This is song #16 for November 16, reminding us not to take for granted the people in our lives.
OOOH, LOOK
by Pam Bowen
Verse 1:
Oooh, look, they dropped the New Year’s ball
Through the New York neon haze.
Oooh, look at Jimmy give his all
On the age-old Opry stage.
CHORUS:
“OOOH, LOOK,” I SAY TO NO ONE
I HAVE NO ONE TO SHOW.
THE WONDERS I AM SEEING
MEAN NOTHING WITHOUT YOU.
Verse 2:
Oooh, look, the checked flag flaps away
At the Indy finish line.
Oooh, look, Old Faithful spouts his spray
Tourists stare and check the time.
CHORUS
Verse 3:
Oooh, look, that cowboy hangs on tight:
Piece of cake to stay eight seconds.
Oooh, look, black clouds turn day to night;
Lightning cracks into the canyon.
CHORUS
Verse 4:
Oooh, look, one cable car climbs the hill
While fog hides the Golden Gate.
Oooh, look, sunset at Malibu
Across the Pacific waves.
Bridge:
The sweetest sound when we were together
Now breaks my heart whenever I hear it.
CHORUS
