Day 7 - A Song That Reminds You Of A Certain Event

Never Saw Blue Like That - Shawn Colvin

I remember buying the Runaway Bride Soundtrack on cassette when it came out, and bringing it with me to my grandma's cottage when we went to visit her that summer. Summers at Cuba Lake were what I waited all year for. It was the one chance I had to be around my cousins that I admired so dearly. The one chance I had to be memorable to them in any way. It was my one chance to attempt to teach them something about me and my meager elementary/early middle school school likes and dislikes. The summer I brought that cassette with me, I listened to this song over and over on my Walkman because the song just reminded me the joy I felt when I spent time with my cousins, especially Shannon. She was my hero growing up. She amazed me. All I wanted was for her to love me and be proud of me. I wish with all my heart that either of those things were still happening.

Today we took a walk up the street
We picked a flower
And climbed the hill above the lake
And secret thoughts were said aloud
We watched the faces in the clouds
Until the clouds had blown away
And were we ever somewhere else
You know, it's hard to say

Chorus
And I never saw blue like that before
Across the sky, around the world
You're given me all you have and more
And no one else has ever shown me how
To see the world the way I see it now
Oh I, I never saw blue like that before

I can't believe a month ago
I was alone
I didn't know you
I hadn't seen you, or heard your name
And even now I'm so amazed
It's like a dream
It's like a rainbow
It's like the rain
And some things are the way they are
And words just can't explain

Chorus

And it feels like now
And it feels always
And it feels like coming home

Chorus
