I've been thinking about Joey and music. Two of her favorite songs are "Annie's Song," sung by John Denver, and "Memory" from the musical Cats, sung by Betty Buckley. Should you ever listen to these, please remember her. Here are the lyrics to another song that I don't believe she knew but that I will associate with her forever (it is "Nightingale," sung by Leonard Cohen, lyrics copied from MetroLyrics.com):
I built my house beside the wood
So I could hear you singing
And it was sweet and it was good
And love was all beginning
Fare thee well my nightingale
'Twas long ago I found you
Now all your songs of beauty fail
The forest closes 'round you
The sun goes down behind a veil
'Tis now that you would call me
So rest in peace my nightingale
Beneath your branch of holly
Fare thee well my nightingale
I lived but to be near you
Tho' you are singing somewhere still
I can no longer hear you
