My Address

If you've been reading my blog for the last month or so, then you already know that I am moving soon. I've had to tell people or write down my new address several times this week, and I keep mixing it up with my current address or just forgetting it altogether. I am not a forgetful person, but when something like your address is ingrained in your brain, it's hard to relearn that! But I'm trying. In fact, this is what inspired me to write the song below, which is all about addresses.


Sheet Music: $1


There's a number, and a street, and a city, and a state,
And a zipcode, I give,
When my family or friends or a teacher needs to know
The place where I live.
You put 'em all together and what do you get?
My address, I won't forget.

My street number is ________
My street name is __________
My city is _________________
In the state of ____________
My zipcode has five numbers, it's ____________
You put 'em all together, and what do you get?
My address, I won't forget.

My address, I won't forget.

Or at least, I'll try not to anymore! A week from tomorrow, we'll be signing the papers that make the house officially ours, and by then I think I will have my new address down pat. In the meantime, I have a busy day ahead full of classes and planning. Have a happy Wednesday!
