There are places I remember
All my life, though some have changed
Some forever, not for better
Some have gone and some remain
All these places had their moments
With lovers and friends I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life I've loved them all
But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you
And these memories lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more
In my life I love you more
I really love this song for so many reasons. The last couple of days, however, it has particularly been resonating with me.
Firstly, Joel is gone to the Men's Retreat and I've been realizing how much he enriches my daily life (*shhh* don't tell him). Sharing my thoughts and experiences with someone who provides such a unique and different perspective on things really enhances my quality of life.
Secondly, all the familiar sights, smells and faces of my childhood & adolescence has evoked so many buried memories. Neither particularly bad or good, just many tiny pieces of what has shaped and formed me.
John Lennon, you win again.
Funny you would post this song because it's one of few favorite Lennon songs. I hope this week has gone well for you! I just want to say again how great it is to have you both here. I hope you'll be able to get settled into your new apartment soon!! Love you, Schmaren! :-)
