Ok, I have a bunch of things I could mention, and I may disclose them yet. However, here is a good one.
When I met my wife, Karen, back in the college days, she was actually dating her highschool sweet heart at the time. I was a nice guy she met at college that was introduced to her by her friend that was my roomates dorm room little sister.
Anyway, many weeks/months went buy, and I was that nice guy that went for walks with her around campass. Eventually, she dumped this guy and the rest is history.
Oh yeah, I guess we are back to the reason for this post. She always told me how this ex boyfriend used to wright her poems and melt her heart. So, I thought I would take a stab at it.
Now, back in high school, I used an old Journey song, "Open Arms" to melt my girlfriends heart. I could not used the same song.
So, as most of you know, I'm a big Boston fan, and am very sad by the recent passing of Brad Delp. Rest in God's peace my friend.....
Anyway, I took the song "Holyann" from Boston, and replaced Karen's name with Holyanns name. Since Karen was not familiar with Boston, it went over like frosting on cake, she was all mine.
Here are the lyrics:
In my mind
I can see reminders of a past decade.
So far behind
Like the shadows linger at the close of day.
And we could see
We were timeless dreamers of another day.
And we were free
In a dawning age we had so much to say.
Oooh, the nights you came to me
A bluejean lady so eager to be free.
And the wind in your long hair blowin' as we stood for the band.
Oh, Karen.
Karen
We made the dark into light.
We saw the wrong and the right.
We were for life
And we would never concede it.
Karen
We left the world behind
A million hands gave the sign.
We held the line
Can you believe it?
Karen
Karen
We could live
Just to turn the world into our fantasy.
And we could give
Aquarius was really meant to be.
You and I we were there to see the dawn.
Side by side we had love to carry on.
And I still hear guitars in the air as we sat in the sand.
Oh, Karen
Karen
We made the dark into light.
We saw the wrong and the right.
We were for life
And we would never concede it.
Karen
We left the world behind
A million hands gave the sign.
We held the line
Can you believe it?
Karen
