#62 Can I Change My Mind (Tyrone Davis) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
Aww, she didn’t bat an eye
As I packed my bags to leave
I thought she would start to cry
Or sit around my room and grieve🪄
But y’all, the girl
She fooled me this time
She acted like I was
The last thing on her mind
I would like to start all over again🪄
Baby, can I change my mind
I just wanna change my mind
Baby, let me change my mind🪄
As I took those steps
Toward that open door
Knowing all the time
Oh, Lord, I just didn’t wanna go🪄
But she didn’t give me no sign
Nothing that would
Make me change my mind
I would like to start all over again🪄
Baby, can I change my mind
Please, please, please, baby
I just wanna change my mind🪄
Oh, I played my games
Million times before
But people, let me tell y’all
Oh, I never reached the door🪄
Ooh, the winds howl tonight
I keep lookin’ back but my baby’s nowhere in sight
I would like to start all over again🪄
Baby, can I change my mind
I just wanna change my mind
Baby, let me change my mind

Decorating with the Season: Summer Houses

“The English rose greets the summer garden with a profusion of color and perfume and our doors and windows are thrown open to allow the season’s intoxicating atmosphere to envelop us and our home.”

Sydney A. Sykes

“Summer for me is simplicity and ease. To be able to move in and through my home without concern as the outdoors is the temple of beingness at this time of year.”

–Ban Breathnach, Sarah. “Simple Abundance: A Daybook of Comfort and Joy”. Grand Central Publishing. (1976). Kindle Page 208 to 210 of 501.
