Song Lyric Sunday – Happy Together
This week’s prompts for Song Lyric Sunday, hosted by Jim Adams, are “Couple, Together and Us”. The first song I could think of was “Happy Together” by the Turtles from the sixties. I know this is going to be picked many times today so I’m just going to do the same and wish everybody a Happy Mother’s Day! It’s a fun, happy song and I hope it makes you feel happy too.
Lyrics Imagine me and you, I do I think about you day and night, it's only right To think about the girl you love and hold her tight So happy together If I should call you up, invest a dime And you say you belong to me and ease my mind Imagine how the world could be, so very fine So happy together I can't see me lovin' nobody but you For all my life When you're with me, baby the skies'll be blue For all my life Me and you and you and me No matter how they toss the dice, it had to be The only one for me is you, and you for me So happy together I can't see me lovin' nobody but you For all my life When you're with me, baby the skies'll be blue For all my life Me and you and you and me No matter how they toss the dice, it had to be The only one for me is you, and you for me So happy together Ba-ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba-ba Ba-ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba-ba Me and you and you and me No matter how they toss the dice, it had to be The only one for me is you, and you for me So happy together So happy together How is the weather So happy together We're happy together So happy together Happy together So happy together So happy together (ba-ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba-ba) Source: LyricFind Songwriters: Alan Gordon / Garry Bonner Happy Together lyrics © Round Hill Music Big Loud Songs, BMG Rights Management, Carlin America Inc, Universal Music Publishing Group
Together
Together
In its final burst of energy the setting sun leaves the day with its warmth and glow Taking nothing from us other than the memories it championed With its flickering light slipping slowly below the horizon the remains of the day gently turn to night A sense of oneness with the universe A flicker of hope for a better tomorrow Christine Bolton - Poetry for Healing © Prompts Sue Vincent's Weekly Write/Photo Champion - Word of the Day Tonight - FOWC Better - RDP
Reunion
Reunion
Like snowflakes falling
Silently in the night
I am unaware of the beauty
About to unfold in my sight
You stand in front of me
After a lifetime of years
Memories roaring back
Bringing with them tears
Separated as teenagers
Daddy with a shotgun
A baby on the way
Our parents come undone
You travel east
And I am sent west
Never meant to be
We were told it was for the best
You served our country
Our baby was adopted
Turning away from my family
It was never what I wanted
I left them all in the past
My spirit had been broken
Living a better life alone
Another word was never spoken
Here you are now
A ghost from before
A buried secret
We could never ignore
Your smile the same
It’s as if no time had passed
The lonely years forgotten
We are together at last

Life Patterns
Two lost souls wandering
Life had broken the heart
Born same place and time, yet
Three thousand miles apart
Opposites in every which way
Growing and learning
Fighting life’s battles
All the while yearning
Affection withheld
When so desperately needed
Tricked by those convincing them
To go there unheeded
In disguise to dupe
Love appeared from the blue
Confusing and manipulating
Never proving to be true
Love was a weakness
It was an Achilles heel
Difficult to hold on to
Like a slippery eel
Pain and torture
Of trying again and again
Handing out life’s résumé
Never knowing when
Some would turn on the crazy
Never knowing what you’d get
Hokey-pokey relationships
You’re in, you’re out, never a duet
To embrace the notorious game
Somehow continuing to look
Knowing each other was out there
Until discovered by hook or by crook
So similar were the life patterns
They were smitten instantly
Their pieces came together
Fitting each other beautifully
Bodies and minds now intertwined
Looking back at the past
Coming from different worlds
And celebrating together at last
