"Don't Stop Believing" - Journey
I was about to call it a night when I decided to check my emails. I've been terrible about doing so lately and surprisingly, even more so with a Smart Phone because I clear out all my notifications before I get a chance to read through them. I was skimming down the list when I noticed 3 video messages from over 2-weeks ago. I clicked on the link to download the message and waited patiently. I knew it would be interesting, but I just didn't know what it was yet. My computer was taking forever until finally a pop-up window sprang up.
I opened the image and there was my darling goddaughter in NC standing barefoot over a hardwood floor singing this song. She couldn't remember the words so my bff had to help her along. She started to do the "da, da, da" to mimic the piano intro and my goddaughter just took it away. She created her own version saying "toy" instead of "boy," which to me can easily be mistaken for the same thing. She didn't do it perfectly, but she was perfectly amazing to me.
My little girl is growing so much so fast and it pains me to know that she's so far away from me. Every time I see a picture or hear her over the phone, it boggles me just how quickly time flies. I wish I could say, "Hey sweetie, Nina will see you tomorrow." Or everyday if I had it my way. It's tough to know that she's going to continue to get bigger and sing her heart out and I'll mostly get to see it on video. I wanted to squeeze her squishable cheeks and take her home with me. Here she wouldn't have to worry about memorizing anything because anytime she would want to remember this song, I'd turn on the Karaoke machine, plug in the mic, press play and sing, "Ooooooh oooooh oooooh oooooooh!"
Lyrics:
Just a small town girl, livin' in a lonely world
She took the midnight train goin' anywhere
Just a city boy, born and raised in south Detroit
He took the midnight train goin' anywhere
A singer in a smokey room
A smell of wine and cheap perfume
For a smile they can share the night
It goes on and on and on and on
Strangers waiting, up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching in the night
Streetlights people, living just to find emotion
Hiding, somewhere in the night.
Working hard to get my fill,
Everybody wants a thrill
Payin' anything to roll the dice,
Just one more time
Some will win, some will lose
Some were born to sing the blues
Oh, the movie never ends
It goes on and on and on and on
Strangers waiting, up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching in the night
Streetlights people, living just to find emotion
Hiding, somewhere in the night.
Don't stop believin'
Hold on to the feelin'
Streetlights people
Don't stop believin'
Hold on
Streetlight people
Don't stop believin'
Hold on to the feelin'
Streetlights people
