Our Favorite Love Songs

by Suzy Saxbe, March 2018

WHEN I SEVENTEEN I didn’t know you

but at twenty-one I HAD A CRUSH ON YOU

just THE VERY THOUGHT OF YOU made me CRAZY

San Francisco, 1969, you became THE MAN I LOVE

no question OUR LOVE IS HERE TO STAY forever and a day

and they can’t take that away from me

what A FINE ROMANCE we have

but for those few times you say tomato and I say tamato

and I say LET’S CALL THE WHOLE THING OFF

but you say let’s call the calling off, off

I just can’t imagine life without you ROCKY RACCOON

You’re so UNFORGETTABLE… that’s what you are

I love that OUR HOUSE IS A VERY VERY FINE HOUSE

but without the two of us there, our house is not a home

you’ll always be MY FUNNY VALENTINE

and I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU

but AS TIME GOES BY

and AUTUMN LEAVES begin to fall

and after every SUNRISE & SUNSET

I will find you

someday and somehow

AT LAST I will find you

SOMEWHERE OVER THE RAINBOW
