Songs from my past

Just because they're such lovely songs and they bring back so many memories.....

You must remember this

A kiss is just a kiss, a sigh is just a sigh

The fundamental things apply

As time goes by

And when two lovers woo

They still say, "I love you"

On that you can rely

No matter what the future brings

As time goes by

Moonlight and love songs

Never out of date

Hearts full of passion

Jealousy and hate

Woman needs man

And man must have his mate

That no one can deny

it's still the same old story

A fight for love and glory

A case of do or die

The world will always welcome lovers

As time goes by

As time goes by

I am getting older and older, much older than I was supposed to get  about 20 years ago.

Sometimes I tend to dig up pieces of the past, fishing for good memories, like this song I sang as a young girl (47 years ago), not knowing I would see a lot more than I could have wished for.

 Nobody knows the trouble I've seen;

Nobody knows my sorrow.

Nobody knows the trouble I've seen;

Glory, Hallelujah!

Sometimes I'm up, sometimes I'm down;

Oh, yes, Lord.

Sometimes I'm almost to the groun',

Oh, yes, Lord.

I wish that I could find a way;

Oh, yes, Lord,

But life is just one long, rainy day;

Oh, yes, Lord.

Glory, Hallelujah!

Solo singing was sort of a punishment of my musicteacher Kors Monster who knew he would never get me on stage without a reason. I don't remember what I did to deserve it.
 It was a strickt ánd Christian school, so it was easy for me to make mistakes...

But now, as time goes by I get more and more disapointed. 

I had dreams: I have always wished for my children and my grandchildren and all the other children everywhere, to inherrit a better world from us. Because I thought and still think that we have all the ingredients for a splendid life for everyone. There is more than enough of everything  for everybody. But I fear things have to get even worse before they'll get better.

But I never lost hope.... and I hope I never will.

When you walk

Through a storm

Hold your head, up high

And don't be afraid, of the dark

At the end of the storm

Is a golden sky

And the sweet silver song

Of a lark

Walk on, through the wind

Walk on, through the rain

Though your dreams be tossed

And blown

Walk on, walk on

With hope, in your heart

And you'll never walk alone

You'll never walk alone

You´ll never walk, alone

You'll never walk, alone

Never ;-)
