Dear Beverly

You are in my heart on this sunny winter's morn.

         Oh Doll, you remembered me.

Always.

Up early ... sunny day promised.
Hopeful.

Miss your smile.

Have a tune for you today from one of my favorite tunesmiths
"Should I say that it's a blue world without you" 
So true ... enjoy.

Link:  Paul Williams: Nice to be Around

Hello such a simple way to start a love affair
Should I jump right in and say how much I care
Would you take me for a mad man or a simple hearted clown
Hello with affection from a sentimental fool
To a little girl who's broken of every rule
One who brings me up when all the others seem to let me down
One whose nice to be around

Should I say that it's a blue world without you
Nice words I remember from an old love song
But all wrong, cause I never called it love before
This feeling's new - this came with you

And I know that the nicest things that never seem to last
That we're both a bit embarrassed by our past
But I think there's something special in the feelings that we've found
And you're nice to be around
And you're nice to be around

Dear Beverly

Just stopped in to say hello

            You remembered me.

Always.

Doing what I can, but it's not much.
Hopefully the puzzle will the lead the way.


      •              •              •

      •              •              •

      •              •              •

Four straight lines to connect all nine dots.
Without lifting the pencil off of the page.

Doing the same thing over and over again doesn't work.

Have a tune for you today.   

When you discovered the meaning to the words
of this tune it took on a new meaning for you.
It was a time when your mother protected you
and you could begin to grow beyond
how you were being defined ... sadly, time ran out. 

Enjoy.

Link:  Mocedades: Eres Tú

Like a promise, you are, you are [to me]
Like a summer morning.
Like a smile, you are, you are [to me]
That's how, that's how, you are [that's how I perceive you]

You are like my hope, you are, you are [to me]
Like a fresh rain in my hands
Like a strong breeze, you are, you are [to me]
That's how, that's how, you are [that's how I perceive you]

You are the source of my water
You are the warmth in my home
You are (You are something like, ohhhh)
Like the fire in my fireplace (something like the fire from my fireplace)
You are (You are something like, ohhhh)
The wheat of my bread (my love, you are something like that).

Like my poem, you are, you are [to me]
Like a guitar in the night,
you are all my horizon, you are [to me]
That's how, that's how, you are [that's how I perceive you]

You are the source of my water
You are the warmth in my home
You are (You are something like, ohhhh)
Like the fire in my fireplace (something like the fire from my fireplace)
You are (You are something like, ohhhh)
The wheat of my bread (my love, you are something like that).

You are...

Dear Beverly

Just stopped in to say how much I miss you.

            Mi Amor, you remembered me.

Always.

It is always the little things

that trigger; set off the memories.

A tune; a thought …

not sure if it is good or bad. 

Can’t be bad.

I try to stay away from

the third rail of anger; of hate.

It can consume … I know that.

Have a tune for you today …

Upbeat; fun … enjoy.

Link:  Randy Houser: How Country Feels

You were raised on an asphalt farm
Ain't never heard a rooster crow
Never walked barefoot by a river
Felt the mud up between your toes

You never rolled in the hay
You never thrown it in four wheel
Climb up on here girl
Let me show you how country feels

Let your hair down, hair down
Get you some of this laid on back
Kick your shoes off, kick 'em off
Get you some of this slow down fast
I'll take you up and down these hollers and hills
Let me show you how country feels

You ever watched the sun go down
From the bed of a pickup truck
Ever been so into somebody
You're still lying there when it comes back up

Girl what do you say?
Cut a path through that cornfield
Park down by the water
Let me show you how country feels

Let your hair down, hair down
Get you some of this laid on back
Kick your shoes off, kick 'em off
Get you some of this slow down fast
I'll take you up and down these hollers and hills
Let me show you how country feels

Let your hair down
Get you some of this laid on back
Kick your shoes off (Kick your shoes off)

Let your hair down, hair down
Get you some of this laid on back
Kick your shoes off, kick 'em off
Get you some of this slow down fast
I'll take you up and down these hollers and hills
Let me show you how country feels
Country feels

Dear Beverly

Just stopped in to say hello.

         You remembered me.

Always.

Cold.

How many more days until

the giant rodent sees his shadow?

Can’t come fast enough.

Have a tune for you today.

Something soft and sweet.

Enjoy.

Link:   Air Supply: Here I Am

Here I am playing with those memories again
And just when I thought time had set me free
Those thoughts of you keep taunting me

Holding you, a feeling I never outgrew
Though each and every part of me has tried
Only you can fill that space inside

So there's no sense pretending
My heart it's not mending

Just when I thought I was over you
And just when I thought I could stand on my own
Oh baby those memories come crashing through
And I just can't go on without

On my own I've tried to make the best of it alone
I've done everything I can to ease the pain
But only you can stop the rain

I just can't live without you
I miss everything about you

Just when I thought I was over you
And just when I thought I could stand on my own
Oh baby those memories come crashing through
And I just can't go on without
Go on without
It's just no good without you

Dear Beverly

Just stopped in to say hello.

