THURSDAY THEME SONG: with Paul Anka

Mom and I thank Hootin Anni for hosting 


Mom is a child of the 60's and a BIG Paul Anka fan.
Today we are featuring 
A Steel Guitar and a Glass of Wine 


This song is one of Mom's favorite songs.  She doesn't recall it being played much on the radio but she absolutely loves the music, beat and words.
She says this music makes her have happy feet.  You should have seen her dancing in her seat.  Please click on one of  the videos (sorry we didn't meant to put two on here MOL) below to hear the song while you look at our pictures and read the words.
We aren't sure but you might have to click on a you tube link to actually hear the song but it is worth it...

Just give me a steel guitar, a glass of wine
and let me drink to a love I thought was mine
A love I thought was true to me
but now I'm drinkin' to a memory
a steel guitar and a glass of wine
While my tears they glisten and the candles shine
Oh candle-glow, oh candle bright
tell me who she sniffs (holds) tonight
And bring me wine and make the music mine
Play another set, so I'll forget
Mmmmm, bring me a steel guitar and a glass of wine
and let me toast her just one more time
Oh candle-glow, before you dim
Tell her what a fool she has been
and bring me wine
Make the music mine
Play another set 
so I'll forget

and bring me a steel guitar and a glass of wine
and let me toast her just one more time
Oh candle-glow, before you dim
Tell her what a fool she's been

  7. Beautiful....I've not heard of this song. As you say, it wasn't played on the radio, I guess. This one is new to me, and it's just sooooo beautiful.

    Love your photos you two. You always do up a class act. I almost felt like bringing out my castanets to use with the great rhythm.

  14. My favorite Paul Anka song was "Lonely Boy." I think I outgrew him before he stopped singing. One of the few of my childhood idols that I totally lost interest in as I grew up. I don't remember this song but I liked it. Thanks
