Today, 2 years ago – my Dad passed away. He never used to talk about his feelings and found other ways to deal with it, but he had a GIANT, BEEEG heart, he was a real softy too.
One thing I got from him – apart from fat and funny-looking toes – giving to other people. It’s just something we do and we can’t stop. I see it as a blessing, it feels good to give. Thanks Wooly!
When I was a little Narry, Dad used to sing this song to me. I never knew the lyrics, except for the “Say Me Say You” part… and of course I thought I was extra special, because I knew a Lionel Richie song.
Listening to it now, I think this was my Dad’s way of talking to me – especially when he didn’t know how to deal with the emotions.
Til this day, I know he walks beside me, telling me “everything will be okay”.

Say you, say me
Say it for always
That’s the way it should be
Say you, say me
Say it together
Naturally
I had a dream,
I had an awesome dream
People in the park
Playing games in the dark
And what they played,
Was a masquerade,
From behind the walls of doubt
A voice was crying out
Say you, say me
Say it for always
That’s the way it should be
Say you, say me
Say it together
Naturally
As we go down life’s lonesome highway,
Seems the hardest thing to do
is to find a friend or two
That helping hand,
Someone who understands
when you feel you lost your way
You’ve got someone there to say:
I’ll show you
Say you, say me
Say it for always
That’s the way it should be
Say you, say me
Say it together
Naturally
So you think you know the answers,
Oh, no
Well, the whole world’s got you dancing, that’s right, I’m telling you.
It’s time to start believe,
oh yes,
Believe in who you are, you are a shining star.
Say you, say me
Say it for always
That’s the way it should be
Say you, say me
Say it together
Naturally
Say it together
Naturally
Narry, this is a beautiful song and dedication…
