Song Lyric Sunday

This is a good one Mr. Jim. Me and the husband just went down his memory lane of when the girls use to dump him. It was always the same. “Let’s be friends, I need some time. I’m scared. ” He says there must be manual girls are given to dump a guy. He is too funny and always makes me laugh.

My song for today is, “Billy Ray Cyrus/Words by Heart”

Words by Heart

I was goin’ through the closet
Back in my old home
Found my letterman’s jacket, so I slipped it on
Deep in the pocket, still folded up tight
Was the letter you wrote to tell me goodbye
The minute I saw it I just had to smile
It smelled like old leather, as smooth as a child
I took a deep breath, then put it away
There was no need to read, I knew just what it would sayI know the words by heart, I know every line
From “this ain’t easy” to “you’ll get along just fine”
I know every comma, every question mark
No, I don’t have to look, I know the words by heartScenes like home movies flash through my head
The homecoming game, that night on my bed
The words that you wrote still cut me in two
How you said you still cared but that we were throughI know the words by heart, I know every line
From “this ain’t easy” to “you’ll get along just fine”
I know every comma, every question mark
No, I don’t have to look, I know the words by heartAin’t it funny how a memory 
Can play tricks on your mind
I don’t remember a thing from my classes
But I can quote you every lineI took off my jacket and put it away
With your note in the pocket 
Like I found it that day
Poured me a beer, then pictured your face
And drank a silent toast to things that time can’t eraseI know the words by heart, I know every line
From “this ain’t easy” to “you’ll get along just fine”
I know every comma, every question mark
No, I don’t have to look, I know the words by heartI know the words by heart, I know every line
From “this ain’t easy” to “you’ll get along just fine”
I know every comma, every question mark
No, I don’t have to look, I know the words by heart

I also have a second song that I enjoy watching. It reminds me of me back in the day and also sends a message to all my critics…Success is the best revenge. I will never, never quit <3 Blessing Blogger’s on your Sunday…I know I just posted this song by Toby Keith a couple of weeks ago, but I really love it…Obviously 😉

Happy Song Lyric Sunday …

This seemed like an appropriate song for today’s prompt from Mr. Jim…

The Bug…Mary Chapin Carpenter

Well it’s a strange old game you learn it slow
One step forward and it’s back you go
You’re standing on the throttle
You’re standing on the brake
In the groove ’til you make a mistake

Sometimes you’re the windshield
Sometimes you’re the bug
Sometimes it all comes together baby
Sometimes you’re just a fool in love
Sometimes you’re the Louisville Slugger
Sometimes you’re the ball
Sometimes it all comes together
Sometimes you’re gonna lose it all

You gotta know happy – you gotta know glad
Because you’re gonna know lonely
And you’re gonna know sad
When you’re rippin’ and you’re ridin’
And you’re coming on strong
You start slippin’ and slidin’
And it all goes wrong because

Sometimes you’re the windshield
Sometimes you’re the bug
Sometimes it all comes together baby
Sometimes you’re just a fool in love
Sometimes you’re the Louisville Slugger
Sometimes you’re the ball
Sometimes it all comes together
Sometimes you’re gonna lose it all

One day you got the glory and then you got none
One day you’re a diamond and then you’re a stone
Everything can change in the blink of an eye
So let the good times roll before we say goodbye because

Sometimes you’re the windshield
Sometimes you’re the bug
Sometimes it all comes together baby
Sometimes you’re just a fool in love
Sometimes you’re the Louisville Slugger
Sometimes you’re the ball
Sometimes it all comes together
Sometimes you’re gonna lose it all

Sometimes you’re the windshield
Sometimes you’re the bug
Sometimes it all comes together baby
Sometimes you’re just a fool in love

Sometimes you’re the windshield
Sometimes you’re the bug
Sometimes it all comes together baby
Sometimes you’re just a fool in love

Happy Fourth of July…Y A Y & Song Lyric Sunday

Happy 4th of July

This is one of my favorite holiday’s !!! It’s summer, I love to BBQ on the grill, Fireworks are just the best…What’s not to love. Still missing the carnivals and summer concerts !!! Next year will be better I hope that we can get back to the summer festivals and concerts. I’m really missing those, at least I have the memories which will have to do for now. Jim’s pick for today’s Song Lyric Sunday is, “American Music <3 ” I remember a staple of our’s in summers past. They were of course the, “Ides of March” summer concerts at the festivals we use to go too. So much fun. The Ides are a Chicago staple, Jim Peterik who is the lead singer of the band is a native of Berwyn (a suburb of Chicago).

