Landslide

Special song . . . for a special day . . . 

 

Happy Birthday, Tom.

This song was pretty "new" when we first met and started going out.  Whenever it played, I always thought of US.   It was romantic and thoughtful and reflective -- and, even though I knew Stevie wrote it for Lindsey, I always liked to pretend it was MY song.

I took my love and took it down
I climbed a mountain and I turned around
And I saw my reflection in the snow-covered hills
Till the landslide brought me down

Oh, mirror in the sky, what is love?
Can the child within my heart rise above?
Can I sail through the changing ocean tides?
Can I handle the seasons of my life?

Well, I've been afraid of changing
'Cause I've built my life around you

But time makes you bolder
Even children get older
And I'm getting older too

Well, I've been afraid of changing
'Cause I've built my life around you

But time makes you bolder
Even children get older
And I'm getting older too
Oh, I'm getting older too

Well, Tom.  Here we are.  All these many years later.  This song still resonates with me - only even more so.  Happy birthday.  I love "getting older, too" . . . with you!

. . . Till the landslide bring us down!
