I'm not sure why this song has been on my mind the last couple of days. Maybe it is the Back-to-School feelings coming on. This was the father~daughter dance song at my wedding. Not a dry eye in the house, I tell ya. Hope it moves you the way it does me.

The wing and the wheel... they carry things away
Whether it's me that does the leavin' or the love that flies away.
The moon outside my window looks so lonely tonight
Oh, there's a chunk out of it's middle... big enough for an old fool to hide
Where are all the dreamers... that I used know?
We used to linger beneath street lamps in the halos and the smoke
The wing and the wheel... came to carry them away
Now they all live out in the suburbs
where their dreams are in their children at play
There's a pale sky in the east... all the stars are in the west
Oh, here's to all the dreamers... may our open hearts find rest
The wing and the wheel are gonna carry us along
And we'll have memories for company... long after the songs are gone

I had forgotten all about how sweet that song and dance were until I read your blog! It was grand to reminisce for just a little bit...thank you!
That is very sweet, Jennie. Thank you so much for sharing. When is your anniversary?
My anniversary is June 8th. We celebrated 8 years of marriage this past year :)
I always find that some songs just have deliciously wonderful lyrics that can really hit home--some times they almost seem tangible.
Ribbons Undone comes from a song titled "Ribbons Undone."
Wow--eight years? You're practically still newlyweds!