Summerfest, Milwaukee…Me and Jim Peterik <3

Because they were a local we always got seats right up front and Jim Peterik kind of got to know us. In fact at one of their concerts he came right down in the audience and kissed me during the song, “Searching.” I’ll never forget, it was the thrill of a lifetime 😉 .

My song for today is one of their biggest hits and he always waits til the end of the concert, i.e. the last song to play it…That would be, “Vehicle” of course !!!

He really is an amazing artist, performer, singer, writer, yadayadayada <3 An all around great guy. Makes you feel like your just one of his friends <3 I’ll be looking forward to seeing him and his band, the Ides performing again <3 …

Hope all of you are enjoying your summer and having the best 4th of July ever. Eat all the great food you can and celebrate this country. Because I’ve always said, “If your lucky enough to live in America, then you are lucky enough !!!”

Happy Sunday, Happy Song Lyric Sunday

Very good pic for this Memorial Day Weekend…

Definitely one of my favs <3 !!!!

Thank you Mz. Lisa <3 for today’s prompt … This week’s prompt is:  May 30th, 2021 – City/Country/County/State/Town suggested by Lisa Coleman…

Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue (The Angry American)

American girls and American guys
We’ll always stand up and salute
We’ll always recognize
When we see Old Glory flying
There’s a lot of men dead
So we can sleep in peace at night when we lay down our headMy daddy served in the army
Where he lost his right eye but he flew a flag out in our yard
Until the day that he died
He wanted my mother, my brother, my sister and me
To grow up and live happy
In the land of the freeNow this nation that I love has fallen under attack
A mighty sucker punch came flyin’ in from somewhere in the back
Soon as we could see clearly
Through our big black eye
Man, we lit up your world
Like the fourth of JulyHey Uncle Sam, put your name at the top of his list
And the Statue of Liberty started shakin’ her fist
And the eagle will fly man, it’s gonna be hell
When you hear mother freedom start ringin’ her bell
And it feels like the whole wide world is raining down on you
Brought to you courtesy of the red white and blueJustice will be served and the battle will rage
This big dog will fight when you rattle his cage
And you’ll be sorry that you messed with
The U.S. of A.
‘Cause we’ll put a boot in your ass
It’s the American wayHey uncle sam put your name at the top of his list
And the Statue of Liberty started shakin’ her fist
And the eagle will fly it’s gonna be hell
When you hear mother freedom start ringin’ her bell
And it feels like the whole wide world is raining down on you
Brought to you courtesy of the red white and blueOh oh of the red, white and blue
Oh oh of my red, white and blue

God Bless the USA

God Bless the USA

If tomorrow all my things were gone,
I’d worked for all my life.
And I had to start again,
With just my children and my wife.I’d thank my lucky stars,
To be livin’ here today.
‘Cause the flag still stands for freedom,
And they can’t take that away.And I’m proud to be an American,
Where at least I know I’m free.
And I won’t forget the men who died,
Who gave that right to me.
And I gladly stand up,
Next to you and defend her still today.
‘Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land,
God bless the USA.From the lakes of Minnesota,
To the hills of Tennessee.
Across the plains of Texas,
From sea to shining sea.From Detroit down to Houston,
And New York to L.A.
Well there’s pride in every American heart,
And its time we stand and say.That I’m proud to be an American,
Where at least I know I’m free.
And I wont forget the men who died,
Who gave that right to me.
And I gladly stand up,
Next to you and defend her still today.
‘Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land,
God bless the USA.And I’m proud to be an American,
Where at least I know I’m free.
And I wont forget the men who died,
Who gave that right to me.
And I gladly stand up,
Next to you and defend her still today.
‘Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land,
God bless the USA.

