My Latest Favorite Song.

I love music and listen to a lot of it on radio and TV.  Mostly, I listen to bluegrass, but I also like country, especially classic country.  As I have told you before, my Sirius Radio is always tuned to the blue grass channel, Bluegrass Junction.  Most nights when I go to bed, I listen to that channel for awhile and then turn it off.  Last night, I fell asleep with it on and woke up this morning to the wonderful sounds of bluegrass music.  Then this song came on and after it was done playing, I turned off the radio because I wanted it to stay in my mind and play over and over.  It even left a tear in my eye.

What is this song?  The Touch of Your Hand by the group Nothin' Fancy.  Here is a YouTube link to them doing this song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_8Tx84WKL_Y

Just in case you didn't catch all the words, here are the lyrics:
The Touch of Your Hand
 
I found your letters today
Well I had tucked them away
With a pair of white gloves and a fan
I held them awhile
They took me back and made me smile
As I remembered the touch of your hand
 
It was a mid summers night
The village green was in light
Paper lanterns surrounded the band
They played waltzes till dawn
Till all the couples were gone
And I remembered the touch of your hand
 
 Chorus:
 Now the face in the mirror is older
The children worry, they don’t understand
Though I don’t live for the past
But in dreams I still dance
 And remember the touch of your hand
 
Chorus Repeat:
And now the face in the mirror is older
The children worry, they don’t understand
I don’t live for the past
But in dreams I still dance
And remember the touch of your hand
 
No I don’t live for the past
But in dreams I still dance
And remember the touch of your hand
 
OK, so I am a sentimental guy, but this song really reaches out and touches me.  Now, you all touch someone you love and have a great day, you hear?

  1. I listened... loved it. Had never heard this one before. I'm the Bluegrass person in our household.... maybe I'll get out some Ralph Stanley and drive Bill up the wall tonight ;-)

    1. I know you don't watch TV, but the RFDTV channel has a lot of blue grass, well, maybe not a lot, but some. And of course the Sirius radio has a bluegrass station that plays nothing but bluegrass.
