Wordsworth:
'So through the darkness and the cold we flew, And not a voice was idle: with din, Meanwhile the precipices rang aloud; The leafless trees and every crang Tinkled like iron; while the distant hills Into the tumult sent an alien sound Of Melancholy not unnoticed, while the stars Eastward were sparkling clear and in the west The orange sky of the evening died away...' Wordsworth is 1 of my fav writers |

I will always love you
When I'm with you, eternity is a step away, my love continues to grow, with each passing day. This treasure of love, I cherish within my soul, how much I love you, you'll never really know. You bring a joy to my heart, I've never felt before, with each touch of your heart, I love you more and more. Whenever we say goodbye, whenever we part, know I hold you dearly, deep inside my heart. So these seven words, I pray you hold true, "Forever and Always, I will Love You." "The moment we want to believe something, we suddenly see all the arguments for it, and become blind to the arguments against it."
"Reading made Don Quixote a gentleman, but believing what he read made him mad. " "You'll never have a quiet world till you knock the patriotism out of the human race. " George Bernard Shaw |

In Spirit
Though you don't live next door, though you're five states away, You're still here in my thoughts every week, every day. When events of the day cause this soul to despair, just the sound of your voice makes them easy to bear. When I don't have the luxury of feeling your soft touch or taking in your scent, which I appreciate so much, I need only look back at the times we have had to wonder if I've any right to be sad. You're truly a blessing. I want you to know that I care for you deeply, wherever I go. - Benjamin Heller - "The moment we want to believe something, we suddenly see all the arguments for it, and become blind to the arguments against it."

If I could catch a rainbow
I would do it just for you, And share with you its beauty On the days you're feeling blue If I could build a mountain You could call your very own, A place to find serenity, A place to be alone If I could take your troubles I would toss them in the sea, But all these things I'm finding Are impossible for me I cannot build a mountain, Or catch a rainbow fair, But let me be what I know best, A friend who's always there - Sydney Thacker - "The moment we want to believe something, we suddenly see all the arguments for it, and become blind to the arguments against it."

Sounds and sweet airs, that delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments Will hum about thine ears and sometimes voices That, if I then had walked after a long sleep, Will make me sleep again. The Tempest |

When you feel cold and warm at the same time,
when you read over the same line for the tenth time, when your heart and thoughts somehow appear to rhyme, and when a simple name conquers your whole mind, then you are in deep trouble my friend... you are in what they call, "love".

The Dolphins
This old world may never change The way it's been And all the ways of war Can't change it back again I've been searchin' For the dolphins in the sea And sometimes I wonder Do you ever think of me I'm not the one to tell this world How to get along I only know the peace will come When all hate is gone "The moment we want to believe something, we suddenly see all the arguments for it, and become blind to the arguments against it."

She is not fair to outward view
As many maidens be; Her loveliness I never knew Until she smiled on me. Oh! then I saw her eye was bright, A well of love, a spring of light. Hartley Coleridge He that would thrive, Must rise at five, He that hath thriven, May lie till seven. John Clarke I cannot sing the old songs That I sang long years ago For heart & voice would fail me And foolish tears would flow Claribel "The moment we want to believe something, we suddenly see all the arguments for it, and become blind to the arguments against it."

Imagine
John Lennon 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. 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 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. |

I had this song with me. It has been sung by some of the other singers too.
Nice lyrics by John Lennon (Beatles) QUOTE Imagine there’s no heaven. It’s easy if you try. No hell below us, Above us only sky. I don't imagine this, I believe in it "The moment we want to believe something, we suddenly see all the arguments for it, and become blind to the arguments against it."

I do know that it is a solo album. Thanks for the song. I don't know where it is in the maze of english & hindi songs in 3 laptops & a desktop. Thanks again Shivani

This is a lovely song sung by Amy Grant I Will Remember You (Lyrics) I will be walking one day Down a street far away And see a face in the crowd and smile Knowing how you made me laugh Hearing sweet echoes of you from the past I will remember you. Look into my eyes while you're near Tell me what's happening here See that I don't want to say, 'good-bye' Our love is frozen in time I'll be your champion and you will be mine I will remember you. Later on, When the nights not so tender Given time, Though it's hard to remember I will be holding I'll still be holding to you I will remember you. So many years come and gone And yet the memory is strong One word we never could learn Good-bye True love is frozen in time I'll be your champion and you will be mine I will remember you So please remember I will remember you I will remember you I will remember you I will remember you "The moment we want to believe something, we suddenly see all the arguments for it, and become blind to the arguments against it."

mmmm .. while we are at topic of lovely songs.. I cannot help but think of these two from Alan PArson Project. Really amazing songs.
OLD AND WISE As far as my eyes can see There are shadows approaching me And to those I left behind I wanted you to know You've always shared my deepest thoughts You follow where I go And oh when I'm old and wise Bitter words mean little to me Autumn winds will blow right through me And someday in the mist of time When they ask me if I knew you I'd smile and say you were a friend of mine And the sadness would be lifted from my eyes Oh when I'm old and wise As far as my eyes can see There are shadows surrounding me And to those I leave behind I want you all to know You've always shared my darkest hours I'll miss you when I go And oh when I'm old and wise Heavy words that tossed and blew me Like autumn winds will blow right through me And someday in the mist of time When they ask you if you knew me Remember that you were a friend of mine As the final curtain falls before my eyes Oh when I'm old and wise As far as my eyes can see And this one is just amazing with lovely music Eye In The Sky (Lead vocal - Eric Woolfson) Don't think sorry's easily said Don't try turning tables instead You've taken lots of Chances before But I'm not gonna give anymore Don't ask me That's how it goes Cause part of me knows what you're thinkin' Don't say words you're gonna regret Don't let the fire rush to your head I've heard the accusation before And I ain't gonna take any more Believe me The sun in your Eyes Made some of the lies worth believing Chorus: I am the eye in the sky Looking at you I can read your mind I am the maker of rules Dealing with fools I can cheat you blind And I don't need to see any more To know that I can read your mind, I can read your mind Don't leave false illusions behind Don't Cry cause I ain't chnaging my mind So find another fool like before Cause I ain't gonna live anymore believing Some of the lies while all of the Signs are deceiving |
