I must give credit to Dale's blog "Life is Good" for reminiscing about Friday Night and having 30 football players at our home for a team dinner.
We are so fortunate to be able to realize that 30 years ago this was our favorite song.
Reminiscing
Graeham Goble
April 9th, 1977
Friday night, it was late, I was walkin' you home, we got down to the gate and I was dreaming of the night
Would it turn out right?
How to tell you girl
I wanna build my world around you
Tell you that it's true
I wanna make you understand, I'm talkin' about a life-time plan
That's the way it began, we were hand-in-hand, Glenn Miller's band was better than before
We yelled and screamed for more
And the Porter tunes ("Night And Day")
Made us dance across the room
It ended all too soon
And on the way back home I promised you'd never be alone
Hurry, don't be late
I can hardly wait
I said to myself when we're old
We'll go dancing in the dark
Walking through the park and reminiscing
Friday night, it was late, I was walkin' you home, we got down to the gate and I was dreaming of the night
Would it turn out right?
Now as the years roll on
Each time we hear our favourite song
The memories come along
Older times we're missing, spending the hours reminiscing
Hurry, don't be late
I can hardly wait
I said to myself when we're old
We'll go dancing in the dark
Walking through the park and reminiscing

"I promised you'd never be alone"
Well...I never thought the part about "never be alone" would include the Football Team in our backyard for dinner and swimming!
"I said to myself when we're old
We'll go dancing in the dark
Walking through the park and reminiscing "
We were dancing in the backyard setting up tables, serving food, and laughing hysterically over the guys!
"Would it turn out right?"
I had my concerns both before, and during...but afterwords I knew it had been a good thing.
Life is Good...
and....
We will be reminiscing!
