A nice reminiscence
hello ladies and gentlemen-
about three decades ago
i was in seoul south korea
with my dad
...
we went to this ski resort
outskirts of seoul
back in early 1990s
the name of the resort was
"bears' town"
...
i was a teenager back then
and in the resort
when my dad and i
was riding this motorized 'lift'
looking down
the beautiful winter scenery
a ski resort
and they got this
musical boom box in the ski resort
big speakers
and the music they played
was this music
...
i did not understand english back then
as i still was a high school student
memorizing english vocabulary
as i was riding bus
back and from school
reading korean-english dictionary
from a to z
i did indeed
...
so when i was alone with my dad
on the ski resort lift
i asked him
"Dad, what does this english lyric mean?"
...
my dad's reaction
he was a bit bothered
cuz
he got his economics phd in america
back in 1970s
he knew english
he heard of this song
so
his teenage son asking
what this romantic love song lyrics means
he hesitated to answer the question
...
but
out of pure parental love
he did answer my question
...
"son,
"it means
"i just called to say
"i love you."
...
