While working, in my office, This song popped into my head and I was singing it. :smack: I was a little surprised and wondered where I had heard it. I still don’t know where, but I know it was a very long time ago. It made me laugh…so… You cant be unhappy when listening to this song.

I had a similar experience this weekend. All of a sudden the song “My Cup Runneth Over” pops into my head for no reason. Haven’t heard it in years and didn’t really remember the lyrics, just the chorus. But what makes it funny is when I was in 6th grade, my class sang it in a program for our parents! So this weekend when it popped into my head I thought what an odd song for 12-year-olds to sing. I told my husband and he said maybe it’s a religious song. There would have been no problem with that in the early 70s. So I googled it. “My cup runneth over” is part of a psalm. So it thought ok that makes sense. Then I googled the lyrics… I lie here beside you just watching you sleep And sometimes I whisper what I’m thinking of My cup runneth over with love So I’m back to thinking WTF was the teacher thinking!?
