Forever and a Day

Listening to the 70's CD, of course, has made all of us nostalgic. It "seems like yesterday" that this journey began with our man and his music. Some things never change: the magic of Manilow, the music and the passion, and the shear joy he brings when we listen to his music and see him "live" each time. He said that recording Mandy caused him to "look back" and reflect. I think it's made all of us who have listened to it recently do the same. And I can't think of any more fitting words to express how that makes me feel:

They said we'd never last
A week, a month, a year
They shook their head
Dream on they said
Cause dreamers disappear

But here we are no matter what they say
It's you and me Forever and a Day
We knew we had it right
We knew we broke the mold
They said have fun, it's kiss and run
Then back out in the cold
I could have told them we were here to stay
To you and me Forever and a Day
Didn't we show them aren't they blown away
Cause whatever time they do our love is thru Forever
Once our hearts were full
And once we felt the flame
Such hunger then much younger then
But really we're the same
And once the music played
And once they lit the the light
And years ago we felt a glow
So very like tonight
And now I know it will always be that way
For you, for me, Forever and a Day

Thanking Barry for giving us so many years of music and passion. And looking back...what a privilege to spend my days, weeks, months and years listening to his music.

Looking back with fond memories,
Texas Fanilow

P.S. To the voice...forever and a day...from the courier.
