Thursday Theme Song: Theme from a Summer Place

We thank Hootin' Anni for sponsoring Thursday Theme Song.

Today's song is Mom's absolute FAVORITE instrumental,

Theme from A Summer Place.

 Music by Max Steiner, lyrics written by Mack Discant in 1959 for the movie,'A Summer Place' starring Troy Donahue & Sandra Dee.

It has been so cold for the last two weeks, Mom thought this song would warm your hearts and maybe your tootsies. 

The pictures below were taken in Bermuda.  

A very nice Summer Place. 

This kitty was always outside the hotel room when Mom and Dad opened their door.  It is not ME.

The other two pictures were taken on Horseshoe Bay where the sand is pink!!!
The lyrics to the song are beautiful. 

There is a a summer place

Where it may rain or storm

Yet I'm safe and warm

For within the summer place

Your arms reach out to me

And my heart is free from all care for it knows...

There are no gloomy skies

When seen through the eyes

of those who are blessed with love

And the sweet secret of

A summer place...

Is that it is anywhere

When two people share

All their hopes, All their dreams, All their love

There's a summer place

Where it may rain or storm

Yet I'm safe and warm

In your arms

The video is by Percy Faith's Orchestra...we hope you enjoy it.
