Hi everybody!

My last thread was "The Waiting is the Hardest Part".

This time we’re going to go back much further in time, back to the summer of 1970 when little FY was just a 9, going on 10 year old boy who just received his first portable transistor AM radio. The following song went to number 1 on the top 40 charts, and I took quite a liking to the smooth melody of it. Of course at the time I had little idea what love was really about, but after 42 more years of life, 34 of them with my lovely wife at my side, I think I’ve learned a thing or two.

“Make it With You” by David Gates and Bread

Hey have you ever tried,
Really reaching out for the other side?
I may be climbing on rainbows
But, baby here goes.

Dreams they’re for those who sleep,
Life is for us to keep,
And if you're wond'ring
What this song is leading to
I want to make it with you
I really think that we can make it girl.

No, you don't know me well,
'N' ev'ry little thing only time will tell,
But if you believe the things that I do,
Then we'll see it through.

Life can be short or long,
Love can be right or wrong,
And if I chose the one
I'd like to help me through,
I'd like to make it with you
I really think that we can make it girl.

Baby you know that
Dreams they're for those who sleep,
Life is for us to keep
And if I chose the one
I'd like to help me through,
I'd like to make it with you
I really think that we can make it girl.


Thank you for your continued support, my DB brothers and sisters. Bust On!


M: A really long time.
Crisis: 5 years.
She's still worth it.

Life is never made unbearable by circumstances, but only by lack of meaning and purpose. -Viktor Frankl
