Summer of sixty-three
Bobby Vinton's number-one
Recall, "Blue Velvet."
*************************************************************
While Bobby Vinton wasn't the first person to sing "Blue Velvet," as a fifteen-year-old, the song touched my heart like no other. When the Blue Haiku Challenge was announced, "Blue Velvet" immediately came to mind.
You can find the lyrics online. Reading the words, brought back wonderful memories.

Standing Still
There are very few moments in life where time truly stands still. When your breath is taken from your chest and your body hangs weightless in that moment. Just long enough for it to stay with you from that day onwards. Deep in the red sands of the Australian Outback, I found that moment and clung to it forever.
