Joni

from Attic Dust by Paul Bezooyen

about

Written in the summer of 1976 about a romantic crush I had on a fellow camp counsellor. I was always shy and introverted around girls so I never expressed my feelings to her. I finally got the nerve to visit her the following spring and by then she was in a relationship. It's a silly song but I really like the music and the universality of the theme... No doubt, everyone has experienced this in one way or another. You snooze... You loose

lyrics

Joni, how do you remember me ?
Do you picture me as the guy that had life and love figured out ?
Well maybe I did then, but then I believed in myself
And since I saw you last I’ve been diving... diving ...diving
and thinking of you.... and hoping that you
Would envelope me as water after a diver’s dive is through

Joni, how do you remember me ?
Would I this trembling fool disillusion you ?
Looking back and seeing you compared to a thousand girls
You’re still the one my dreams and storms are colored with.
I’ve spent August, September October and winter thinking of you
Now I’ve got to take my chances and come out to see you

Instrumental:

Joni how do you remember me ?
First impressions said to me “well there’s something here”
Now you say there’s a man you’re attached to.
I can’t go kicking and claiming a part
of a life that has it’s own road to follow.
Just my love’s got to go to someone.
You’re the only one who’ll understand and
Since July you’re the one who’s been on my heart... and mind... and soul...
