Nothing like a grandchild to warm the heart...




"Whenever You Remember"

as sung by Carrie Underwood


When you look back on times we had
I hope you smile
And know that through the good and through the bad
I was on your side when nobody could hold us down
We claimed the brightest star
And we, we came so far
And no they won't forget

[Chorus]
Whenever you remember times gone by
Remember how we held our heads so high
When all this world was there for us
And we believed that we could touch the sky
Whenever you remember, I'll be there
Remember how we reached that dream together
Whenever you remember

When you think back on all we've done
I hope you're proud
When you look back and see how far we've come
It was our time to shine
And nobody could hold us down
They thought they'd see us fall
But we, we stood so tall
And no we won't forget

Whenever you remember times gone by
Remember how we held our heads so high
When all this world was there for us
And we believed that we could touch the sky
Whenever you remember, I'll be there
Remember how we reached that dream together
Whenever you remember

Yeah, Oh

We claimed the brightest star
And we, we came so far
You know that we, we showed them all
And no they won't forget

Yeah

Whenever you remember times gone by
Remember how we held our heads so high
When all this world was there for us
And we believed that we could touch the sky
Whenever you remember, I'll be there
Remember how we reached that dream together
Whenever you remember

Whenever you remember

Oh, whenever you remember

Still Crazy... - After All These Years

Gee, ...despite being away from this site for over nine months since last posting... and despite what some of you may have surmised...  no, I am not crazy yet... at least not in my own mind....  actually, that's not quite true, for I have ALWAYS been a little crazy... its just that now they tell me my mind is going that way too...  when you think about it... the irony of it all strikes me as quite humorous in some ways...






Words & music by Paul Simon 

I met my old lover 
On the street last night 
She seemed so glad to see me 
I just smiled 
And we talked about some old times 
And we drank ourselves some beers 
Still crazy afler all these years 
Oh, still crazy after all these years 

I'm not the kind of man 
Who tends to socialize 
I seem to lean on 
Old familiar ways 
And I ain't no fool for love songs 
That whisper in my ears 
Still crazy afler all these years 
Oh, still crazy after all these years 

Four in the morning 
Crapped out, yawning 
Longing my life a--way 
I'll never worry 
Why should i? 
It's all gonna fade 

Now I sit by my window 
And I watch the cars 
I fear I'll do some damage 
One fine day 
But I would not be convicted 
By a jury of my peers 
Still crazy after all these years 
Oh, still crazy 
Still crazy 
Still crazy after all these years
