars
They all say they're goin' far

Me I've been lookin' for you baby, I've been lookin' for you baby
I've been lookin' for you baby, I've been lookin' for you baby
All night long, all night long, all night long

Someone said they might have seen you where the ocean meets the land
So I've been out here all night lookin' for your footprints in the sand
Did you hear the ocean singing, baby did you sing along
While you danced out in the water to some ol' forgotten song,
Were you even here at all?

Me I've been lookin' for you baby, I've been lookin' for you baby
I've been lookin' for you baby, I've been lookin' for you baby
All night long, all night long, all night long

Somehow I wound up in the desert just after daylight
Where the Joshua Trees grow that little place you always liked
These pioneer town people ain't got too much to say
And if you ever were here baby they ain't givin' you away

Now it's been two days
I'm still lookin' for you baby, I've been lookin' for you baby
I've been lookin' for you baby, I've been lookin' for you baby
All night long, all night long, all night long

And all these pretty people up on El Cerrito Place
They all got somethin' in their pockets, all got somethin' on their face

Someone said they might have seen you where the ocean meets the land
So I've been out here all night lookin' for your footprints in the sand

Think I'll go back to the city, back to El Cerrito Place
That's the last time that I saw that pretty smile upon your face
I've been lookin' for you baby   

Dear Beverly

Stopped by to say hello.

         You remembered me.

Always.

Love and Honor.

When a human being,
makes no difference if man or woman,
stands naked before the world
that is all that remains.

Love and Honor.

Take away the trappings of
wealth, power and prestige,
the "things" that mark their lives
and what then remains?

If not Love and Honor,
then what?


If these two things,
Love and Honor,

are not within them,
then what are all of the
other things worth?


"How could I have known that you'd ever say goodbye" ... so true.
The voice on the phone, "just wanted to hear your voice one more time."
I didn't know it was "goodbye."

"I could have missed that pain
But I'd of had to miss the dance"



Have a tune for you today ... enjoy.

Garth Brooks: The Dance


Looking back on the memory of
The dance we shared 'neath the stars alone
For a moment all the world was right
How could I have known that you'd ever say goodbye

And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end the way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance
I could have missed the pain
But I'd of had to miss the dance

Holding you I held everything
For a moment wasn't I a king
But if I'd only known how the king would fall
Hey, who's to say you know I might have chanced it all

And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end the way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance
I could have missed the pain
But I'd of had to miss the dance

Yes, my life is better left to chance
I could have missed the pain
But I'd of had to miss the dance

Dear Beverly

Just stopped by to say hello.  
You are on my mind and in my heart this morning.

           Oh Doll, you remembered me.

Always.

A gloomy Monday.  
Gray skies as far as the eye can see.

Can't help but be down in the dumps, just a little.

Have an appropriate tune for you today.
Loved how they weren't songs, but "tunes" to you.

How anyone could have hurt you escapes me.
All you every wanted in life was to be loved.

The Carpenters: Rainy Days and Mondays

Talkin' to myself and feelin' old
Sometimes I'd like to quit
Nothing ever seems to fit
Hangin' around
Nothing to do but frown
Rainy Days and Mondays always get me down.

What I've got they used to call the blues
Nothin' is really wrong
Feelin' like I don't belong
Walkin' around
Some kind of lonely clown
Rainy Days and Mondays always get me down.

Funny but it seems I always wind up here
with you
Nice to know somebody loves me

Funny but it seems that it's the only thing to do
Run and find the one who loves me.

What I feel has come and gone before
No need to talk it out
We know what it's all about
Hangin' around
Nothing to do but frown
Rainy Days and Mondays always get me down. 

Dear Beverly

Just stopped in to say hello.

          Mi Amor.   You remembered me.

Always.

The Ohio State University beat Michigan in a close game.
Missed it ... was in bed all day with a nasty bug.
A truly nasty bugs.   Yuck.

Have a tune for you today ... an oldie, enjoy.

