We hit 45 years last March. So, we're in the same area code.
Here's a sing for you: I wrote it, and my band played it at nearly every show.
"Love On Ice"
I'll try to find a DVD with it and post it to YouTube, then put a link here.
Cooking right now, though.

My mother loved that song. It was recorded in the 1940s as "There's No Tomorrow" and then again in 1960 as "It's Now or Never" by Elvis Presley. Same tune, different words and they both contain the word love. (I guess that's a "two-fer"!)

Hope you had a wonderful day!

Listen to the fiddler play
When he's playin' 'til the break of day
Oh me, oh my
Love that country pie

Raspberry, strawberry, lemon and lime
What do I care?
Blueberry, apple, cherry, pumpkin and plum
Call me for dinner, honey, I'll be there

Saddle me up my big white goose
Tie me on 'er and turn her loose
Oh me, oh my
Love that country pie

I don't need much and that ain't no lie
Ain't runnin' any race
Give to me my country pie
I won't throw it up in anybody's face

Shake me up that old peach tree
Little Jack Horner's got nothin' on me
Oh me, oh my
Love that country pie "