            You remembered me.

Always.

Feel like I've been run over.
Stopped raining.    Sun is out.
Cats happy.   Wish I was.
Maybe I'll go back to bed.
Yuck. 

Have a tune for you today ... enjoy.

Link:   Keith Urban: Somebody Like You


There's a new wind blowin' like I've never known
I'm breathin' deeper than I've ever done
And it sure feels good, to finally feel the way I do

Now, I wanna love somebody
Love somebody like you

An' I'm lettin' go of all my lonely yesterdays
I've forgiven myself for the mistakes I've made
Now there's just one thing, the only thing I wanna do, mmm, mmm

I wanna love somebody
Love somebody like you

Yeah, I wanna feel the sunshine
Shinin' down on me and you
When you put your arms around me
You let me know there's nothing in this world I can't do

I used to run in circles goin' no-where fast
I'd take, uh, one step forward and two steps back
Couldn't walk a straight line even if I wanted to, mmm, mmm

I wanna love somebody
Love somebody like you
Whoa here we go now

Yeah, I wanna feel the sunshine
Shinin' down on me and you
When you put your arms around me
Well, baby there ain't nothing in this world I can't do

Sometimes it's hard for me to understand
But you're teachin' me to be a better man
I don't want to take this life for granted like I used to do, no, no

I wanna love somebody
Love somebody like you
I'm ready to love somebody
Love somebody like you, ooh

An' I wanna love somebody
Love somebody like you, yeah

Oh yeah oh, I wanna be the man in the middle of the night
Shinin' like it's true
I wanna be the man that you run to whenever I call on you
When everything that loved someone finally found it's way
Wanna be a better man, I see it in you, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, you wanna believe it

Dear Beverly

Just stopped in to say hello.

          Mi Amor, you remembered me.

Always.

Dark, rainy ... sun not up yet.
A few moments to reflect.
Memories to play with.

Hard not to be sad on such a dreary day.

Have a tune for you today ...
A fun one ... enjoy.

Link:  Ray Stevens: Everything is Beautiful

Jesus loves the little children
All the little children of the world
Red and yellow, black and white
They are precious in his sight
Jesus loves the little children of the world

Everything is beautiful
In its' own way
Like a starry summer night
Or a snow covered winter's day
Everybody's beautiful
In their own way
Under God's heaven
The world's gonna find a way

There is none so blind
That is he who will not see
We must not close our minds
We must let our thought be free
For every hour that passes by
You know the world
Gets a little bit older
It's time to realize
That beauty lies
In the eyes of the beholder

Everything is beautiful
In its' own way
Like a starry summer nights
Or a snow covered winter's day
Ah, sing it children
Everybody's beautiful
In their own way
Under God's heaven
The world's gonna find a way

We shouldn't care
About the length of his hair
Or the color of his skin
Don't worry about
what shows from without
but the love that lives within
We're gonna get it all together now
Everything gonna work out fine
Just take a little time
to look on the good side my friend
And straighten it out in your mind

Everything is beautiful
In its' own way
Like a starry summer nights
Or a snow covered winter's day
Ah, sing it children
Everybody's beautiful
In their own way
Under God's heaven
The world's gonna find a way

One more time
Everything is beautiful
In its' own way
Like a starry summer nights

Dear Beverly

Just stopped by to say that you are in my heart this early morning.

           Doll, you remembered me.

Always.

Less than a month until
the pitchers and catchers report.

Couldn't tell it from the weather
in most of the country,
but baseball is right the corner.

Have a tune for you today ... enjoy.

Link:   Albert Hammond: It Never Rains in Southern California

Got on board a westbound 747
Didn't think before deciding what to do
Ooh, that talk of opportunities
TV breaks and movies
Rang true
Sure rang true

Seems it never rains in southern California
Seems I've often heard that kind of talk before
It never rains in California
But girl don't they warn ya
It pours, man it pours

Out of work, I'm out of my head
Out of self respect, I'm out of bread
I'm underloved, I'm underfed, I wanna go home
It never rains in California
But girl don't they warn ya
It pours, man it pours

Will you tell the folks back home I nearly made it
Had offers but didn't know which one to take
Please don't tell 'em how you found me
Don't tell 'em how you found me
Gimme a break, give me a break

Seems it never rains in southern California
Seems I've often heard that kind of talk before
It never rains in California
But girl don't they warn ya
It pours, man it pours