Happy Memorial Day…Enjoy <3

Happy Song Lyric Sunday

Happy Easter Sunday too !! It is a beautius day out here in the Midwest. I thought this would be a good song for Song Lyric Sunday…Mr. Jim’s prompt for today is

Blossom/Cherry/Flower

This is a blast from the past with two of my favorite performer’s, “Neil Diamond & Barbara Striesand singing You Don’t Bring Me Flower’s.”

You don’t bring me flowers

You don’t bring me flowers
You don’t sing me love songs
You hardly talk to me anymore
When I come through the door at the end of the day

I remember when
You couldn’t wait to love me
Used to hate to leave me
Now after lovin’ me late at night

When it’s good for you, babe
And you’re feeling alright

Well, you just roll over
And you turn out the light
And you don’t bring me flowers anymore

It used to be so natural (Used to be)
To talk about forever
But used-to-be’s don’t count anymore
They just lay on the floor ’til we sweep them away

And baby, I remember
All the things you taught me

I learned how to laugh
And I learned how to cry

Well I learned how to love
And I learned how to lie

So you’d think I could learn
How to tell you goodbye

You don’t bring me flowers anymore

Well, you’d think I could learn
How to tell you goodbye

You don’t sing to me

And you don’t sing me love songs

You don’t bring me flowers anymore

Song Lyric Sunday

Woo Hoo favorite challenge of all…Music is a great and wonderful gift. Love everything about music. I love to sing songs, I love to play the piano, I love going to concerts !!!! Everything about it soothes my soul <3 The Prompt today comes from Mr. Jim (thank you so much for showing up every week) and is Cappuccino/Coffee/Expresso/Latte/Mocha…

Today I chose the song. Usually it’s the husband who comes up with the song but not today, it’s my pick…

No Sugar Tonight//New Mother Nature…The Guess Who

No that’s the name of the group, “Guess Who.” 😉 …

Lonely feeling deep inside
Find a corner where I can hide
Silent footsteps crowding me
Sudden darkness but I can seeNo sugar tonight in my coffee
No sugar tonight in my tea
No sugar to stand beside me
No sugar to run with meIn the silence of her mind
Quiet movements where I can find
Grabbing for me with her eyes
Now I’m falling from her skiesNo sugar tonight in my coffee
No sugar tonight in my tea
No sugar to stand beside me
No sugar to run with meJocko says yes, and I believe him
When we talk about the things I say
She hasn’t got the faith or the guts to leave him
When they’re standing in each other’s way
You’re tripping back now to places you’ve been to
You wonder what you’re gonna find
You know you’ve been wrong but it won’t be long
Before you leave ’em all far behind’Cause it’s the new Mother Nature taking over
It’s the new splendid lady come to call
It’s the new Mother Nature taking over
She’s gettin’ us all
She’s gettin’ us allJocko said no, when I came back last time
It’s looking like I lost a friend
No use callin’ ’cause the sky is fallin’
And I’m getting pretty near the end
A smoke-filled room in a corner basement
The situation must be right
A bag of goodies and a bottle of wine
We’re gonna get it on right tonight’Cause it’s the new Mother Nature taking over
It’s the new splendid lady come to call
It’s the new Mother Nature taking over
She’s gettin’ us all
She’s getting’ us allJocko says yes and I believe him
(Deep inside) when we talk about the things I say
(Find a corner) she hasn’t got the faith or the guts to leave him
(Where I can hide)when they’re standin’ in each other’s way
(Silent footsteps) you’re driven back now to places you’ve been to
(Crowdin’ me) you’re wonderin’ what you’re gonna find
(Sudden darkness) you know you’ve been wrong and it won’t be long
(But I can see) before you leave ’em all far behind’Cause it’s the new Mother Nature takin’ over
It’s the new splendid lady come to call
It’s the new Mother Nature takin’ over
She’s gettin’ us all, yeah, she’s gettin’ us allDa-un-do-dow dow, da-un-do-dow (Mother Nature)
Da-un-do-dow dow, da-un-do-dow (nature)
Da-un-do-dow dow, da-un-do-dow (sugar)
Da-un-do-dow dow, da-un-do-dow (sugar)
Da-un-do-dow dow, da-un-do-dow (sugar)
Da-un-do-dow dow, da-un-do-dow (nature)
Da-un-do-dow dow, da-un-do-dow

This one takes me back to the 70’s…One of my all time favorite groups !!!! Enjoy, Happy Song Lyric Sunday <3 Blessing for your week and thanks for stopping by <3 .

