Lori Rosolowsky: Music

Many popular songs deal with falling in love again.“Amsterdam” celebrates a rarer phenomenon—falling in love again with one’s spouse!

Standing in the lane between the bikes and tram,
I fell in love again in Amsterdam.
I reached to kiss you like the days of yore,
like when we met when I was twenty-four.

Strolling in the gardens of Keukenhof,
You just beamed in every photograph.
The brilliant tulips that we did see
Paled in comparison to you and me, oh.

Take me back to Amsterdam
We'll dodge the raindrops to see Rembrandt
And let me love you like in Amsterdam
I'll hold you close and you will hold my hand.

Sitting on a tour bus in a traffic jam,
I leaned against you in Amsterdam.
The bus went nowhere - I didn't care,
I could have sat all day with you right there.

Staring out our hotel on Beethovenstraat,
It was cold outside but I was not.
When I remember us in that place,
I cannot wipe the smile off my face, oh.

I'll hold you close and you wold hold my hand
In Amsterdam, Amsterdam.
