The Ups and Downs of Della Jane
by, Della Jane Moore
Dedications:
- For my brother.
- In remembrance of my daddy.
- To my aunt Tammy.
"Sugar Pie Honey Bunch" - The Four Tops
It's the earliest song that I can remember loving and singing along with my older brother Justin. I think of him not really in the sense of what the song is trying to say, but because we both LOVED it as children and used to sing it together ALL. THE. TIME.
