Maybe it was the long, blunt, hard-to-swallow article I read this morning on the economic crisis. Maybe it is how everything seems upside-down right now except for the romance I have every 5 days with the man I have been seeing for the last three months. Maybe it is that I just feel like hiding out until things get better. Whatever it is, out of the blue, I started singing this song today and am therefore placing it here as the theme song of the day.
Tonight’s the night we’ll make history, honey, you and I
And I’ll take any risk to tie back the hands of time
And stay with you here tonight
I know you feel these are the worst of times
I do believe it’s true
When people lock their doors and hide inside
Rumor has it it’s the end of Paradise
But I know, if the world just passed us by
Baby I know, you wouldn’t have to cryThe best of times are when I’m alone with you
Some rain some shine, we’ll make this a world for two
Our memories of yesterday will last a lifetime
We’ll take the best, forget the rest
And someday we’ll find these are the best of times
These are the best of timesThe headlines read ‘these are the worst of times’
I do believe it’s true
I feel so helpless like a boat against the tide
I wish the summer winds could bring back Paradise
But I know, if the world turned upside down
Baby, I know you’d always be aroundThe best of times are when I’m alone with you
Some rain some shine, we’ll make this a world for two
Our memories of yesterday will last a lifetime
We’ll take the best, forget the rest
And someday we’ll find these are the best of times
These are the best of timesAnd
so my friends we’ll say goodnight For time has claimed it’s prize
But tonight will always last
As long as we keep alive memories of Paradise…
