What is your favorite music? Favorite song? Lately, I have been missing my grandmother so much. Her birthday was in January and she never met my youngest two children. God - she would have adored them. One of the things I never knew about my grandmother was her favorite song. But when she passed away I learned so much. Apparently, her favorite song was the Theme from Love Story.
She had music boxes, tapes, records, books and more. Whenever I miss her I play that song. And the experience is made so much better with good headphones.
If you don't recall the song - here it is on YouTube:
Where do I begin,
to tell the story of how great a love can be?
The sweet love story that is older than the sea.
The simple truth about the love she brings to me.
Where do I start?
With her first hello!
She gave a meaning to this empty world of mine.
There'd never be another love, another time.
She came into my life and made the living fine.
She fills my heart . . .
She fills my heart with very special things,
with angels' songs, with wild imaginings.
She fills my soul with so much love,
that anywhere I go, I'm never lonely.
With her along, who could be lonely?
I reach for her hand, it's always there . . .
How long does it last?
Can love be measured by the hours in a day?
I have no answers now, but this much I can say,
I know I'll need her 'till the stars all burn away
and she'll be there . . .
She'll be there . . .
