On that historic day, the first landing of a man on the moon, all of us children of the Boom Generation, we were watching TV with our parents and taking a look at the surprised and excited moon over what would have happened. On July 20, 1969, the three American Apollo 11 astronauts landed on the moon. A few hours later, mission commander Neil Armstrong laid his first human foot on lunar soil: "This is a small step for man, a giant leap for humanity." All this is a strong memory of my childhood, which I will take with me.

Blue Moon You saw me standing alone Without a dream in my heart Without a love of my own Blue Moon You knew just what I was there for You heard me saying a prayer for Someone I really could care for And then there suddenly appeared before me The only one my arms will hold I heard somebody whisper please adore me And when I looked to the Moon it turned to gold ...
