Somebody's Miranda

Met an old man yesterday Next to me on a westbound plane He said "I was married sixty years I swear it feels like she's still here." Then he took out a picture Staring at that black and white The tears filled up in his eyes I said "You were a lucky man." He said "I feel like I still am." When he told me her name I heard myself say... I wanna be Somebody's Chelsea Somebody's world Somebody's day and night One and only girl A part of a love story That never has an end You know that's what every woman wants to be Somebody's Chelsea He made me laugh when he talked about Their first date and her father's doubts He said "Even as her hair turned gray, She still took my breath away." And that it never changed with time That's when I closed my eyes...

i heard this song and thought on my grandparents... married for 60 years... they had the love story. i could see my gramps talking about granny in this way. and i always loved seeing them as this couple. The living love story. My grandfather was in love with my grandmother for 60 years and I know when she passed away the hole that was left in his heart. He is a tough man he carries on because he has to but I know he mus miss my grandmother like crazy. So this song to me should be Somebody's Miranda... because that is my Granny's name. And I know my Gramps loved her and still loves her just like the man in this song... I don't do alot of daydreaming. But if i were to be honest someday I want to be somebody's Miranda, Somebody's Chelsea. But the thing is I won't settle for anything less than that. I have seen the love my grandparents had. I see the love my parents have that so many couples i admire have... and I would rather wait out for that than to give in to something that would fall short of that. So i keep on living. I keep on exploring this life and loving this life... But i know these lines hit home to me....

I wanna be Somebody's Chelsea Somebody's world Somebody's day and night One and only girl A part of a love story That never has an end You know that's what every woman wants to be Somebody's Chelsea...Somebody's MIRANDA....
