WHAT A DAY YESTERDAY WAS
I'd just stopped by Publix supermarket.
A couple days previous I had stopped by and made arrangements with the bakery to prepare a cake for me. A cake, chocolate, Barb's favorite. I think chocolate must be a favorite of most all women. That's been my experience. It would be a 50th wedding anniversary cake. I was picking it up as the plans were for the next evening Barb and I along with another couple to have dinner out and then come back to our house for desert and coffee.
Just as I sat the cake down in the passenger's seat and turned the ignition on in the car an Alan Jackson song came on from the car cd player. I had been playing his music. I smiled and thought how appropriate. Here I am picking up a cake for our 50th wedding anniversary and the timing of this song.
Looking through these old photographs
Don't they bring good memories back
Some of them make us laugh
And some make us cry
I'm glad we've kept all of these souvenirs
Look at how happy we were
Pictures don't lie
Here's one of us with you calm and cool
But look at me acting a fool
And here's one of us on the ferris wheel
At the fair
Hey, haven't we had some fun
The best may be yet to come
We may have a hundred years
Still left to share
But....
If forever should end today
And there's no tomorrow for us
What a day yesterday was
Let's close this book of photograph
And let's turn out the lights
And love the moment
As if it were the last
And...
If forever should end today
And there's no tomorrow for us
What a day yesterday was
