Beginnings

This is what I would have said to her had I met my wife while we were still in high school instead of when we met seven years after high school. During high school I was a musician and I loved playing jazz and rock on my instrument the slide trombone.  The words to the Chicago band's song Beginnings, express just how I would have felt had we met while in high school. I sure hope she would have liked it had I played Beginnings on my horn and sang it to her. But Its hard to know just what her reaction would have been had I done so. I'm guessing that her feelings would've been hard for her to put into words. Maybe she would have been...silent... silent, but I hope in a good way. 

Song lyrics excerpts are below. 
Songwriter: Robert Lamm

When I'm with you, it doesn't matter where we are, or what we're doing
I'm with you, that's all that matters.

Time passes much too quickly, when we're together laughing I wish I could sing it to you, oh no, I wish I could sing it to you.

Oh whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh.
Oh whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh.
Mostly I'm silent, mm-hm-hm-hm... Silent, la la la la la.


Never think of the right words to say.

When I kiss you, I feel a thousand different feelings
The color of chills all over my body, yeah, yeah, yeah!

And when I feel them, I quickly try to decide which one?
I should try to put into words, oh no, try to put into words.

Mostly I'm silent... Silent... La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la... Silent.
