Best of...Always

"Boys of Summer" - Don Henley

Hey, BFF it's your birthday. We've been through a lot, haven't we? It all started in the 3rd grade when a popular "French" girl entered Hamilton Elementary and stole my thunder, but not for long. It wasn't until Nancy and Tina that we finally learned how to work as a team. We had our differences, but regardless of it all things just clicked. Chief found her Giggles and Wilson wouldn't have been the same without you. First crushes, first boyfriends (even the one we shared), and of course first stories of all of our firsts. And even if we had a pretty good sized gap between mid-high school and post-college, it wasn't big enough for us to stay apart. I kinda figured we'd find each other again. I mean, what are the odds that my green would run into your white on the stairs of the Civic Center on graduation day? It was fate knocking, but we needed a bit more time then before we came to the door. I gotta thank you and your handy red pen for finally getting the hint years later.

I miss how you used to live down the street from me. I miss our Karaoke days when we'd do a duet to this song. You'd even add your bird calls, cracks me up every time I hear it. But I don't have to miss your friendship anymore because I know no matter where we are in the world, this is what we'll always have. Happy thirty-somethin' love.

Lyrics:

Nobody on the road
nobody on the beach
I feel it in the air
the summers out of reach

Empty lake, empty streets
the sun goes down alone
I'm driving by your house
though i know that you not home

And i can see you
your brown skin shining in the sun
you got your hair combed back
sunglasses on, baby

and i can tell you
my love for you will still be strong
after the boy of summer have gone

out on the road today
i saw a dead head sticker on a Cadillac
a voice inside my head said don't look back
you can never look back

i thought i knew what love was
what did i know
those days are gone for ever
i should just let them go and

i can see you
your brown skin shining in the sun
you know your walking real slow
smiling at everyone

i can tell you
my love for you will still be strong
after the boys of summer have gone

I never will forget those nights
i wonder if it was a dream
remember how you drove me crazy?
remember how i made you scream?

now i don't understand what happened to our love
now baby gonna get you back
gonna show you what i'm made of

i can see you
your brown skin shining in the sun
you got your top pulled down
radio on, baby

and i can tell you
my love for you will still be strong
after the boys of summer have gone
