In two months time, I will be headed for Hokkaido, Japan with my dear wife D2 for a short one week break. The last time unk Dicko was there was a long, long time ago...to be precise 37 heart-breaking years ago! WHY so painful? No, nothing of the romantic sort definitely. Because of dear FRIENDS I left behind in 1972 after my official 2nd Asian Youth Voyage homestay visit and programme ended. It was very emotional to say SAYONARA to some of the finest Japanese friends I had made while on board the Cruise ship....ss Coral Princess. We were all in our 20's mostly back then. Some should still be living in Hokkaido...though I know not where now or anything about their present life. Will I be able to trace anyone and meet up again in the short one week span?
Most unlikely...but again, who knows.
Meanwhile my heart is a-fluttering again. The Cherry Blossoms should be in full bloom. A sight to behold for anyone who has seen them.
And if I should meet my 1972 friends again, I will sing them this song on my Ukulele!
YOU WILL NEVER GROW OLD
D A D D7
You will never grow old
G D
While there's love in your heart.
G D Bm
Time may silver your golden hair
E E7 A A7
As you dream in an old rocking-chair,
D A D D7
So keep my love in your heart,
G D D7
Remember the love-tales we told
G D Bm
For with my love in your heart, my darling,
Em A D
You will never grow old.
A D
Don't be fretful, or regretful
G D A
That you will grow old much too soon.
A7 D
With a love, dear, to dream of, dear,
A D
You'll stay like a rosebud in June.
You will never...
never grow old.
1st 2 lines instrumental....
You will never...
never grow old.
For with my love in your heart, my darling,
You will never grow old.
