Where the boys are

Wow, never really got what the song meant. All I knew was the 'where the boys are' but never paid attention to the rest of the lyrics. I make fun of my mom for crying over songs but yet, here I was today bawling over this song. She played it a lot when I was growing up and it just took me back...

Music is so powerful that I just can't imagine living without it. It's amazing how just one song can take you back to a certain point in your life like you were actually there. There's this one song I heard when I was in second grade and it just stuck with me. Life at home was kinda rough around that time and this song kinda kept me going. I'd listen to it and tell myself that one day, things are gonna get better. It takes a while sometimes before they do, and when you're quite not there, you question whether hoping will get you anywhere. I thought that hope was in vain but I realized that it's something that you wish for in your heart, and eventually make happen consciously or with you not even knowing it even.

Where the boys are, someone waits for me
A smilin' face, a warm embrace, two arms to hold me tenderly
Where the boys are, my true love will be
He's walkin' down some street in town and I know he's lookin' there for me

I think I might have found mine but didn't know it...
