Song of the Day 17

A song I like to sing as a duet (karaoke)

I can sing along to just about any song that I know the tune to even if I don’t know all the words. Singing is in my blood, I use to sing in the church choir with my mom when I was young. She had a beautiful alto voice and I was soprano. My singing ended back in 2009 when I had a mini stroke that affected my vocal cords and throat. I was only able to squeak instead of sing. For ten years I just about gave up on singing until last fall when my new ENT found a nodule on my vocal cord that was pushing the other side away and that was part of my singing problem. Since surgery I have been able to sing to a certain octave but now I’m more of a alto like my mom was. But either way I still enjoy singing when no one can hear me!

Today’s song prompt is a song I like to sing as a duet (karaoke) and as long as there is music playing in the background I find singing easier.

The song I’m singing as a duet today is I Got You Babe by Sonny and Cher. This song was written by Sonny Bono and  recorded by Sonny and Cher in August 1965. It was number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States for three weeks and sold more than 1 million copies making it certified Gold.

This is was recorded the year Rich and I met and it’s so much like the beginning of us being together.

This is one of the verses in the song. It is like our story, we were told we were too young and things wouldn’t work. Well 55 years later I’d say it worked out beautiful! They say we’re young and we don’t know
We won’t find out until we grow
Well I don’t know if all that’s true
‘Cause you got me, and baby I got you

I got flowers in the spring
I got you to wear my ring
And when I’m sad, you’re a clown
And if I get scared, you’re always around

Babe
I got you babe
I got you babe I got you…
