Soundtrack of My Life

"We just couldn't say goodbye" by the Andrew Sisters

Entry number 23, my final entry for February's "Soundtrack of your Life" challenge.

"We Just Couldn't Say Goodbye" by the Andrew Sisters

We thought that love was over,
That we were really through,
I said I didn't love him,
That we'd begin anew
And you can all believe me,
We sure intended to,
But we just couldn't say goodbye.

The chair and then the sofa,
They broke right down and cried,
The curtains started waving
For me to come inside.
I tell you confidentially,
The tears were hard to hide,
And we just couldn't say goodbye.

The clock was striking
Twelve o'clock, it smiled on us below,
With folded hands it seemed to say,
"We'll miss you if you go."

So I went back and kissed him,
And when I looked around,
The room was singing love songs,
And dancing up and down.
And now we're both so happy,
Because at last we've found.
That we just couldn't say goodbye.

Well, it looks like we've come to the end of the road. It's been a wild musical ride this month. We've heard everything from classic rock to Acapella to R&B, to string quartets and swinging jazz. I didn't quite make it to 28 entries, but 23 ain't that bad. And now I've got the sweet crooning harmonies of the Andrew Sisters to sing us out. I didn't want to end with anything too heavy. We've had a full 22-course meal and now it's time for a little bite of dessert, a pallet cleanser, to leave you with a sweet aftertaste in your mouth. And nothing could be sweeter than the voices of these sisters in perfect three part harmony. Besides maybe the lyrics.

This was a lot of fun, but I don't think I'll be attempting another daily challenge again for a while. I just can't keep up with that, to be honest. Maybe a weekly challenge would be more reasonable. And now that this challenge is over, I want to get back to writing other things for my portfolio. I have a few ideas in mind.

But don't worry, this won't be the last time I blog on here.
Because I just couldn't say goodbye.
