Valentine’s Day

Valentine’s Day

February 15, 2022 Jerry King Comments 0 Comment

Yesterday was Valentine’s Day.  Laura and I had breakfast together at Buttermilk which is an uncommonly good place for biscuits.  We reflected upon the many years that we have been together.  Our journey has been worthwhile, a mutual learning.  In a manner of speaking, from our first meeting, the initial conversation I found her interesting.  That was the beginning.  Our passage through space and time continues.

This tune by Foreigner causes me to reflect upon my good fortune to know Laura, to have a relationship which has endured.  Is this a matter of luck?  Most definitely.

Can’t stop now, I’ve traveled so far…

I Want To Know What Love Is

By Foreigner

I gotta take a little time
A little time to think things over
I better read between the lines
In case I need it when I’m older

Now this mountain I must climb
Feels like a world upon my shoulders
Through the clouds I see love shine
It keeps me warm as life grows colder

In my life there’s been heartache and pain
I don’t know if I can face it again
Can’t stop now, I’ve traveled so far
To change this lonely life

I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
I wanna feel what love is
I know you can show me

I’m gonna take a little time
A little time to look around me
I’ve got nowhere left to hide
It looks like love has finally found me

In my life there’s been heartache and pain
I don’t know if I can face it again
I can’t stop now, I’ve traveled so far
To change this lonely life

I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
I wanna feel what love is
I know you can show me

I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
And I wanna feel, I want to feel what love is
And I know, I know you can show me

Let’s talk about love
I wanna know what love is, the love that you feel inside
I want you to show me, and I’m feeling so much love
I wanna feel what love is, no, you just cannot hide
I know you can show me, yeah

I wanna know what love is, let’s talk about love
I want you to show me, I wanna feel it too
I wanna feel what love is, I want to feel it too
And I know and I know, I know you can show me
Show me love is real, yeah
I wanna know what love is…
