Goodbye Davy Jones

I just learned that Davy Jones of the Monkees died today.  I'm so bummed.  He was my first boyfriend, after all. 

When KZ was born, I sang her the song, "I'm a Believer," written by Neil Diamond, and released by the Monkees in 1966, the year I was born.  

It was perfect to describe my feels of being a new mom.  For your memory lane, listening pleasure ... for KZ and Davy Jones.
 
I thought love was only true in fairy tales
Meant for someone else but not for me
Love was out to get me
That's the way it seemed.
Disappointment haunted all my dreams.

And then I saw her face
Now I'm a believer
Not a trace
Of doubt in my mind
I'm in love ooooo whoa
I'm a believer I couldn't leave her if I tried.

I thought love was more or less a givin' thing.
Seems the more I gave the less I got.
What's the use in trying?
All you get is pain.
When I needed sunshine
I got rain.

And then I saw her face
Now I'm a believer
Not a trace
Of doubt in my mind
I'm in love ooooo whoa
I'm a believer I couldn't leave her if I tried.

Love was out to get me
Now that's the way it seemed
Disappointment haunted all my dreams

And then I saw her face
Now I'm a believer
Not a trace
Of doubt in my mind
I'm in love ooooo whoa
I'm a believer I couldn't leave her if I tried.

Then I saw her face
Now I'm a believer
Not a trace
Of doubt in my mind
Said I'm a believer
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
I'm a believer
