Hello again...

Well, I am reentering the blogging world once again, hopefully this time to stay. But, as you might have figured out, my schedule can get quite hectic. I wrote this song last year for HJ, and I was inspired to share it by these two. They are coming to our city for a concert next week, and I can't wait. They continue to write relevant and good music. So, about this song. I wrote it for HJ because I still look forward to him coming home everyday. I know its only been almost three years, but I am thankful to have a husband who listens to me and loves me and is forever being patient with me. I know it is not a masterpiece, but here it is...



Six years ago we met in the fall

Football and kisses and shooting stars

Couldn't seem to get you off my mind

We were so young so how did we know



CH: Hurry home, Honey

I'm waiting for you

To talk about nothing and everything

How was your day and what should we eat

How about the city and theology

The rich and the poor and you and me



Three years later and many more words

Late nights and letters and oceans traversed

Sugarless madness and swedish disease

Days just waiting for the phone to ring



A sixty-four mustang and a thunderstorm

Down on your knee on a porch with a ring

Diamonds and sunsets and dreams come true

Hurry up, honey, cause the times movin' slow



CH



One more year and lots of tears

A job in an office and medical school

New city, new home, new husband, new wife

We were so young so how did we know



CH



Two years later on a Friday night

Football and kisses and shooting stars

still can't seem to get you off my mind

Why don't you sit and stay awhile
