Happy Birthday Mum

Today would have been my mum's 70th birthday. I have been visited by her the last couple of nights in my dreams so I know she is about celebrating her day, although, I am sure she would not have believed she would be turning 70.....I can't even believe she would be 70.....that means my dad would have been 80....wow....time sure does fly......


So today I must go and get some real good ice cream, as this was mums' fave dessert, sit in my backyard amongst the flowers, as this was mums' fave place to hang out, and make sure to wear some red today, as this was mums' fave color.......I will probably choose the red lipstick, as I don't have any red in my wardrobe, as you can imagine!

So HAPPY BIRTHDAY MUM! Here is my gift to you, one of your fave neil diamond songs, as I don't have the actual song, you will have to just sing in your head to the lyrics below:


Longfellow serenade
Written by: neil diamond

Longfellow serenade
Such were the plans I’d made
For she was a lady
And I was a dreamer
With only words to trade

You know that I was born for a night like this
Warmed by a stolen kiss
For I was lonely
And she was lonely

Ride, come on baby, ride
Let me make your dreams come true
I’ll sing my song
Let me sing my song
Let me make it warm for you

I’ll weave this web of rhyme
Upon this summer night
We’ll leave this worldly time
On his winged flight

Then come, and as we lay
Beside this sleepy glade
There I’ll sing to you
My longfellow serenade

Longfellow serenade
Such were the plans I made
But she was a lady
As deep as the river
And through the night, we stayed
And in my way,
I loved her as none before
Loved her with words and more

For she was lonely
And I was lonely

Ride, come on baby, ride
Let me make your dreams come true
I’ll sing my song

Let me sing my song
Let me make it warm for you

I’ll weave this web of rhyme
Upon this summer night
We’ll leave this worldly time
On his winged flight
Then come, and as we lay
Beside this sleepy glade

There I’ll sing to you
My longfellow serenade
