Just a little LOVE SONG...
Leaves from the diary of a single dad ^ | Aug. 8 2003 | Carlo3b, a FReeper lover.

Just a little LOVE SONG...

It comes at a time when everyone needs a breather in their complex lives, someone write a song that stirs the deepest emotion, from the recesses of their soul to the twinkle in their eyes.

Ares son of Zeus; god of prophecy, light, poetry, and music, may not have started it, but he at least recorded it, if only in mythology, music is emotion. Songs in general, and LOVE SONGS in particular, have answered our need to express our inner passion, yearning, and desires, into sounds and words.

Poetry, and verse do translate into feelings and conjure up strong desires, lust, and yearnings, but when blended with sound it seems to hit the desired note in all of us..

Share with us, if you would please, your idea of the true love song, and if I assure you I won't tell anyone, tell me how it worked on you.... fingers crossed, eyes squeezed shut, mouth covered... ;)

I am a "Broadway Theater Geek" and this is one of my favorite love songs, from my favorite musical, "Man of La Mancha."

Dulcinea

I have dreamed thee too long,
Never seen thee or touched thee, but known thee with all of my heart,
Half a prayer, half a song,
Thou has always been with me, though we have been always apart.

Dulcinea ... Dulcinea ...
I see heaven when I see thee, Dulcinea,
And thy name is like a prayer an angel whispers ...
Dulcinea ... Dulcinea!

If I reach out to thee,
Do not tremble and shrink from the touch of my hand on thy hair.
Let my fingers but see
Thou art warm and alive, and no phantom to fade in the air.

Dulcinea ... Dulcinea ...
I have sought thee, sung thee, dreamed thee, Dulcinea!
Now I've found thee, and the world shall know thy glory.
Dulcinea ... Dulcinea!

My Clinton-Crotch-Chomping-Calico-Kitty is named Dulcinea.

Stacy fell in love with a young sailor and went with him to Whidbey Island, foregoing a dance scholarship. For almost 4 years, they have been very happy. He's made three tours of the Middle East, and we are very proud of him.

He made the lyrics track wonderfully with the music, and the music on the tape puts this MIDI to shame.

Those are beautiful lyrics! What a sweet and touching thing to do for your girl. (sniff!)

(I lived in Oak Harbor, Whidbey Island when I was in first and second grade...)

Oh my, I love Tony Bennett. Thank you for reminding me of that. (Actually, I'm not Italian - I was just referring to the romantic nature of Italian men; people ask me if I'm Italian sometimes, though!)

Till the End Of Time
Perry Como
Words and Music by Buddy Kaye and Ted Mossman
Adapted from Chopin's "Polonaise in A-flat Major"

(#1 for 10 weeks in 1945-sold over 2 million copies)

Till the end of time, long as stars are in the blue
Long as there's a Spring of birds to sing I'll go on loving you
Till the end of time, long as roses bloom in May
My love for you will grow deeper with every passing day

Till the wells run dry and each mountain disappears
I'll be there for you to care for you through laughter and through tears
So take my heart in sweet surrender and tenderly say that I'm
The one you love and live for till the end of time

Till the wells run dry and each mountain disappears
I'll be there for you to care for you through laughter and through tears
So take my heart in sweet surrender and tenderly say that I'm
The one you love and live for till the end of time

And I Love You So- Perry Como

And I love you so,
the people ask me how.
How I've lived till now,
I tell then I don't know.
I guess they understand,
how lonely life has been.
But life began again,
the day you took my hand.

And yes, I know
how lonely life can be.
The shadows follow me
and the night won't set me free.
But I don't let
the evening get me down.
Now that you're around me.

And you love me too,
your thoughts are just for me.
You set my spirit free,
I'm happy that you do.
The book of life is brief,
and once a page is read.
All but love is dead,
that is my belief.

And yes, I know
how lonely life can be.
The shadows follow me
and the night won't set me free.
But I don't let
the evening get me down.
Now that you're around me.

I love Celine's music and Bocelli is Bocelli - together they are a gift

I have their album on almost every day, at home and in my car.. I am thinking of putting music on our website as an option (I hate website that play as soon as you log on, scare the Hell out of me.. LOL) with these and other great songs from across the music spectrum.

Can't Help Falling In Love - Elvis Presley

Wise men say only fools rush in 
But I can't help falling in love with you 
Shall I stay 
Would it be a sin 
If I can't help falling in love with you 

Like a river flows surely to the sea 
Darling so it goes 
Some things are meant to be 
Take my hand, take my whole life, too 
For I can't falling in love with you 

Like a river flows surely to the sea 
Darling so it goes 
Some things are meant to be 
Take my hand, take my whole life, too 
For I can't help falling in love with you 
For I can't help falling in love with you

A beautiful song, and a beautiful voice: I didn't realise that someone else had done it, besides Sting's original.

Thank you!

What a voice...you are so right. Have you ever heard Chris Isaac's "I don't Want To Fall In Love"? It also goes by another title, but my brain is addled at the moment.

At any rate, he has that same "earnestness" in his voice. I'll try to find you a link.
