What is Playing in Your Head?

When you say good-bye to someone, what runs through your head?

For me, it is a certain song. Any guesses?

Maybe...Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey, goodbye.

Or...Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane, Don't know when I'll be back again.

How about...You say goodbye, I say hello, Hello, Hello.

Nope, there is only one soundtrack that is usually running through my head. It's a classic. It's unforgettable. It's...

Almost always after telling someone goodbye, the song So Long, Farewell begins to play in my head. Usually it's the chorus...

So long, farewell

Auf Wiedersehen, goodnight

I hate to go and leave this pretty sight

or

So long, farewell

Auf Wiedersehen, adieu

Adieu, adieu

To you and you and you

Should I be worried? Seek counseling?

Later this week...guess what I saw when I was in Austria earlier this year?

Sincerely? Cordially? Affectionately?

When the Lord closes a door, somewhere He opens a window.

-Maria, Sound of Music, 1965
