Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
This golden
oldie from 1959 always makes me smile!
I think it's
because I always associate it with my beautiful cousin
Cheryl (White Wilson -
James Blair HS / John Marshall HS - '64 - of VA) (because we spent a lot
of time together that summer and we sang it all the time!), and she
always makes me smile, too!
BONUS - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EroRtEUmZcU - Sea of Love - Phil Phillips, 1959
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_of_Love_%28song%29:
"Sea of Love" is a song written by John Phillip Baptiste (aka Phil Phillips) and George Khoury. Phillips' 1959 recording of the song peaked at #1 on the U.S. Billboard R&B chart and #2 on the Billboard Hot 100.[1] In the UK, Marty Wilde covered the song, and Phillips' version failed to chart there. It was the only top 40 chart song for Phillips, who never recorded another hit.[2]
The song has been covered by a number of artists since then, most notably by The Honeydrippers, whose version (from the album The Honeydrippers: Volume One) reached #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in early 1985[3] and #1 on the adult contemporary chart in 1984.[4] "Sea of Love" made the Top 40 one other time, when Del Shannon took it to #33 in 1981. Tom Waits gave the song a darker twist for the soundtrack to the 1989 Harold Becker film Sea of Love starring Al Pacino and Ellen Barkin, and Waits included it on his 2006 collection Orphans: Brawlers, Bawlers & Bastards.
Baptiste, who was working as a bellboy in Lake Charles, Louisiana, USA, wrote "Sea of Love" for a love interest. He was introduced to local record producer George Khoury, who brought Baptiste into his studio to record the song. At Khoury's request, Baptiste took the stage name of Phil Phillips. The song, originally credited to Phil Phillips with The Twilights, was released on a small record label owned by Khoury, but due to its success was eventually leased to Mercury Records. Despite the song's success, Phillips claims that he has only ever received US$6,800 for recording it...[2]

May 20, 2013":
Here are some of
the pics I told you I would be sending. In the one where the three of us
are on the corner: Tim is taller than his dad, so I think we were where
the curb slopes, because I look shorter as well, so don't know how you
can explain that??
There is one of

FINALLY: |
From www.ajokeaday.com - 05/30/13:
A boy
had reached four without giving up the habit of sucking his
thumb, though his mother had tried everything from bribery
to reasoning to painting it with lemon juice to discourage
the habit. Finally she tried threats, warning her son that,
"If you don't stop sucking your thumb, your stomach is going
to blow up like a balloon."
Later that day, walking in the park, mother and son saw a pregnant woman sitting on a bench. The four-year-old considered her gravely for a minute, then spoke to her saying, "Uh-oh ... I know what you've been doing." |

Come with me my love to the sea
The sea of love
I want to tell you
How much I love you
I'm drowning in a sea of love
Do you remember the night we met?
That's the night I knew you were my pet
I want to tell you
How much I love you
I'm drowning in a sea of love
Come with me to the sea
Do you remember the night we met?
That's the night I just knew you were my pet
I want to tell you
How much I love you
I'm down in a sea of love
Come with me to the sea
Do you remember the night we met?
That's the night I just knew you were my pet
I want to tell you
How much I love you
I'm down in a sea of love
Come with me to the sea
Do you remember the night we met?
That's the night I just knew you were my pet

Come with me to the sea
Come with me my love to the sea
The sea of love
