Dear Beverly

Hello, just stopped in to say hello and how much I miss you.

         You remembered me.

Always.

Long day ahead,

But want to reflect for a moment.

A quite time before the work begins.

A moment to think back on moments that have slipped away.

A smile; your smile.

The funny way you had with words.

I was so thankful that we found peace.

I was so sad that you felt you had to go.

Country tune for you this morning … Enjoy.

Jon Pardi: Missin' You Crazy

Been running this highway like a greyhound

Ain't nothing left for me to see
And sometimes I just wish that I could break down
And get on back to you and me
Take the next line and leave this crazy life
Get back home in time to kiss you goodnight

And oh-h-hh lately all I think about
Oh-h-hh is what we could be doing now
Oh-h-hh baby, here I go again
Missin you crazy

Sitting here listening to your sweet voice
Talkin on the telephone
It's making me realize I ain't got no choice
Between staying here and gettin gone
I'm gonna say goodbye
Yeah, I'm gonna fly
Get these arms of mine back where they belong

And oh-h-hh lately all I think about
Oh-h-hh is what we could be doing now
Oh-h-hh baby, here I go again
Missin you crazy

And oh-h-hh lately all I think about
Oh-h-hh is what we could be doing now
Oh-h-hh baby, here I go again
Oh-h-hh baby, here I go again
Missin you crazy
Missin you crazy

Dear Beverly

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

         Oh Doll, you remembered me.

Always.

December begins with sadness and sorrow.

40 years ago this month ended with joy and happiness.

Seems like only yesterday.

I try to remember the good times.

I try to remember the smile; the laugh.

It goes by so quickly ... capture the moments; savor.

Have a tune for you today … mellow; melancholy … enjoy

The Sandpipers: Try to Remember

Try to remember the kind of September
when life was slow and oh, so mellow.
Try to remember the kind of September
when grass was green and grain was yellow.
Try to remember the kind of September
when you were a tender and callow fellow,
Try to remember and if you remember the follow.

Try to remember when life was so tender
that no one wept except the willow.
Try to remember when life was so tender that
dreams were kept beside your pillow.
Try to remember when life was so tender that
love was an ember about to billow.
Try to remember and if you remember then follow.

Deep in December it's nice to remember
altho you know the snow will follow.
Deep in December it's nice to remember
without the hurt the heart is hollow.
Deep in December it's nice to remember
the fire of September that made us mellow.
Deep in December our hearts should remember and follow.

Dear Beverly

Just stopped by on this rainy Friday to say hello.

           Mi Amor, you remembered me.

Always.

Gloomy day, but no sad tunes today.

I gotta chase those blues away

Chase those blues away

A smile from you would do that.

          Smile.

Have a tune for you today from 1972 … enjoy.

The Gallery: It's So Nice To Be With You

Oh, it's so nice to be with you
I love all the things ya say and do
And it's so nice to hear you say
You're gonna please me in every way
Honey, I got the notion
You're causin' commotion in my soul

Baby, you and me have got somethin' that's real
I know it's gonna last a lifetime

At night I call your name
Darkness fills my room, I'm only dreamin'
About the time I'm gonna be with you

Oh, it's so nice to be with you
I love all the things ya say and do
And it's so nice to hear you say
You're gonna please me in every way
Honey, I got the notion
You're causin' commotion in my soul

When I'm feelin' down
You're there to pick me up and help me to carry on
Aww, little things mean a lot
When you need a shoulder to cry on
I'm there to ease the pain and chase away the rain
Aww, darlin', I just gotta say

Oh, it's so nice to be with you
I love all the things ya say and do
And it's so nice to hear you say
You're gonna please me in every way

Dear Beverly

Stopped by to say hello.

           You remembered me.

Always.

Tomorrow, no sad songs
Tomorrow the sun will shine
But today, it is sad and gloomy.

Have a tune for you today ... enjoy

Cassadee Pope: Over You 

Weather man said it’s gonna snow
By now I should be used to the cold
Mid-February shouldn’t be so scary
It was only December
I still remember the presents, the tree, you and me

But you went away
How dare you?
I miss you
They say I’ll be OK
But I’m not going to ever get over you

Living alone here in this place
I think of you, and I’m not afraid
Your favorite records make me feel better
Cause you sing along
With every song
I know you didn’t mean to give them to me

But you went away
How dare you?
I miss you
They say I’ll be OK
But I’m not going to ever get over you

It really sinks in, you know, when I see it in stone

Cause you went away,
How dare you?
I miss you
They say I’ll be OK
But I’m not going to ever get over you

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.
