When Will I See You Again?
When will I see you again?
When will we share precious moments?
Will I have to wait forever?
Or will I have to suffer and cry the whole night through?
When will I see you again?
When will our hearts beat together?
Are we in love or just friends?
Is this my beginning or is this the end?
When will I see you again?
I was eating lunch with my daughter when this song came on in the restaurant we were eating in. Suddenly I was transported to another time and place. It is amazing that music has the power to do this to us. I told her that someday when she heard songs that were popular when she and her husband were dating she would understand the feeling. It is hard to believe that just hearing a song can cause your heart to race and your hands to get sweaty…but it happens. I associate this song with times of being “broke-up”, times when I truly would ask myself if I would see him again.
Love is a powerful thing in our lives, but hurt seems to be more powerful. No matter how good things are in your life, when a wound is re-opened or just remembered, it takes a great amount of will-power to not wallow in a moment (or longer) of self-pity. There are many songs that remind me of good times and have the effect of positive energy on me. But these downer songs… they seem to have more power.
How about you? Got any songs that will just make you stop in your tracks as you are transported to another place and time?

Kiss from a Rose: Popular when Bryon and I were dating
More Than Words by Extreme: When we moved to Waco
Love Shack: A friend and I were listening to that song when it first came out and she told me how much she loved it. Three weeks later she died. I always think of her when I hear it.

Music has an amazing ability to transport me to yesteryear--many songs can do it.
My favorite is--"Sister Golden Hair Surprise." It was "our" song. Now, my cell phone rings it--since it doesn't get a lot of air time any more.

It's So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday reminds me of a friend who was killed around the time the remake came out.
