Tonight, Tonight, Won't Be Just Any Night

Tonight the Planning Board will make a decision on the first phase of the Inner Arbor plan for Symphony Woods. In honor of this momentous occasion, I am reprinting this post from August 21, 2013.

Good Night Columbia

Came out of Clyde's to the full moon over the water.

 

 

I thought I caught a glimpse of Dennis on the way in. Like a scene from a hokey movie, I stopped and closed my eyes and looked again.

"Goodnight, Columbia."

Oh, oh, oh my what a day

Making my way

Around this town.

Oh, oh, oh walking the lakefront with eager feet. Who will I meet?

The light of the dream is shining its beam

It's like a phone call from yesterday

Oh, oh, oh pulling me closer to plans for a

Brighter New Day

Good night Columbia

Every day sees me lovin' ya

Every night near the People Tree

(All the trees sing a symphony.)

Columbia: Goodnight

And some day when the time is right

The world's gonna see what I see

Columbia set free!

Oh, oh, oh look at the lake

Nothing can break

The stillness now

Oh, oh a table at Clyde's and the best of friends

The night never ends.

The names on the bricks, the people who mix,

they say the dream is worth fighting for

So, oh, oh don't let it die

Cause Columbia's ready to fly

Good night Columbia

Now the Whole Foods is just a dream

Soon we'll wake to a place to thrive

We'll be walking, won't have to drive

Columbia: goodnight

And some day when the time is right

The world's gonna see what I see

Columbia set free!

I know every Village, each crazy street name

I know it's important when people came.

But the future is coming, no, it won't wait.

So someone accept it before it's too late.

So, oh, oh, give it a chance

The romance of making a dream come true

Oh, oh, oh something inside of you knows the song--

Just sing along.

Pioneers may say "no" but my heart says "lets go!"

It's like tomorrow is at the door

Oh,oh,oh this is the time

One moment, one meeting with fate.

Good night Columbia

Every day sees me lovin' ya

Every night near the People Tree

(All the trees sing a symphony.)

Columbia: Goodnight

And some day when the time is right

The world's gonna see what I see

Columbia set free!