Platters: Smoke Gets in Your Eyes

Baby,
They asked me how I knew
My true love was true
I of course replied
"Something here inside
Cannot be denied"

They said someday you'll find
All who love are blind
When your heart's on fire
You must realise
Smoke gets in your eyes

So I chaffed and I gaily laughed
To think they would doubt my love
Yet today, my love has flown away
I am without my love

Now laughing friends deride
Tears I cannot hide
So I smile and say
"When a lovely flame dies,
Smoke gets in your eyes."

Dear Beverly

-->

Just stopped in to say hello.

       You remembered me.

Always.

Big game this morning.

Michigan vs The Ohio State University.

I know it wasn’t your thing.

Dodgers; you boys; your boys in blue.

That was your world.

Have a tune for you today … enjoy.

The Police: Every Breath You Take

Every breath you take
Every move you make
Every bond you break
Every step you take
I'll be watching you.

Every single day
Every word you say
Every game you play
Every night you stay
I'll be watching you.

Oh can't you see
You belong to me?
How my poor heart aches with every step you take.

Every move you make
Every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake
I'll be watching you.

Since you've gone I've been lost without a trace.
I dream at night, I can only see your face.
I look around but it's you I can't replace.
I feel so cold, and I long for your embrace.
I keep crying baby, baby please...

Every move you make
Every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake
I'll be watching you.

Every move you make
Every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake
I'll be watching you...

Dear Beverly

Good morning, just stopped by to say that you are in my heart and on my mind.

           Oh Doll, you remembered me.

Always.

Thanksgiving with family.

Wondered how you would have spent the day.

It would have been a day to have your kids with you.

A chance to smile.

A chance to laugh.

A chance to talk and catch up on things.

 

A chance to say, “I love you.”

A chance for them to say, “I love you, mom.”

A chance … a chance … a chance, no longer.

Have a tune for you today … enjoy.

Big & Rich: That's Why I Pray

Oh oh oh oh, oh oh, yeah

Man on the TV’s gone insane, everybody’s just laughing
People ’cross the world holding on
The earth caved in, the ocean came down crashing
My neighbor lost his house ’cause he can’t find a job
Don’t you dare pledge allegiance, don’t you dare speak of God
Speak of God
Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!

Now I’m begging for forgiveness
I wanna make a difference even in the smallest way
I’m only one person, but I can feel it working
I believe in better days
That’s why I pray

Some stupid video posted as a joke, somebody’s life gets ruined
Out of everything we can create
Where is the cure to keep the sick from losing
Babies having babies ’cause their parents are always gone
Somehow we have forgotten how to make a house a home
How to make a house a home
Oh! Oh! Yeah! Yeah!

I’m begging for forgiveness, I wanna make a difference
Even in the smallest way
I’m only one person, but I can feel it working
I believe in better days
That’s why I pray, yeah
That’s why I pray, yeah

These demons from my past haunt me every night
And I just can’t get through it
If I could forget them on my own, I’ll let go and just move on
But heaven knows I am only human

And that’s why I pray, yeah yeah
That’s why I pray, I pray, I pray, I pray

Yes I’m begging for forgiveness

Dear Beverly

Just stopped in to say hello.

            Mi Amor, you remembered me.

Happy Thanksgiving.
Happy indeed, letter arrived yesterday.
All is well.   You'd be happy to hear that.

It's all good.  It's all good.

Have a tune for you today ... enjoy.

Sugarland Tonight

If words could make it real I'd tell you how I feel
Instead I'm waiting here on my knees, love
I know how it feels to breath with you beside me
I think about it always

Tonight, tonight, tonight
I'm waiting for, waiting for the night
Tonight, tonight, tonight
I'm waiting for, waiting for

A lifetime for a day would be an even trade
No price I wouldn't pay for your heart, love
I know how it feels to breath with you beside me
I think about it always

Tonight, tonight, tonight
I'm waiting for, waiting for the night
Tonight, tonight, tonight
I'm waiting for, waiting for

Tonight, tonight, tonight
Tonight, tonight, tonight
Tonight, tonight, tonight
Tonight, tonight, tonight
Tonight, tonight, tonight
Tonight, tonight

Tonight, tonight, tonight
I'm waiting for, waiting for the night
Tonight, tonight, tonight
I'm waiting for, waiting for

Tonight, tonight, tonight
Tonight, tonight, tonight
Tonight, tonight, tonight
