Mark Knopfler & Emmylou Harris - All The Roadrunning

Gosh, I can't seem to get enough of this record. Yes, of course I am a huge Mark Knopfler fan and Emmylou?? well what can I say. Folk music mixed with terrific guitar..'nuff said. Give it a try..it's nice.

Sting - Nothing Like The Sun

We bought this CD in 1987 when we bought a brand new stereo system, yes..I said stereo system. I have no idea what they call them these days. Everyone seems to walk around with wires in their ears. In any case..it was played many many times during the year before our daughter was born.

Our daughter was born in August of 1988 and when I finally came home from the hospital 5 days later (they don't seem to do that any longer either) I came into my home filled with pink and white helium balloons throughout the house, There must have been 100 balloons floating around with white ribbons hanging down. As I entered the house with our new bundle of joy, my husband had qued up one of my favorite songs from this album on our new stereo:

"We'll Be Together"

I see me with you and all the things you do

Keep turning round and round in my mind

Forget the weather we should always be together

And any other thought is unkind

To have you with me I would swim the sevens seas

To have you as my guide and my light

My love is a flame that burns in your name

We'll be together We'll be together tonight

We'll be together, yeah

We'll be together, yeah

We'll be together, yeah

I see you with me and all I want to be

Is dancing here with you in my arms

Forget the weather we should always be together

I'll always be a slave to your charms

To have you with me I would swim the seven seas

To have you as my guide and my light

My love is a flame that burns in your name

We'll be together We'll be together

Call me baby. You can call me anything you want

Call me baby Call me Just call me

We'll be together, yeah

We'll be together, yeah

I see you with me and baby makes three

I see me with you and all the things we do

Forget the weather we should always be together

I need you as my guide and my light

My love is a flame that burns in your name

We'll be together We'll be together tonight

That was almost 18 years ago and our bundle of joy is about to graduate high school and embark on a new chapter in her life. I have a pretty good feeling that we too are about to embark on a new chapter in OUR lives as well. My only question is...WHERE DID THE TIME GO?? I hear the song and it feels like only yesterday..
