Hi folks,
This is a great topic for me as I was a DJ for years! I started in 1979 until May of 2006.
I worked all kinds of formats. Rock, Pop, Soft Rock, Oldies & finally Country.
Country ALWAYS put me in a funk because of all the "I love my Mom & Dad" songs! Boy, I could not relate!!
Anyway, I'm going to post a song by Skylark that was popular in the 70's.
Anywhere else this might be labled as self-pity. But here on this board MANY of us have had N parents that devistated our life's, so I know nobody will ridicule me!
So here goes! This song still makes me cry!
Wildflower
Skylark
She's faced the hardest times
you could imagine
and many times her eyes fought back the tears
and when her youthful world
was about to fall in
each time her slender shoulders
bore the weight of all her fears
and a sorrow no one hears
still rings in midnight silence,
in her ears
Let her cry, for she's a lady
let her dream, for she's a child
let the rain fall down upon her
She's a free and gentle flower,
growing wild
and if by chance I should hold her
let me hold her for a time
but if allowed just one possession
I would pick her from the garden,
to be mine
Be careful how you touch her,
for she'll awaken
and sleep's the only freedom that she knows
and when you walk into her eyes,
you won't believe
the way she's always paying
for a debt she never owes
and a silent wind still blows
that only she can hear and so she goes
Let her cry, for she's a lady
let her dream, for she's a child
let the rain fall down upon her
She's a free and gentle flower,
growing wild
I bet alot of you can relate to this, huh?
Thanks for letting me post!
