ode to Judy Collins

I was with someone for 4.5 years, it took 2 years to get over them. I was with someone for 1 year, it took 3 years to get over them. I have been with people for 3 or 4 months, and when it ended, I was over it within 24 hours. now I find myself thinkin daily about someone I almost, but never actually went on a date with, daily for the last 2 months. its lifes illusions I recall, I really dont know life at all.

..... went to high school with someone dated during University after being friends and we dated probably about three years with maybe a year afterward when we still saw each other somewhat romantically though not seriously. It's being about decade actually one dozen years now and I would not say I'm over her. Oh well that's the way life goes.

They say it's because he's thinking about you.

Kind of like yelling

with a bit of a trill at the end; I really don't know how to sing- but I don't let that stop me

I prefer the Joni Mitchell (Orchestral) version…
It’s the one song that still makes me cry.

yeah, But if her version of "this flight tonight" is anything to go by, her version of both sides now probably sounds like a dying cat stuck in an running washing machine

The Judy Collins version is MUCH better than the Joni Mitchell version.

I've been daily thinking of someone I haven't gone on a date with for about 13 years now. I kind of believed that my intensity of thinking about them would somehow magically bring them back into my life. That's a nope.
