Yesterday at Kroger, a song on the radio brought me to a halt. I stood by the ice cream frozen, thinking, waiting, straining to confirm the recollection. I knew I was finally on the verge of solving a 28-year-old mystery: the artist and title of a song I used to hear on the radio in our Chevrolet Astro Van as a five-year-old kid in 1988.

I noted the lyrics, did a search, and found it…

My hat’s off to Jane for making a melody that stuck with me nearly three decades, just long enough to grow up and find it again. A lovely reunion of words and music.

Mystery solved.
