A song for today....

There aren't too many songs I know all the words to. The followingis one of them. Originally recorded by J. Frank Wilson and the Cavaliers and covered a few years ago by Pearl Jam. These are the lyrics. If you know anything about me, you why this song is in my head today. Happy fucking Valentine's Day.

Where, oh where, can my baby be? the lord took her away fromMe. shes gone to heaven, so Ive got to be good. so I can see my baby when iLeave this world.We were out on a date in my daddys car. we hadnt driven very far. there inThe road, straight ahead. a car was stalled, the engine was dead.I couldnt stop, so I swerved to the right. Ill never forget the sound thatNight. the screamin tires, the bustin glass. the painful scream that I heardLast.Oh where, oh where, can my baby be? the lord took her away from me. shes goneTo heaven, so Ive got to be good. so I can see my baby when I leave this world.When I woke up the rain was pourin down. there were people standin all around.Something warm flowing through my eyes. but somehow I found my baby that night.I lifted her head, she looked at me and said. hold me darling, just a littleWhile. I held her close, I kissed her our last kiss. I found the love that iKnew I had missed.Well now shes gone. even though I hold her tight. I lost my love, my life,That night.Oh where, oh where, can my baby be? the lord took her away from me. shes goneTo heaven, so Ive got to be good. so I can see my baby when I leave thisWorld.
