Today, I want to honor a great man on his 70th birthday. He loves music, and you can always find him with his guitar, jamming to old classics from the Beatles and others. I found this video of him singing one of his songs, Life Without You, written by Cookie Rodriguez (on the left), my father-in-law. Happy Birthday, Cookie! This post is for you.
I hope you enjoy the video and have a wonderful, Rockin’ Thursday, my WordPress friends!
Edited to include the lyrics.
Life Without You
(By Cookie Rodriguez)
I can’t imagine life without you
So many things wouldn’t be the same
And when I think about you
I realize that you’re the only one I love
And so, I think about you
And I see that it’s me for you
And it’s you for me
♪♫
And every night I dream about you
Each time so vivid it seems so real
And when I dream about you
There can be no doubt that you’re the one I love
And so, I dream about you
And I dream that it’s me for you
And it’s you for me
♪♫
I can’t imagine life without you
So many things wouldn’t be the same
And when I think about you
I realize that you’re the only one I love
And so, I think about you
And I see that it’s me for you
And it’s you for me
