I've had many times, I can tell you times when innocence I'd trade for companyand children saw me crying, I thought I'd had my share of thatbut these miss you nights are the longestmidnight diamonds stud my heaven southward burning lie the jewels that eye your placeand the warm winds that embrace me, just as surely kissed your faceyeah, these miss you nights - they're the longesthow I miss you, I'm not likely to tellI'm human and cold daylight buys the pride I'd rather sellall my secrets are a wasted affair - you know them well thinking of my going, how to cut the thread and leave it all behindlooking windward for my compass, I take each day as it arrivesbut these miss you nights. . . are the longestlay down all thought of your surrender, it's only me who's killing timelay down all dreams and themes once remembered,
it's just the same this miss you game
.
yeah, these miss you nights. . .
. . .are the longest

just caught up to the fact that you are ill!
Oh Dear!
Hope that you can take it easy and that they find the cause and it's not too worrying and you can laugh, or at least breath again.
Hugs xxxx

mig a little - pain killers are wonderful things! and he's great, eh, Cliff

Mel I watch cooking programmes! is that the same thing?

there's a valid place for sadness, methinks

so long as it just remains one place, not the whole place

??

Zig I hope they find out what it is - and maybe, in the meantime, it will just go away!

hugs, honey

erm, you are not aquainted with Sir Cliff Richard. . .

say what!!!!!

has The Brit never sung you "we're all going on a summer holiday"?!?!?!?! or "young ones, darlin' we're the young ones"!?!?!?!??!?!?!?

. . .and he's NEVER sung "beware the devil woman, she's gonna get you". . .

Cir Cliff predates The Beatles, was Blighty's answer to Elvis and has had a number one in every decade since
