danny who?



People smile and tell me I'm the lucky one, and we've just begun,
Think I'm gonna have a son.
He will be like she and me, as free as a dove, conceived in love,
Sun is gonna shine above.


And even though we ain't got money, I'm so in love with ya honey,
And everything will bring a chain of love.
And in the morning when I rise, you bring a tear of joy to my eyes,
And tell me everything is gonna be alright.


Seems as though a month ago I beta chi, never got high,
Oh, I was a sorry guy.
And now a smile, a face, a girl that shares my name,
Now I'm through with the game, this boy will never be the same.


And even though we ain't got money, I'm so in love with ya honey,
And everything will bring a chain of love.
And in the morning when I rise, you bring a tear of joy to my eyes,
And tell me everything is gonna be alright.


Pisces, Virgo rising is a very good sign, strong and kind,
And the little boy is mine.
Now I see a family where there once was none, now we've just begun,
Yeah, we're gonna fly to the sun.


And even though we ain't got money, I'm so in love with ya honey,
And everything will bring a chain of love.
And in the morning when I rise, you bring a tear of joy to my eyes,
And tell me everything is gonna be alright.


Love the girl who holds the world in a paper cup, drink it up,
Love her and she'll bring you luck.
And if you find she helps your mind, buddy, take her home,
Don't you live alone, try to earn what lovers own.


And even though we ain't got money, I'm so in love with ya honey,
And everything will bring a chain of love.
And in the morning when I rise, you bring a tear of joy to my eyes,
And tell me everything is gonna be alright.

Danny's Song
Kenny Loggins
Loggins and Messina


matthew and i met his first week of college.  it would be 2 years before we started dating.  2 more before we married, still... we were young.  3 years later we were pregnant, and welcomed a beautiful baby boy into our lives.

the first year we were dating i bought matthew a new wallet for christmas.  i filled the inside with pictures of us, and notes, and the lyrics to this song.  in is still in his wallet today.

if we remembered to dance at our wedding reception, it would have been to this song.  but we forgot about the whole dancing thing. 

today, this song still means so much to me.  we caught a video of this song on tv the other day, and as we watched, silent tears fell down my cheeks.  as i closed my eyes i could picture us in our wedding clothes dancing around the floor like no one was around, whispering this song in each others ears.  and i kind of thought we should be dancing to it in the middle of our family room at that moment... but i was tending to a fussing baby, and he was picking up dirty dishes scattered across the room.  and tears fell silently down my cheeks because it is more true today that it ever was before.  this song is our life.

when i wake up in the morning i am so grateful for this man.  i am so happy.  and i know that no matter what, everything is gonna be alright.  because with him, i am safe.  with him i belong.  i love him and he loves me.  it doesn't matter that we are broke.  even though we ain't got money...
