There are places I'll remember all my life,
though some have changed.
Some forever, not for better.
Some have gone and some remain.
All these places have their moments with lovers and friends,
I still can recall.
Some are dead and some are living;
In my life, I've loved them all.
But of all these friends and lovers,
there is no one, compares with you.
And these memories lose their meaning,
when I think of love as something new.
Though I know I'll never lose affection for people and things that went before,
I know I'll often stop and think about them;
In my life, I love you more.
In my life, I love you more.
Some forever, not for better.
Some have gone and some remain.
I still can recall.
In my life, I've loved them all.
there is no one, compares with you.
when I think of love as something new.
I know I'll often stop and think about them;
Many, many thanks to Lennon/McCartney and The Beatles. This song has long been one of my favorites, but has come to mean something so dear since living here. I don't know how long hearing it will make me burst into tears, but I promise, they're thankful, joyful tears- because I got to call God's Own Country home for three beautiful years.
disclaimer: Paul isn't pictured because he hates being in pictures, so my selection is limited. Mia's not pictured because nearly all of my pictures of her are indoors and sadly, don't show the beauty of Yorkshire. Also, the first picture of the dogs is actually from Jedburgh Abbey, The Borders, Scotland. I just love it.

ReplyDeleteHi Gesci-I'm over from Lindsay's blog. I'm glad that you have experienced living in England and particularly Yorkshire, it is a special place (but then again I am biased as it is where I grew up.) Your photos are stunning and I think you have definitely captured some of the best bits of Yorkshire (the Betty's picture made me smile.) Safe travels back to the US.
ReplyDeletenot going to lie. i welled up a bit. as much as i miss america, i have a feeling ill be really sad when i leave the UK...this most reminds me to be thankful of the time i do have left here...love u girl.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! I feel like I just watch the series finale to an awesome television show and my eyes are definitely feeling the vapors! Thank you so much for sharing your journey in England with us! I can't wait to see what life will be like when you are back on the East Coast! Send me an email sometime and fill me in on your details! You are probably just a few hours from me so we need to get our jeep date scheduled! ;)
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing Gesci, you have taken some beautiful photos of my beloved Yorkshire.
ReplyDeleteThe words to "My Life" are some of my favourites too.
I hope that the "Long and Winding Road" brings you back here.
I love your "babies" too.
Mary - Yorkshire
P.S. I am very tearful too.
