For those who favor coloring books,

listen very well, 

on that day Brenda Lee sang.

Her most unusual coloring book.

I know that song, I know it well.

Begin to color me.

I know that song,

it's one of the songs

which open the gates

of bittersweet memory.

Those songs which break my heart

and bring them back.

Near a building storing the Rolls

Princess Di toured Chitown in,

My princesses paid a visit.

Some old rock and rollers

reminisced about their heydays

and their crush on little Miss Brenda

before she sang her song via satellite.

I sought a car from that year,

a muscle car, of course,

but not a Dodge, how sad.

But they seemed to be all around.

A fleet of vintage T-Birds,

a mystery blonde's cute sister in each.

A short-brown-haired girl with a fetching smile,

her best friend with a tempting grin,

waiting in the back of a slinky Olds ragtop.

Which one?

Who knows.

All the places they followed me to,

while riding around in my heart,

and now their memories

finally followed me on vacation.