Happy Freezing, Frigid Song Lyric Sunday

Good Sunday Morning from the below zero ( 😉 -20 w/c ) midwest Chicago. Now I remember why I need to move !!! I’m not going out at all today. Yes it’s a good day to be blogging and baking.

My song for song lyric Sunday prompt, “Think/Brain/Mind” from Mr. Jim is

Mind Games/John Lennon

We’re playing those mind games together
Pushing the barrier planting seed
Playing the mind guerrilla
Chanting the Mantra “peace on earth”
We all been playing those mind games forever
Some kinda druid dude lifting the veil
Doing the mind guerrilla
Some call it magic the search for the grail Love is the answer and you know that for sure
Love is a flower
You got to let it, you gotta let it grow So keep on playing those mind games together
Faith in the future out of the now
You just can’t beat on those mind guerrillas
Absolute elsewhere in the stones of your mind
Yeah we’re playing those mind games forever
Projecting our images in space and in time Yes is the answer and you know that for sure
Yes is surrender
You got to let it, you gotta let it goSo keep on playing those mind games together
Doing the ritual dance in the sun
Millions of mind guerrillas
Putting their soul power to the karmic wheel
Keep on playing those mind games forever
Raising the spirit of peace and love
Love
I want you to make love, not war
I know you’ve heard it beforeSource: LyricFindSongwriters: John LennonMind Games lyrics © Downtown Music Publishing

Song Lyric Sunday

Song Lyric Sunday…

Happy Sunday Blogger’s. It’s warm and sunny somewhere, and I wish I were there. The song prompt today is, “Even/Odd.” Given to us by Mr.Jim…A Unique Author.

My song for today is an oldie, well by my standards. Love the song, love the actor’s in the movie, but the movie was a bit wonky. But hey looking at Jeff Bridges w/o a shirt for a couple of hours is always a good thing…Shhhhh don’t tell the husband 😉 .

AGAINST ALL ODDS

How can I just let you walk away?
Just let you leave without a trace
When I stand here taking every breath with you, ooh
You’re the only one who really knew me at allHow can you just walk away from me?
When all I can do is watch you leave
‘Cos we’ve shared the laughter and the pain and even shared the tears
You’re the only one who really knew me at allSo take a look at me now, oh there’s just an empty space
And there’s nothin’ left here to remind me
Just the memory of your face
Ooh, take a look at me now, well there’s just an empty space
And you coming back to me is against the odds
And that’s what I’ve got to faceI wish, I could just make you turn around
Turn around and see me cry
There’s so much I need to say to you so many reasons why
You’re the only one who really knew me at allSo take a look at me now, well there’s just an empty space
And there’s nothin’ left here to remind me, just the memory of your face
Now take a look at me now, ‘cos there’s just an empty space
But to wait for you, is all I can do and that’s what I’ve got to face
Take a good look at me now, ‘cos I’ll still be standin’ here
And you coming back to me is against all odds
It’s the chance I’ve gotta takeTake a look at me now

Song Lyric Sunday

Happy Song Lyric Sunday Blogging Buddy’s…Today’s prompt is your song has to begin with the letter, “M or A.” I’m going to use the letter, “M.” My Song is Money, Money by the Group ABBA. I know it’s a little dated by then so am I 😉 .

