  • A Little Mom Music

    Perry Como was one of my mom's favourite performers.

    When you walk through a storm, hold your head up high
    An' don't be afraid of the dark
    At the end of the storm is a golden sky
    And the sweet silver song of the lark!

    Walk on through the wind, walk on through the rain
    Though your dreams be tossed an' blown
    Walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart
    And you'll never walk alone . . .
    You'll never walk alone!

    Walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart
    And you'll never walk alone . . .
    You'll never walk alone!

  • The Polish Prince

    Heard this over the speakers at Walgreens the other night. It's been in my head ever since. Makes me think of my parents, and my grandma, too. Do you remember Bobby Vinton?

  • Delta Dawn

    (Alex Harvey and Larry Collins)

    Delta Dawn, what's that flower you have on
    Could it be a faded rose from days gone by
    And did I hear you say he was a-meetin' you here today
    To take you to his mansion in the sky-eye

    She's forty-one and her daddy still calls 'er "baby"
    All the folks 'round Brownsville say she's crazy
    'Cause she walks downtown with her suitcase in her hand
    Lookin' for a mysterious dark-haired man

    In her younger days they called her Delta Dawn
    Prettiest woman you ever laid eyes on
    Then a man of low degree stood by her side
    Promised her he'd take her for his bride

    Delta Dawn, what's that flower you have on
    Could it be a faded rose from days gone by
    And did I hear you say he was a-meetin' you here today
    To take you to his mansion in the sky-eye

    Delta Dawn, what's that flower you have on
    Could it be a faded rose from days gone by
    And did I hear you say he was a-meetin' you here today
    To take you to his mansion in the sky-eye

    Delta Dawn, what's that flower you have on
    Could it be a faded rose from days gone by
    And did I hear you say he was a-meetin' you here today
    To take you to his mansion in the sky-eye

    Delta Dawn, what's that flower you have on
    Could it be a faded rose from days gone by
    And did I hear you say he was a-meetin' you here today
    To take you to his mansion in the sky-eye
