You Wanna Make A Memory?

The Notorious Train bridge!



I don't remember the mountains being there as a kid!

Hello again, it’s you and me
Kinda always like it used to be
Sippin' wine, killing time
Trying to solve life’s mysteries.
How’s your life, it’s been a while
God it’s good to see you smile
I see you reaching for your keys
Looking for a reason not to leave.

If you don’t know if you should stay
If you don’t say what’s on your mind
Baby just, breathe there’s no where else tonight we should be-
You wanna make a memory.

I was thinking about my younger years...More specifically when I lived in Otterburn Park, Quebec. I had some great friends back then and two of them have popped up on facebook! Mike is an old boyfriend...my first REAL boyfriend at that! He played guitar back then and we would sit around while he played, and sing, and I used to be star struck when he would play in the METRO station for spare change! Noel was one of my Best friends. We hung out at Orchard parties and down by the Train Bridge where only the brave kids would hang off the bridge while the trains passed overhead! Mike and Noel and I and my close girlfriend Cathie (whom I have yet to locate) all used to hang out together with a few others. I was 14 and 15 years old then! It is nice to re-connect. Both of these guys are living in B.C. the place I have been longing to move to my entire life! Mike still plays guitar and is in a band....check out his website here!

I dug up this old photograph
Look at all that hair we had
It’s bittersweet to hear you laugh
Your phone is ringing, I don’t wanna ask.

If you go now, I’ll understand
If you stay, hey, I got a plan
You wanna make a memory
You wanna steal a piece of time
You could sing a melody to me
And I could write a couple lines
You wanna make a memory.

If you don’t know if you should stay
And you don’t say what’s on your mind
Baby just, breathe there’s no where else tonight we should be-
You wanna make a memory
You wanna steal a piece of time
You could sing a melody to me
And I could write a couple lines
You wanna make a memory
You wanna make a memory

They Recently Posted these comments on a NOTE I wrote on facebook called Memory Bandwagon...what do you recall.....

Mike: I remember you and me drinking beer under the train bridge in Otterburn Park in January or February on the frozen Richelieu river.It was something like -20 degrees.I remember thinking how easy it was for us to talk about anything and I remember having a great time with you that day.

Noel: I remember lots of things from back then. Walking to the store at lunch during school, hanging out on the train bridge, hanging out at your house, my house , Cathys house. I could go on for hours.
