on confusing song lyrics

Anyone who has read my blog knows that I like to copy
song lyrics to make my posts look longer.

:-)

and occasionally I do this with poetry also.

But sometimes song lyrics can be confusing.



Back in 1978 there was a song that ran through
my mind almost incessantly.


It was the Bob Hope song 'Thanks for the Memories.'


but you know i could never figure out why it was always
running through my mind - and i was glad when it stopped



Then I remember in 1969 I would be thinking about the
lyrics and the haunting melody of  'Those Were the Days
My Friend we thought they'd never end...'

but you know i never knew why i was thinking about that
one either




More recently a song has been working its way through my
mind which is:  when will i hold you again


Now really - hold who - and how can you hold someone again
if you have never held them in the first place


Barry Manilow - help me out here



Is that just one of those songs that is truly beautiful
but void of meaning for us Dreamers?
