Sometimes I think my iPod is psychic.
I like to put it on shuffle and just let it surprise me from time to time, and usually whenever I do that, it somehow seems to tap into my mind and pick the perfect songs that match my current mood or feelings.
Such was the case today.
I put it on shuffle and it found a hidden gem on my iPod that I didn’t even know I had on there. I’ve been listening to it all day, and if you’ll humor me, I’d like to share it with you now.
Somewhere Down the Road by Barry Manilow
We had the right love
At the wrong time.
Guess I always knew inside
I wouldn’t have you for a long time.Those dreams of yours
Are shining on distant shores,
And if they’re calling you away
I have no right to make you stay.But somewhere down the road
Our roads are gonna cross again.
It doesn’t really matter when.
But somewhere down the road
I know that heart of yours will come to see
That you belong with me.Sometimes goodbyes are not forever.
It doesn’t matter if you’re gone.
I still believe in us together.
I understand more than you think I can.
You have to go out on your own
So you can find your way back home.And somewhere down the road
Our roads are gonna cross again.
It doesn’t really matter when.
But somewhere down the road
I know that heart of yours will come to see
That you belong with me.Letting go is just another way to say
I’ll always love you so.We had the right love
At the wrong time.
Maybe we’ve only just begun.
Maybe the best is yet to come.‘Cause somewhere down the road
Our roads are gonna cross again.
It doesn’t really matter when.
But somewhere down the road
I know that heart of yours will come to see
That you belong with me.
I promise you I’m not turning into a Fanilow.
