I'm A Lot Like You
SP Friday
August 21

Office

Dad would have turned 77 today. I miss him. He left
an impression. To his influence and love! Happy B'day.

(Note: the photo on my screen is 10 years ago in Boston)



Old Man Take a Look at My Life (Neil Young)

Old man look at my life,
I'm a lot like you were.
Old man look at my life,
I'm a lot like you were.

Old man look at my life,
Twenty four and there's so much more
Live alone in a paradise
That makes me think of two.

Love lost, such a cost,
Give me things that don' get lost.
Like a coin that wont get tossed
Rolling home to you.

Old man take a look at my life I'm a lot like you
I need someone to love me the whole day through
Ah, one look in my eyes and you can tell that's true.

Lullabies, look in your eyes,
Run around the same old town.
Doesn't mean that much to me
To mean that much to you.

Ive been first and last
Look at how the time goes past.
But I'm all alone at last.
Rolling home to you.

Old man take a look at my life I'm a lot like you
I need someone to love me the whole day through
Ah, one look in my eyes and you can tell that's true.

Old man look at my life,
I'm a lot like you were.
Old man look at my life,
I'm a lot like you were.

Wonderful tribute. Your recent photos of your Dad have really gotten me in the mood to go thru my old family photos. I didn't realize what precious memories were there.

Special days are always tough after a loved one passes but it's because we love them so much.
