Riptide

Artist: Vance Joy

I love you when you’re singing that song and
I got a lump in my throat ’cause
You’re gonna sing the words wrong

Even during challenging or tough times, my love for you is like the riptide. It flows up inside me and fills me up with abundant joy and happiness, because I get to be your man and see your beauty shine everyday.

The Girl from Ipanema

Artist: The Oscar Peterson Trio

Something old to listen to…

When I listen to the jazz station while working and hear this song, I am reminded of Grandma & Grandpa Mulligan. This song would play from the little radio in their house while my sister and I played with toys in the family room or while we ate a meal together at their little kitchen table. Then I recall all the laughter and joy the Mulligans shared with us and feel so blessed that I have someone like my Deb and our kids to share this wonderful life.

Dark Blue

Artist: Jack’s Mannequin

And then the water reached the West Coast
And took the power lines
And it was me and you (this could last forever)
And the whole town under water
There was nothing we could do
It was dark blue

No matter what the circumstances or how far apart we are, I always think of you my best friend and beautiful wife.
