“And I’d give up forever to touch you 

Cause I know that you feel me somehow 
You’re the closest to heaven that I’ll ever be 
And I don’t want to go home right now

And all I can taste is this moment 
And all I can breathe is your life 
Cause sooner or later it’s over 
I just don’t want to miss you tonight 
Chorus

And I don’t want the world to see me 
Cause I don’t think that they’d understand 
When everything’s made to be broken 
I just want you to know who I am

And you can’t fight the tears that ain’t coming 
Or the moment of truth in your lies 
When everything seems like the movies 
Yeah you bleed just to know your alive

Chorus

And I don’t want the world to see me 
Cause I don’t think that they’d understand 
When everything’s made to be broken 
I just want you to know who I am 
Chorus

I don’t want the world to see me 
Cause I don’t think that they’d understand 
When everything’s made to be broken 
I just want you to know who I am

I just want you to know who I am 
I just want you to know who I am 
I just want you to know who I am 
I just want you to know who I am “

This is one of my favorite songs. Well, I love Gershwin…period. When this song is sang by the right person , such as, Blossom Dearie, it flows so freely and it’s so easy to understand it’s meaning.                                   

“There’s a saying old, says that love is blind
Still we’re often told, “seek and ye shall find”
So I’m going to seek a certain lad I’ve had in mindLooking everywhere, haven’t found him yet

 He’s the big affair I cannot forget

Only man I ever think of with regretI’d like to add his initial to my monogram
Tell me, where is the shepherd for this lost lamb?   

There’s a somebody I’m longin’ to see
I hope that he, turns out to be
Someone who’ll watch over meI’m a little lamb who’s lost in the wood
I know I could, always be good
To one who’ll watch over meAlthough he may not be the man some
Girls think of as handsome
To my heart he carries the key 

Won’t you tell him please to put on some speed
Follow my lead, oh, how I need
Someone to watch over me

Won’t you tell him please to put on some speed
Follow my lead, oh, how I need
Someone to watch over me  

Someone to watch over me”

- Gershwin

Love these guys…  Pretty powerful song with a lot  of meaning.  Take the time to listen and really listen…

“God bless us everyone
We’re a broken people living under a loaded gun
And it can’t be outfought
It can’t be outdone
It can’t be outmatched
It can’t be outrun

No

God bless us everyone
We’re a broken people living under a loaded gun
And it can’t be outfought
It can’t be outdone

It can’t be outmatched
It can’t be outrun
No

And when I close my eyes tonight

To symphonies of blinding light
(God bless everyone 
We’re a broken people living under a loaded gun)
Like memories in cold decay
Transmissions echoing away

Far from the world of you and I

Where oceans bleed into the sky

God save us everyone
Will we burn inside the fires of a thousand suns
For the sins of our hands
The sins of our tongue

The sins of our fathers

The sins of our young

No

God save us everyone
Will we burn inside the fires of a thousand suns
For the sins of our hands
The sins of our tongue
The sins of our fathers
The sins of our young
No

And when I close my eyes tonight
To symphonies of blinding light

(God save us everyone
Will be burn inside the fires of a thousand suns)

Like memories in cold decay
Transmissions echoing away
Far from the world of you and I
Where oceans bleed into the sky

Like memories in cold decay

Transmissions echoing away
Far from the world of you and I
Where oceans bleed into the sky

Lift me up
Let me go
16x

God bless us everyone
We’re a broken people living under a loaded gun
And it can’t be outfought
It can’t be outdone
It can’t be outmatched
It can’t be outrun

No

God bless us everyone

We’re a broken people living under a loaded gun

And it can’t be outfought
It can’t be outdone
It can’t be outmatched
It can’t be outrun”

“One” is a dream, “world peace” is a dream…Will we ever see that day?  We all have free will and rather we like it or not, there are still haters among us.  Those who hate for no apparent reason at all.  I believe, like the Dalai Lama, that “…kindness is always an option,” but a lot of people do not believe this.  I don’t want to live each day barreling through and neglecting to say “hello”, “good morning”, “thank you”…  There are alot of souls that we come in contact with on a daily basis that we never give the time of day.  Some, we’ll see again and some, we won’t, but why does that even begin to matter?  Anyway…I said all of this to say that Lennnon made a very bold statement.  I like his heart and I hope that one day we will all: live for today, live life in peace, share all the world, live as one.  

Imagine there’s no Heaven 
It’s easy if you try 
No hell below us 
Above us only sky 
Imagine all the people 
Living for today 

Imagine there’s no countries 
It isn’t hard to do 
Nothing to kill or die for 
And no religion too 
Imagine all the people 
Living life in peace 

You may say that I’m a dreamer 
But I’m not the only one 
I hope someday you’ll join us 
And the world will be as one 

Imagine no possessions 
I wonder if you can 
No need for greed or hunger 
A brotherhood of man 
Imagine all the people 
Sharing all the world 

You may say that I’m a dreamer 
But I’m not the only one 

I hope someday you’ll join us 
And the world will live as one 

John Lennon
