Today is the anniversary of my mother Evelyn's passing.
She was 34 when she died. It was Oct 6th, 1976, I was 14.
My brother Shannon was 8 and my sister Missy was 6.
It is the single most significant event in my younger years.
It changed the course of my life profoundly.
In honor of my mom I would like to share with you 2 songs from one of her favorite artists.
My mom liked Anne Murray. And in the 70's Anne Murray was everywhere on the radio.
DANNY'S SONG by Kenny Loggins
People smile and tell me I'm the lucky one
And we've just begun, I think I'm gonna have a son
He will be like you and me, as free as a dove
Conceived in love, the sun is gonna shine above
CHORUS
And even though we ain't got money
I'm so in love with ya honey
Everything bring a chain of lo-o-o-o-ve
And in the mornin' when I rise
Bring a tear of joy to my eyes
And tell me everything's gonna be all right
Love a guy who holds the world in a paper cup
Drink it up, love him and he'll bring you luck
And if ya find he helps your mind, better take him ho-ome
Yeah 'n' dontcha live alone, try to earn what lovers own
CHORUS
COULD I HAVE THIS DANCE by Wayland Hollyfield and Bob House
I'll always remember the song they were playin',
The first time we danced and I knew,
As we swayed to the music and held to each other,
I fell in love with you.
Could I have this dance for the rest of my life?
Would you be my partner every night?
When we're together, it feels so right.
Could I have this dance for the rest of my life?
I'll always remember that magic moment,
When I held you close to me.
'Cause we moved together, I knew forever,
You're all I'll ever need
Could I have this dance for the rest of my life?
Would you be my partner every night?
When we're together, it feels so right.
Could I have this dance for the rest of my life?
