sheila, i love that song. it was, in fact, a very favorite song for me and, ahem, someone a long time ago. mr. forte sings to me some crazy old things sometimes, but a fav could be "let it be me" by jerry butler and betty everett.

What a great song to have.

We have one to but I've forgotten what it is. It'll come to me when I hear it again. Yes, I am a hopeless romantic...

Oh yeah, I remember. Jimmy Buffett's Coast of Carolina

From the bottom of my heart
Off the coast of Carolina
After one or two false starts
I believe we've found our stride

And the walls that won't come down
we can decorate or climb
or find some way to get around
Cause I'm still on your side.
From the bottom of my heart.

There's come a lot of Mondays
since the phone booth that first night
Year and miles and tear and smiles
I've got to get it right.

I live this dream but still it seems
I've got you on my mind.

You are the sweet thing.... congratulations and blessings...
Rated.. the song is amazing
Sometimes finding the love of your life and the companion for your days is more than just luck or chance... is a bless from the sky,... you both are lucky... I´m so glad to know that you have a beautiful loving home...
Thank you for all you are

Mauricio: It is 25 years so it is a long time. We are very happy. We have fun everyday. We work very hard and really enjoy each other's company. I think he was sent to me and I to him. It just seems like that.

"Whisky in the Jar" Dubliners' version for me. Thin Lizzy for him. Go figure.

He drinks the whisky, I dance.

Thanks for giving me a chance to sing along and feel up. Great song, so many love songs are so sad, this is a happy song. I like being happy so I'll keep it in mind to have a happy favorite love song. First, I want to find a happy love.

Happy Valentines Day to you!
