The Wonderment of You: In My Life

What is your favorite?

I suppose it's a fairly innocent thing to ask a person. It's only natural to get a person talking about themselves. But it's something I rarely ask as it's a question I have a hard time answering myself.

Whether it's favorite cuisine, book, place to travel, it's a question I stumble to answer and hate to be asked because it's stifling to be cornered into one thing--imagine, of all the colors of this world, how can you choose one?

Oddly, there is one song that I can unequivocally call my favorite. It's not because it reminds me of any moment in my life or person but for some reason it's a song I can rarely listen without it striking an emotional cord. It's been several decades, cities, points of my life where this song has been with me.



There are places i'll remember
All my life though some have changed
Some forever not for better
Some have gone and some remain
All these places have their moments
With lovers and friends i still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life i've loved them all

But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you
And these memories lose their meaning
When i think of love as something new
Though i know i'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know i'll often stop and think about them
In my life i love you more

Though i know i'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know i'll often stop and think about them
In my life i love you more
In my life i love you more
