Everyone Knew She Was Windy

Seemed like everyone else was listening
to the Beatles but she was always
playing the music of the Association.
She was so cute I could kiss her.
And I did every chance that I got
we'd meet under the sycamore tree
half way between her place and mine
and on moonlit nights I'd hold her
tight and kiss her and she would
reach out to capture a moment
and everyone knew she was Windy.
Even I started believing it
after awhile because I
needed her kisses
and I loved
her smile.

Windy by The Association

Who's peeking out from under a stairway
calling a name that's lighter than air.
Who's bending down to give me a rainbow.
Everyone knows it's Windy.

Who's tripping down the streets of the city
smiling at everybody she sees.
Who's reaching out to capture a moment.
Everyone knows it's Windy.

And Windy has stormy eyes
that flash at the sound of lies.
And Windy has wings to fly
above the clouds, above the clouds.

Who's tripping down the streets of the city
smiling at everybody she sees.
Who's reaching out to caputure a moment.
Everyone knows it's Windy.

James, this is so beautiful. I've never heard the song, or maybe I have, but I never seem to remember the titles...

but your words are so sweet. It speaks of a sweet and innocent first love.

AHA! I remember that song!
And it's a nice tribute to your friend that you remember her this way. Hope she has a chance to read this.

(smiles) Yep, I remember that song too (or should I say I have heard it) and as much as The Beatles are the father of all rock and roll so many other artists deserve recognition that never really got it! (big hugggsssssss) May Windy continue to grace that sycamore tree, sweet friend, yay, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet James, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

Well done SBJ
