Misheard Lyrics

Thee are always those lyrics you mishear that are funny. For example, I thought it was "Wanting You" not "Waterloo" for decades. But then, yesterday, I was listening to a song I loved for years and found I had heard it wrong, and it massively changed the meaning.

Donna Sumer has a song on "Bad Girls", which I purchased in like 1980, called "There Will Always Be A You." It is a gorgeous love song about how she is in love with someone and will love him until the end of time. Until the stars fall from the skies, there will always be a you.

Turns out, in listening to the actual words again for the first time since the 1980s, I misheard the lyrics. And the change is big! it is until the stars fall from my eyes, there will always be a you.

Well, that is very different, isn't it?
