A Birthday song for my sister :) :) :)

DAYS LIKE THOSE (Lyrics Heather Leduc, music Dolores Dagenais)

You had some tin cans
I had some rusty spoons
Your yard was cool and shady
in the heat of summer afternoons

We had some cheap dolls
and cast off baby clothes
and mud pies baking in the sun
and a sprinkler and garden hose

We didnt have much, we had everything
Days we spent like we chose
It doesnt seem like much, but it was something
what Id give for days like those
You, me, tin cans and baby clothes.

We have our husbands
We have our families
There are bills and tragedies
altered states, and reality

Weve got the Internet
Weve got the telephone
Theres no space between us
tho youre out East and Im back home

We didnt have much, we had everything
Days we spent like we chose
It doesnt seem like much, but it was something
what Id give for days like those
You, me, tin cans and baby clothes.

Duration : 0:3:43

    well dolores, you got me with this one. so simple, so sincere, so beautiful. this is one of those rare songs that just touch you in your heart. it’s little events like this that help make this journey worth the effort, and the time. lovely vocal harmony. right to favorites and five stars. i bet this one nearly wrote itself, chuck.
