Merle Haggard 1937-2016

[casp0555]

I know there are not a lot of Country Music fans on this forum but Merle Haggard was a legend within that genre. He passed away today from complications related to pneumonia. Today was also his birthday, he was 79 years old. One of the song he wrote has a very special meaning to me. I wont youtube a video but instead, list the lyrics. He was, and still is, a legend...Rest in Peace

"My Favorite Memory"

The first time we met
Is a favorite memory of mine
They say time changes all it pertains to
But your memory is stronger than time

I guess, everything does change
Except what you choose to recall
There's a million good daydreams to dream on
But baby, you are my favorite memory of all

Like the night we made love in the hallway
Slept all night long on the floor
Like the winter we spent on Lake Shasta alone
Closer than ever before

And I remember than London vacation
It was you, made the whole thing a ball
There's a million good times I could dwell on
But baby, you are my favorite memory of all

The first time we met
Is a favorite memory of mine
They say time changes all it pertains to
But your memory is stronger than time

I guess, everything does change
Except what you choose to recall
There's a million good daydreams to dream on
But baby, you are my favorite memory of all
