I'm a helpless romantic. So is my partner.
Last night as I was driving home from my family dinner, I was thinking about the stories that I heard at the dinner to relate to my partner, since he didn't go with me. My preferred method of travel is to ride my Harley. Last night, however, I had to drive my truck since I promised a niece that I would bring her a piece of furniture that my partner had refinished for her.
I decided to turn off the blather on the all-news radio station and pop in a CD to listen to some music for the remainder of the ride home. I hadn't driven my truck or used the CD player in ages, so I didn't remember what CD was in the player.
Anyway, here I am, thinking of my partner, when "our song" starts to play. Yeah, it's a romantic number, made famous by Anne Murray, that always brings tears to my eyes because I truly believe each and every word, as it applies to our relationship. Here goes (you'll have to hum the tune along in your head):
Could I Have This Dance? by Anne Murray
I'll always remember the song they were playin',
The first time we danced and I knew,
As we swayed to the music and held to each other,
I fell in love with you.
Could I have this dance for the rest of my life?
Would you be my partner every night?
When we're together, it feels so right.
Could I have this dance for the rest of my life?
I'll always remember that magic moment,
When I held you close to me.
'Cause we moved together, I knew forever,
You're all I'll ever need
Could I have this dance for the rest of my life?
Would you be my partner every night?
When we're together, it feels so right.
Could I have this dance for the rest of my life?
... When I got home, I put that CD in our system at home, grabbed my honey, and rest my head on his strong, broad shoulder as we danced, once again.
Life is short: show those you love that you love them.
