<3 Happy Valentine's Day!! <3
For the first time, in a very long while, I am without a Valentine, but it's okay --- I refuse to be even slightly bothered by it --- because the way I see it is that it will just make me that much more appreciative the next time I have one! However, my dearest blogland readers, if you are sad about not having a Valentine today, then I grant you full permission to consider yourself my Honorary Valentine. If there was any way that I could transport you some candy hearts (more specifically, Willy Wonka's Everlasting Gobstopper Heartbreakers - my fave V-Day candy) through the intertubes, I absolutely would, but instead, you will have to settle for today's song as your Valentine treat --- think of all the calories you're being spared (according to the package 60 calories/8 pieces of candy)!!! ;-D Actually, though, I've made a special playlist of Classic Country songs dedicated to all of you who have declared yourselves to be my Honorary Valentine, and it's located at the very, very end of this entire post!
This song is a bit of a departure from the tunes I selected earlier this week and sounds a tad closer to Modern Country songs; however, Don Williams is considered a Classic Country artist, and this is a really sweet song... so enjoy!
Also, when I was flipping through the Dallas Observer last week, I saw that Don Williams will be at the Choctaw Casino & Resort in Durant, OK, on Thursday, February 28th. I won't have the opportunity to see the show because I have my legal research class that evening, but I bet it would be a blast!!!
And before I go, I found some V-Day Horoscopes on a ridiculously hilarious site. I had to share mine with you because it made me laugh hysterically:
Scorpio (Oct. 24th-Nov. 22nd)
Someone will confront you in a dark alley this week. They'll speak to you in hushed tones, back you into a corner, and open one side of their jacket to reveal their heart. It'll be big and red, maybe made of cardboard with a lace trim. They'll offer it to you free of charge, no questions asked, just to try to get you hooked. When you hesitate, they'll try to intimidate you: "All the cool kids are celebrating Valentine's Day. What are you, a frozen chicken?" If you know you can't handle it, don't give into the pressure. Just say no.

First I get cold, then hot
Think I'm on fire, but I'm not
Oh, what a pain I've got
It must be love
There's nothing I can do
All that I want is you
All that I want is you
Look what I'm going through
It must be love
CHORUS:
It must be love, it must be love
I fall like a sparrow, fly like a dove
You must be the dream, I've been dreamin' of
Oh what a feeling, it must be love
Something is wrong alright
I think of you all night
I think of you all night
Can't sleep til morning light
It must be love
Seeing you in my dreams
Holding you close to me
Holding you close to me
Oh what else can it be
It must be love
And if you are still not convinced that these Classic Country artists were pure genius, then I am going to leave you with this song by Floyd Cramer called "Last Date". There are no lyrics, but the strings and piano playing elicit so much emotion that lyrics would just plain ruin the song... give it a listen, and see if you agree...
