In trying to decide whether to select this optimistic ditty or Frank Sinatra's "It Had to Be You" for the #9 spot, which was the song that I shared with a past love, I deemed it wiser to choose the one that didn't have any negativity tied to it. Growing up a fan of the Big Band era and the charming crooners of the 50's & 60's (courtesy of my paternal grandfather, who always had his radio tuned to the old-school station), my fondness for this type of music remains precisely since it is so romantic.
“Somewhere there has to be
The other half of me,
The other half of me
I’ve yet to meet."
"One special someone
Whose heart has a similar leaning.”
Who doesn't believe that his/her Mr. or Ms. Right is out there? As children, we've been conditioned through fairy tales, films, and even songs to trust that our "special someone" or soul mate is just waiting to be discovered, and that when we do meet him/her, it will be love at first sight. For me, I've only felt that instant attraction or chemistry with only two people: my 3 year-old godson and 9 month-old "niece," upon holding them for the first time. But hey, there's a first time for everything, right?
