                                                                                  JIMMY


thank you eddy, gee but time flies


                                                                           eddy

yep  thats  the  way  it  goes  when you are haveing  fun


                                                                            JIMMY


i know  eddy,  but if i had happy times back in the eighties, i sure had  my  sorrows as well


                                                                              eddy

you  never  forgot  about her jimmy? gee that  alie  girl  was some  beauty, a lot of guys  back then would  love to have  been in your  shoes,

                                                                            JIMMY

out  in that  floor there eddy, me  and  alie  used  to  dance  to  our fave  song from the  summer  of  eighty  three, as you did your bit of  djing for me


                                                                  (flash back to a young JIMMY  and alie  on the  dance floor)


                                                                  eddy


what  happened jimmy  that  ye  broke up? ye were like ye were born for each other, real soul mates


                                                                  JIMMY

that  is  the  question, ive  been  asking  my self  for over  22 years eddy, i just dont know why,

                                                                    eddy

were ye  long  together anyway jimmy
                                                                     JIMMY

for  the  summer  of  eighty  three, she used to help out spinning the records, but she had one fave song, and it brings tears to my eyes every time i hear it


                                                                         (flashback young JIMMY and alie)

                                                                 eddy

thats  the  way it goes  JIMMY,


                                                                     JIMMY

the  eighties  broke  my  heart  big time  eddy


                                                                    eddy

we  all  have  our  little  sorrows  JIMMY


                                                                    JIMMY

i had  a sheep dog  rover, a  few  months  old when  i met alie, he  and alie became great friends, she  got  a  lead for  him and  had  him walking  everywhere,

sadly about  a  month later rover died, both of us were heart broken, then when  i  was just about over the loss of rover,

alie  went  and  left  me, oh  god  i was so  heartbroken i could  have died, part of my heart was never the same, she had a special sacred place in my heart,

                                                                        eddy

hey jim why  do  you  think  she  left  you,hardly age difference, you were what late twenties,

                                                                       

ttwenty eight  eddy to the day when she left me, what a birthday, i dont know what i said or did not say  that made her change towards me?

one  day  her eyes were telling me she loved me, the next day, no it is too hutfull to even think about,
                                                                     eddy

you mean she was with you then just walked away from you without saying why?

                                                                      jim

that  is  what  i  mean  eddy, we were dancing here one night , you were spinning you said something comical over the mike about the legwarmers, that a lot of the girls includeing alli used to wear back then,

                                                                  eddy

                                             you  have  some  memory  jim.


                                                                   jim

for  good  reason  eddy, i laughed as did  a lot of other people, but not alli, she looked startled hurt, then pushed me away from her, telling me its over,

                                                                     eddy

oh  sweet jesus  dont tell me  i  was the cause of  ye  breaking up?

                                                                      jim

                                         dont  be  silly  man  no way were you,

                                                                   eddy

                                               did  you  try  and  get  back  with her?

                                                                    jim

did  i  what,  i moved heaven and  earth trying to get near to her but she did not want to be near me, so what could i  do,  but try and carry my cross, and it has been  a heavy cross

                                                                  eddy

             at least it proved that you cared for her, to have your heart so broken,

                                                                  jim


i  hope  you  dont  think  im  away with the  faries eddy when  i  tell  you this,

                                                                       eddy

                                                                eddy

                                                               jim

                             and then there she was in front of me with rover,

                                                                    eddy

                                                      this  another  dream jim?

                                                                    jim

                                                                       eddy

                                             come on jim you are haveing me on, arent you ?

                                                                         jim

                                                                         eddy

                                                                           alie 
                                                          oh jimmy i never stopped loveing you, and im so  sorry  for  all  the  sorrow  and  sufferings  you had  to go  through over me, but it had to be, jimmy you will understand  why later, come take my hand jimmy, your life is just about to begin,

                                                                  epilouge


                    alie  and  jimmy  (looking like he did back in the summer of eighty three) are dancing  to  the  sound  of the  eightys theme song,
