As we get frightfully close to Valentine’s Day, I would like to share with you some amazingly romantic and thought provoking lyrics from one of my current favourite songs, “Elenore” by The Turtles.
Elenore, gee I think you’re swell
And you really do me well
You’re my pride and joy, et cetera
Yes, the “et cetera” is actually included in the song as a lyric. I love you so much I will leave you to your own devices to come up with appropriate terms of endearment for yourself because I can’t be bothered! Apparently the lyric was included as a joke, but it’s still amazing anyway.
This song is one of the reasons I earnestly wished that my name was Elenore when I was growing up.
