"Movie Magic"
Movie Magic
I watched a classic the night of the 21st
the temperature was close to 70 that day.
White Christmas was more than a movie
it was truly a dream in this part of the country,
has been for as long as I remember.
Bing Crosby was smooth
Danny Kaye in his typical funny sidekick mode
Rosemary Clooney a picture of beauty and grace
and Vera-Ellen had beautiful legs that could dance,
the girl could kick it.
I awoke to movie magic the morning of the 22nd
first it was spitting ice
then came the snow,
didn't stop until three inches later
and hundreds of cars in ditches.
The temperature never got out of the twenties
the next two days
White Christmas finally became more than a dream.
They don't make movies like they use too.
Music has always been so special in my life
I wonder if it has the same magic?
Think I'll find out
put John Lennon on
Imagine the world as one,
wake up on the morning after Christmas
really see if dreams do come true?
