Story about this misheard lyric by: Mary This was the first song I actually REMEMBER hearing on the radio. I mean that I was aware of and looked forward to hearing again. I was in the 6th grade and home with pneumonia so my Mom brought a radio to play by my bed. I just loved it and felt like Van Morrison was singing it specially for me - even though I have blue eyes. |
