In My Life...

My playlist was playing, and "In My Life" by The Beatles came on. All I could do was smile, as it made me think of Allison. I would always sing to her at bedtime. Always. But I never got into singing the traditional lullabies. I would sing "Your Song" by Elton John, "Somewhere Over the Rainbow", "Goodnight, My Angel" by Billy Joel, and "In My Life". Others too, but those were staples. And Allison would always ask for "that song where you hum like this...", where I would hum the intro guitar part.

There are places I 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 ever 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

Gosh, I haven't sung that to her in a long time. Of course, she's 11.5 now, and in middle school. *sigh* Where has the time gone?
