Music memories

I was mowing yesterday for about 5hrs about 7 acres and I listen to some music and I have a song on my Playlist by David Ball, "whenever you come back to me" it has always reminded me of my dw. But now in the context of our present life it has even greater meaning.  This was on my mind to post this wondering what others might have for a favorite that reminds them of their lo. This is an aged group here I would love to hear some good songs today.

    There are several songs that do that for me. Usually they're old standards, but there are a few from our first days together that bind us together, but we would consider comical now. You know them. Lyrics like "Boola boola ram, ding dong". Yeah, we actually listened to that stuff.

         It's ironic toolbelt I just got off my mower and caught a glimpse of your post. I would have to say, my DW and I have a few songs, but our favorite is by Randy Travis the song is Forever and Ever, Amen. In the song Travis mentioned, "how time plays tricks on the a memory and makes people forget things they knew." Who would have ever guessed? Anyway that's been our go to song ever since it came out. I think in the 80's.
