And be careful of what you do 'cause the lie becomes the truth

I just finished watching the return episode of Glee and I love it.  I love music, most of my life can be connected to a song or two.  Certain songs can take me back to a moment that was important in my life.  For example, the song "Breakfast at Tiffany's" by Deep Blue Something reminds me of one of my closest and dearest friends.  That was the song we would sing to each other in high school.  Everytime I hear it, I think of her and smile.

Not all songs bring on happy memories.  For example, "Wonderful Tonight" by Eric Clapton reminds me of a night that my parents went out before they were divorced. 
The lyrics are simple, but so loaded for me.  I picture my dad singing this song to my mom.

It's late in the evening; she's wondering what clothes to wear.
She puts on her make-up and brushes her long blonde hair.
And then she asks me, "Do I look all right?"
And I say, "Yes, you look wonderful tonight."

We go to a party and everyone turns to see
This beautiful lady that's walking around with me.
And then she asks me, "Do you feel all right?"
And I say, "Yes, I feel wonderful tonight."

I feel wonderful because I see
The love light in your eyes.
And the wonder of it all
Is that you just don't realize how much I love you.

It's time to go home now and I've got an aching head,
So I give her the car keys and she helps me to bed.
And then I tell her, as I turn out the light,
I say, "My darling, you were wonderful tonight.
Oh my darling, you were wonderful tonight."

I associate this song with bittersweet feelings because it reminds me one of the last times my parents were together and then their separation.  I don't hear it very often, but it can take me right back to 1990 and I am ten and my whole world changed when my mom forced my dad to leave.
I feel such a deep connection to music and I can see the same connection for Anna.  She loves music and is already learning lyrics and artists and songs.  Her current favorite is Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean" and even though she doesn't understand the lyrics, she knows them all and when I hear it, I can't help but smile when I hear: "Billie Jean is not my lover, She's just a girl who claims that I am the one, But the kid is not my son, She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son."  There is nothing like a little girl dancing in the living room to a little MJ.
