One of These Days

I lovvvvvvvvvvve my boyfriend. He's amazing in so many ways. One of those ways is that he knows a little something about everything, and a whole lot about a lot of things, including music. In a conversation with him last night, he called me erudite. Which is adorable, and maybe a little bit true, but he's a lot more so than me.

And then, as if to prove that my wealth of knowledge is as deep as his without even trying, I sang a bar from a Neil Young song he did not know or recognize:

One of these days,
I'm gonna sit down
and write a long letter
To all the good friends I've known
And I'm gonna try
And thank them all
for the good times together.
Though so apart we've grown.

Mind you, it is more difficult to recognize a bar of a song that I sing, but he hadn't even heard of it:

One of these days,
I'm gonna sit down
and write a long letter
To all the good friends I've known
One of these days,
one of these days,
one of these days,
And it won't be long, it won't be long.

And I'm gonna thank,
That old country fiddler
And all those rough boys
Who play that rock 'n' roll
I never tried to burn any bridges
Though I know I let some good things go.

One of these days,
I'm gonna sit down
and write a long letter
To all the good friends I've known
One of these days,
one of these days,
one of these days,
And it won't be long, it won't be long.

From down in L.A.
All the way to Nashville,
From New York City
To my Canadian prairie home
My friends are scattered
Like leaves from an old maple.
Some are weak, some are strong.

One of these days,
I'm gonna sit down
and write a long letter
To all the good friends I've known
One of these days,
one of these days,
one of these days,
And it won't be long, it won't be long.

Nope, Neil, it won't be long. It won't be long before I get to see this man that I love so much again. Just two months from today I'll be out East with him!

One of these days,
one of these days,
one of these days,
And it won't be long, it won't be long.
