Dangling conversation

It's a still life water color,
Of a now late afternoon,
As the sun shines through the curtained lace
And shadows wash the room
.And we sit and drink our coffee
Couched in our indifference,
Like shells upon the shoreY
ou can hear the ocean roar
In The Dangling Conversation
And the superficial sighs,
The borders of our lives.

And you read your Emily Dickinson,
And I my Robert Frost,
And we note our place with bookmarkers
That measure what we've lost.
Like a poem poorly written
We are verses out of rhythm,
Couplets out of rhyme,
In syncopated time
And The Dangling Conversation
And the superficial sighs
Are the borders of our lives.

Yes we speak of things that matter,
With words that must be said,
"Can analysis be worthwhile?"
"Is the theater really dead?"
And how the room is softly faded
And I only kiss your shadow,
I cannot feel your hand,
You're a stranger now unto me
Lost in The Dangling Conversation
And the superficial sighs
In the borders of our lives


The dangling conversation
Simon & Garfunkel

Still I'm sad

(....)
For myself my tears just fall into dust,
Day will dry them, night will find they are lost.
Now I find the wind is blowing time into my heart,
Let the rain fall, for we are apart.
Still I'm sad,Still I'm sad


Still I'm sad

My heart cries for you

(...)
An unimportant quarrel was what we had
We have to learn to live with the good and bad
Together we were happy, apart we're sad
This loneliness is driving me mad
My heart cries for you
Sighs for you,
dies for you
And my arms long for you
Please come back to me
(...)


My heart cries for you
Guy Mitchell
1950

Esperança....

No tears, no fears,
remember there's always tomorrow
So what if we have to part,
we'll be together again

Your kiss, your smile, are memories
I'll treasure forever
So try thinking with your heart,
we'll be together again

Times when I know you'll be lonesome,
times when I know you'll be sad
Don't let temptation surround you,
don't let the blues make you bad

Someday, someway,
we both have a lifetime before us
For parting is not good-bye,
we'll be together again


We'll be together again
Frankie Laine
1947

Mr. Lonely

Lonely, I'm Mr. Lonely,
I have nobody for my own.
I'm so lonely, I'm Mr. Lonely,
wish I had someone to call on the phone.

I'm a soldier, a lonely soldier,
Away from home
through no wish of my own.
That's why I'm lonely,
I'm Mr. Lonely,I wish that I could go back home.

Letters, never a letter,
I get no letters in the mail.
I've been forgotten, yeah, forgotten,
Oh how I wonder how is it I failed.


Mr. Lonely

Always something there to remind me

I walk along the city streets you used to walk along with me,
And every step I take recalls how much in love we used to be.
Oh, how can I forget you?
When there is always something there to remind me
Always something there to remind me
I was born to love you, and I will never be free
You'll always be a part of me,
(...)


Always something there to remind me

It might as well rain until September

What shall I write?
What can I say?
How can I tell you how much I miss you?
The weather here has been as nice as it can be
Although it doesn't really matter much to me
For all the fun I'll have while you're so far away
It might as well rain until September

I don't need sunny skies for thing I have to do
'Cause I stay home the whole day long and think of you
As far as I'm concerned each day's a rainy day
So It might as well rain until September

My friends look forward to their picnics on the beach
Yes everybody loves the summertime
But you know darling while your arms are out of reach
The summer isn't any friend of mine

It doesn't matter whether skies are grey or blue
It's raining in my heart 'cause I can't be with you
I'm only living for the day you're home to stay
So It might as well rain until September


It might as well rain until September
Carole King
1962

Pensa nisso....

There in your eyes I see
That you want to be free
There by your side I'll be
If you still want me.
Please think about it.
I need your love
I'm no good without it.
(...)
I'll be good to you
That's all I want to do
(...)
I'll be good to you
That's all I want to do.
So if you have to go
I won't stand in your way
But if you decide to stay
I will be your guy
(....)


Please think about it

Constantly

All day I'm walking in a dream
I think about you constantly
Just like an ever flowing stream
Your memory haunts me constantly
Shadows fall and I try to drive you from my mind
So youre no longer near to me
But my heart sees you there with me
Every sunset you share with me
The rain that patterns throu the tree
reminds me of you constantly
Your name is whispered by the breeze and love birds
Bring your song to me
Just as same as each star keeps burningIn the sky
your flame will stay a flame in me
A flame that burns so bright
Not only throu the night
But constantly
Thro we may be_apart
Youre constantly deep in my heart


Constantly
Cliff Richard

I can't stop loving you

(....)
Those happy hours that we once knew
Tho' long ago, they still make me blue
They say that time heals a broken heart
But time has stood still since we've been apart
(...)
I can't stop loving you
(...)
So I'll just live my life in dreams of yesterday


I can't stop loving you
Ray Charles

Rhytm of the rain

Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain
Telling me just what a fool I've been
(...)
The only girl I care about has gone away
Looking for a brand new start
But little does she know
That when she left that day
Along with her she took my heart
(...)
I can't love another when my hearts somewhere far away
(...)
Rain won't you tell her that I love her so
Please ask the sun to set her heart aglow
Rain in her heart and let the love we knew start to grow


Rhytm of the rain
The Cascades
