Lyrics: 3
Will you meet me in the middle, will you meet me in the air?
Will you love me just a little, just enough to show you care?
Well I tried to fake it, I don’t mind sayin’, I just can’t make it
from the song Sister Golden Hair by America and written by Gerry Beckley, 1975
Lyrics: 1
Only yesterday when I was sad and I was lonely
You showed me the way to leave the past and all its tears behind me
Tomorrow maybe even brighter than today
Since I threw my sadness away
Only yesterday
from the song Only Yesterday by Richard Carpenter and John Bettis, 1975 and performed by Karen Carpenter and Richard Carpenter
Taking a break
I will be taking a short break from the blog for the next week or so. Be safe and well and I’ll see you again soon.
Wild
their lives ramble on–
chaotic rose vines once delicate and singing with fragrance, turned wild, leggy and silenced
