A partial soundtrack of my life

It was a dark mooded day,

everybody was grumpy,

and cheap,

and,

I was tired.

So, tonight before I turn in,

I thought I would share,

what I consider to be some,

beautiful words,

lyrics,

with some special girls,

you’ve heard of the ladies who lunch?

these are the girls who comment:-)

or don’t,

it’s a sharing thing.

My man Leonard Cohen,

I’m Your Man,

If you want a lover
I’ll do anything you ask me to
And if you want another kind of love
I’ll wear a mask for you
If you want a partner
Take my hand
Or if you want to strike me down in anger
Here I stand
I’m your man

The Beatles,

I’m thinking,

Lennon,

From,

In My Life,

There are places I remember
All my life though some have changed
Some forever not for better
Some have gone and some remain
All these places have their moments
With lovers and friends I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life I’ve loved them all

James Taylor,

Fire and Rain,

I’ve seen fire and I’ve seen rain
I’ve seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I’ve seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I’d see you again

Bruce Springsteen,

The River,

I come from down in the valley
where mister when you’re young
They bring you up to do like your daddy done
Me and Mary we met in high school
when she was just seventeen
We’d ride out of that valley down to where the fields were green

and,

Fire,

You had a hold on me, right from the start
A grip so tight I couldnt tear it apart
My nerves all jumpin actin like a fool
Well your kisses they burn but your heart stays cool

From Oh, What a Beautiful Morning,

There’s a bright golden haze on the meadow
There’s a bright golden haze on the meadow
The corn is as high as an elephant’s eye
And it looks like it’s climbing right up to the sky

Oh what a beautiful morning
Oh what a beautiful day
I’ve got a beautiful feeling
Everything’s going my way

Into My Arms,

Nick Cave,

I don’t believe in an interventionist God
But I know, darling, that you do
But if I did I would kneel down and ask Him
Not to intervene when it came to you
Not to touch a hair on your head
To leave you as you are
And if He felt He had to direct you
Then direct you into my arms
Into my arms, O Lord, into my arms
From,
I Second That Emotion,
Smokey Robinson,
Maybe you want to
give me kisses sweet
But only for one
night with no repeat
Maybe you’d go away
and never call
And a taste of honey is
worse than none at all
(oh little girl)

This Little Light Of Mine,

This little light of mine
I’m gonna let it shine
This little light of mine
I’m gonna let it shine
This little light of mine
I’m gonna let it shine
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine

Don’t Think Twice,

Bob Dylan,

It ain’t no use to sit and wonder why, babe
It don’t matter, anyhow
An’ it ain’t no use to sit and wonder why, babe
If you don’t know by now
When your rooster crows at the break of dawn
Look out your window and I’ll be gone
You’re the reason I’m trav’lin’ on
Don’t think twice, it’s all right

Just some of my soundtrack,

Now,

some people I forgot,

yesterday,

my favourites, musicians,

Coltrane, The Sax.

Billie Holliday, the voice, the pain.

Bob Dylan, the bohemian, the poet.

Later girls,

sleep tight,

BB
