Loggins & Messina made it happen, remembering tonight. . . |
We had some friends Who sang your songs At some local clubs We four went along, with My first love and I. Tonight at 2 AM Those songs came back, Finally driving me from my bed After some remembering lack about My first love and I. Together only six years, But so much good music, like My first love and I. I close my eyes to see Bruce and Lester (Counterparts in my life to thee) Center stage at Holiday Inn, singing along With Pam and Paul, at our table of friends, with my first love and I. We lived your songs, As we sang along: "Watching the River Run," With a "Long Tail Cat," From the "House at Pooh Corner;" Believing in the words of "Danny's Song," The harmonies in "Peace of Mind." We gave to each other, love, My first love and I. But we got the "Traveling Blues." Both found a new place to rest our shoes Going our separate ways, Until word traveled back: He comitted suicide. "Angry Eyes," too angry At the cold cruel world All these years later. My first love and I, Are still together In my mind tonight, And Loggins and Messina sing, From an old vinyl lp record, and I remember precious things. "I'd be so happy to know that you're alive." Thanks for the memories' soundtrack, For Kenny & Jim. |
