Braided Hair - 1 Giant Leap

 

We've all got things that are hanging about

Things that make us cool,

Things that make us whack,

Things that make us mad

Things we wish we never had done

But they're just the things that make us real

Not the maps to guide where we go from here

The road twists and braids our hair

Until we all get there

I love this song and the lyrics as it is a happy song in days of old. I especially love it when sung by Judy Garland, who is one of my favorite all time singers.

 

Music: Irving Berlin

Lyrics: Irving Berlin

Book: Moss Hart

Premiere: Saturday, September 30, 1933

 

Never saw you look quite so pretty before

Never saw you dressed quite so lovely what's more

I could hardly wait to keep our date this lovely Easter morning

And my heart beat fast as I came through the door

For

 

In your Easter bonnet, with all the frills upon it

You'll be the grandest lady in the Easter parade

 

I'll be all in clover and when they look you over

I'll be the proudest fellow in the Easter parade

 

On the Avenue

Fifth Avenue

The photographers will snap us

And you'll find that you're

In the rotogravure

 

Oh, I could write a sonnet about your Easter bonnet

And of the girl I'm taking to the Easter parade

In this one of many possible worlds, all for the best, or some bizarre test?

It is what it is - and whatever

Time is still the infinite jest

 

The arrow files when you dream, the hours tick away - the cells tick away

The Watchmaker keeps to his schemes

The hours tick away - they tick away

 

The measure of a life is a measure of love and respect

So hard to earn, so easily burned

In the fullness of time

A garden to nurture and protect

 

In the rise and the set of the sun

'Til the stars go spinning - spinning 'round the night

It is what it is - and forever

Each moment a memory in flight

 

The arrow flies while you breathe, the hours tick away - the cells tick away

The Watchmaker has time up his sleeve

The hours tick away - they tick away

 

The treasure of a life is a measure of love and respect

The way you live, the gifts that you give

In the fullness of time

Its the only return that you expect

 

The future disappears into memory

With only a moment between

Forever dwells in that moment

Hope is what remains to be seen

A Case of You ~ Joni Mitchell

 

Just before our love got lost you said

"I am as constant as a northern star"

And I said, "Constant in the darkness

Where's that at?

If you want me I'll be in the bar"

 

On the back of a cartoon coaster

In the blue TV screen light

I drew a map of Canada

Oh Canada

And I sketched your face on it twice

 

Oh you are in my blood like holy wine

Oh and you taste so bitter but you taste so sweet

Oh I could drink a case of you

I could drink a case of you darling

Still I'd be on my feet

I'd still be on my feet

 

Oh I am a lonely painter

I live in a box of paints

I'm frightened by the devil

And I'm drawn to those ones that ain't afraid

I remember that time that you told me, you said

"Love is touching souls"

Surely you touched mine

"Cause part of you pours out of me

In these lines from time to time

 

Oh you are in my blood like holy wine

And you taste so bitter but you taste so sweet

Oh I could drink a case of you

I could drink a case of you darling

Still I'd be on my feet

I'd still be on my feet

 

I met a woman

She had a mouth like yours

She knew your life

She knew your devils and your deeds

And she said

"Go to him, stay with him if you can

Oh but be prepared to bleed"

Oh but you are in my blood you're my holy wine

Oh and you taste so bitter but you taste so sweet

I could drink a case of you darling

Still I'd be on my feet

Still I'd be on my feet

I'd still be on my feet

This one of my favourite Paradise Lost songs. Written by Nicholas John Holmes and Gregory John Mackintosh.

 

There's something in the air that greets me

There's something in the air

I don't know where I belong

Or where does it go from here

 

See my dreams

They're not like anyone's, anyone's

 

There's something in your stare that greets me

There's something in your stare

That tells me where I belong

And where it all goes from here

 

I don't know where I belong

Or where it all goes from here

 

See my dreams

They're not like anyone's, anyone's

 

There's something in the air that greets me

There's something in the air

I don't know where I went wrong

Or where does it go from here

 

See my dreams

They're not like anyone's,anyone's

 

I also like Walking in my shoes, Dimitra.