Money, Money, Money

I work all night, I work all day, to pay the bills I have to pay
Ain’t it sad
And still there never seems to be a single penny left for me
That’s too bad
In my dreams I have a plan
If I got me a wealthy man
I wouldn’t have to work at all, I’d fool around and have a ballMoney, money, money
Must be funny
In the rich man’s world
Money, money, money
Always sunny
In the rich man’s world
Aha aha
All the things I could do
If I had a little money
It’s a rich man’s world
It’s a rich man’s worldA man like that is hard to find but I can’t get him off my mind
Ain’t it sad
And if he happens to be free I bet he wouldn’t fancy me
That’s too bad
So I must leave, I’ll have to go
To Las Vegas or Monaco
And win a fortune in a game, my life will never be the sameMoney, money, money
Must be funny
In the rich man’s world
Money, money, money
Always sunny
In the rich man’s world
Aha aha
All the things I could do
If I had a little money
It’s a rich man’s worldMoney, money, money
Must be funny
In the rich man’s world
Money, money, money
Always sunny
In the rich man’s world
Aha aha
All the things I could do
If I had a little money
It’s a rich man’s world

I haven’t done this in awhile so I’m kind of out of sync. I’ll put in a link to Mr. Jim’s/Song Lyric Sunday. Thank’s for the prompt Mr. Jim and Happy, Happy Everything 2021… <3

Happy Song Lyric Sunday

Happy Sunday and Happy Halloween !!! Today’s prompt is Ghost/Pumpkin/Trick or Treat/Witch…and is very appropriate for this week. I’m going with, “Witch.” The song I’m playing today is Witchy Woman by Glenn Fry and Don Henley, The Eagles. Once again thank you Mr. Jim...Great for Halloween!!!

I’m going to tell you a quick little story that is near and dear to my heart. I knew Glenn Fry personally and I was so sad he was taken so very soon from us. He was an amazing musician and writer. When I met him he was playing the guitar and me being a really friendly person (I’m a people person, love to talk to complete stranger’s just b/c I like to hear their story) I’m really surprised I haven’t been killed by some coo coo bird sociopathic murderer yet 😉 But I just really love people, I digress back to meeting Glenn Fry…

When I met him, he was playing the guitar. I commented that he was a very good guitar player. He responded with, “I’m Glenn Fry…” I was only like 15 years old and he was what seemed to me to be a pretty old guy, but he was maybe 30 or something. He said again, “I’m Glenn Frey.” I nodded and said, “Is that suppose to mean something to me ?” Immediately after that, he started playing the song, “Take It Easy,” you know I’m running down the road, trying to loosen my load, I got 7 women on my mind…yadayadayadaya. Then it hit me and I smiled and I said, “Oh now I get it, your Glenn Frey w/the Eagles 🙂 ” I guess that didn’t impress me so much and he kind of liked that. I’ll never forget it… The guitar he was playing was just so beautiful. I was a piano player so I really got how good of a musician he was. I remember I thought that you’re just a regular person too. Just a guy and a guitar and he was pretty good at it. I see it totally different now, but when I watch his video’s on youtube he’s exactly how I remember him. I’m going to put up a short video of him. When I met him he was the hippy musician rather than the short hair, I’ve cleaned up my act person that he was at the end. I really don’t know which one I like better. It’s probably the same story we each have in our lives. Kind of the, “I know everything about life person and the other one who’s says my parents were a whole lot smarter than I gave them credit for 😉 “

Eagles’ Glenn Frey
Witchy Woman

Witchy Woman

EaglesRaven hair and ruby lips
Sparks fly from her fingertips
Echoed voices in the night
She’s a restless spirit on an endless flightWoo hoo, witchy woman
See how high she flies
Woo hoo, witchy woman
She got the moon in her eyeShe held me spellbound in the night
Dancing shadows and firelight
Crazy laughter in another room
And she drove herself to madness with a silver spoonWoo hoo, witchy woman
See how high she flies
Woo hoo, witchy woman
She got the moon in her eyeWell, I know you want a lover
Let me tell you, brother
She’s been sleeping in the devil’s bed
And there’s some rumours going round, someone’s underground
She can rock you in the night-time ’til your skin turns redWoo hoo, witchy woman
See how high she flies
Woo hoo, witchy woman
She got the moon in her eye

Well that’s my song for today, I hope you enjoyed my story and the music. I feel kind of sad right now as it brings me back to the day when the world didn’t seem so complicated and people were kinder. RIP my friend Mr. Glen. I’m sure your singing beautius songs w/the angel’s. Blessings to all the music lover’s and #SongLyricSunday Blogger’s. Happy Sunday Night <3 .
