Great choices. I like the Paul Simon song where he goes, "And I could say ooooo-ooooo-ooooo-ooo-oo-oo and everyone here would know what I was talking about. I mean everyone would know exactly what I was talking about." We're up at Lam(b) with moons and things.
Ok girl, we have very similar tastes!
Love it!
I usually flunk these lyrics TTs, but thank goodness you've included some I know. Thanks.
"Fire and Rain"--that brings back such memories! It was one of my favorites in high school!
Good list indeed :) Only a few songs listed that I don't know.
