A song I like so much I drove around the block three times so I could hear the whole thing -

Glad to hear I'm not the only one who does that


Yeah, I do that pretty frequently. I remember about 25 years ago the first time I heard a tune that became my all-time favorite - I wanted to hear the end of it so I drove around the block...again and again and again. It turned out to be about 20 minutes long.

How about another from the Cowsills era:

In a little while from now
If I'm not feeling any less sour
I promise myself to treat myself
And visit a nearby tower
And climbing to the top will throw myself off
In an effort to make it clear to whoever
What it's like when you're shattered
Left standing in the lurch at a church
Where people saying: "My God, that's tough"
"She stood him up"
"No point in us remaining"
"We may as well go home"
As I did on my own
_____ _____, _________

To think that only yesterday
I was cheerful, bright and gay
Looking forward to who wouldn't do
The role I was about to play?
But as if to knock me down
Reality came around
And without so much as a mere touch
Cut me into little pieces
Leaving me to doubt
Talk about God in His mercy
Who if He really does exist
Why did He desert me?
In my hour of need
I truly am indeed
_____ ____, _________

It seems to me that there are more hearts
Broken in the world that can't be mended
Left unattended
What do we do? What do we do?

<instrumental interlude>

_____ _____, _________

Looking back over the years
And whatever else that appears
I remember I cried when my father died
Never wishing to hide the tears
And at sixty-five years old
My mother, God rest her soul
Couldn't understand why the only man
She had ever loved had been taken
Leaving her to start with a heart so badly broken
Despite encouragement from me
No words were ever spoken
And when she passed away
I cried and cried all day
_____ ____, ________
_____ ____, ________


Kind of strange - until I found the lyrics, I never realized just how depressing that song was.
