As the sun sets on another day
All the memories will never fade away
Looking back to all those moments that we shared
Where it all began with all those dreams we dared
We leave with no regrets, we will never forget

Beautiful ballad and wonderful words to read/hear today (and any day).

The devil went down to Georgia, he was

lookin’ for a soul to steal

He was in a bind, ‘cause he was way behind

And he was willin’ to make a deal

Devil went down to Georgia, Charlie Daniels

"Kiss the Dirt (Falling Down the Mountain)" - INXS

Playing in the dirt
We find the seeds of doubt
Don't water them with your tears
Don't think about all the years
You'd rather be without

An old man turned 98

He won the lottery and died the next day

It’s a black fly in your Chardonnay

It’s a death row pardon two minutes too late

And isn’t it ironic….Don’t you think

Ironic, Alanis Morissette
