When my agency left the first message for me about my referral, I was seeing the current revival of The Fantasticks in NYC. The Fantasticks is my favorite play of all time. I've seen it many times over the years, including twice in its current incarnation. I love every song, especially the classic "Try to Remember" . But when I think of the baby, this song comes to me.
When the moon was young
When the month was May
When the stage was hung for my holiday
I saw shining lights
But I never knew
They were you. They were you. They were you.
When the dance was done
When I went my way
When I tried to find rainbows far away
All the lovely lights
Seemed to fade from view
They were you. They were you. They were you.
Without you near me I can't see
When you're near me
Wonderful things come to be
Every secret prayer
Every fancy free
Everything I dared for both you and me
All my wildest dreams
Multiplied by two
They were you. They were you. They were you.

I know this is a delayed comment, but when I recognized the lyrics, I had to post. I am a musical fanatic, and this is one of those songs that I always knew I'd sing to my children - I already sing it to my bio kids, and I'm waiting to sing it to my Max, hopefully coming home from India in November.
Thank you for letting me actually look at the words, and remember how applicable they are.
