It was always summer and the future called

we were ready for adventures

and we wanted them all

there was so much left to dream

and so much time to make it real.

It was long ago and it was far away

It was long ago and so far away

Oh god it seems so very far

and if life is just a highway

then the soul is just a car

and objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are.

And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are.

And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are.

And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are.

Say it isn’t so. We lost Meatloaf today and I feel like my youth has gone with him.

There was no song ever that made me young again like Paradise by the Dashboard Lights. It has always been one of my top favorites and it brings back so memories of fun times with friends as we sang along. It put me right back on the dance floor, seeing my friends. It’s a cultural icon song bringing generations…
