Jerry Butler - For Your Precious Love

Living on Love

They call it an earworm when a song gets stuck in your mind and you find yourself humming it thru out the day.  When the song " what the world needs now" came out in 1965 it was a time of love and war. The sixty's represent the assassination of John F Kennedy, Martin Luther King and the Vietnam war but I also think it was a change in the way people thought. Sometimes this change was reflected in the music of the era.

I can remember that time period as a young person. Laying across my bed, daydreaming and thinking how I could change the world and make it a better place.  Not much has changed on the world stage from that time period as we have had other wars and way to much violence.

I use to think if the people of the world thought the way I did  than we could live in a sort of Utopia  or a place of peace where everyone works for the common good. That is the part of growing up where you realize that everyone is not on the same page. It was the music group the Beatles that came out with the song " Some say I'm a dreamer but I am not the only one." I can relate to that song..we are not the only one.

I laughed to myself as I thought about the turmoil that surrounds us at times and the beauty of our place in it all. You can go ahead call me the " hopeless romantic or yes the dreamer" that believes you can live on love. Each day comes with a reminder , I reached for your hand and found your heart. What a gift life is and with our ability to share it in ways that places our heart and soul in its own sort of Utopia. In the playground of the mind and with the heart and soul we embrace with a simple form of love that makes all of life a better place.

In some ways I don' t think we grow older, we just take the eras of experience along with us. We are all the ages of that experience. I still see through the eyes of a  hopeful ten year old, the rebellion of a sixteen year old and through all the ages in which experience has engrained within us. Oh yeah that is what I have been told "we don't get older, we get wiser."

I dedicate this post to love and all the beauty that love brings to us. It is the smile that I wake up with and the dreams that I fall asleep to each night. Perfect in thought an embrace of love conquering all evil. I laughed at the image that came to mind , we need our very own super hero costumes. Bowing to my King,  your Queen awaits you. Like running through a field of flowers  and then laying down upon the green grass to find you bending down to give me a kiss. Oh yes sings, " what the world needs now is love , sweet love ,no not for some but for everyone." That is my visual at the moment as I allow the simplicity of such a love guide me in all that I am and all that I do.

1. Chorus]
   
   What the world needs now
   
   Is love, sweet love
   
   It's the only thing that there's just too little of
   
   What the world needs now
   
   Is love, sweet love
   
   No, not just for some, but for everyone

   Look, we don't need another mountain
   
   There are oceans and rivers
   
   Enough to cross, enough to last
   
   Until the end of time

   [Chorus]

   Lord we dont need another meadow
   
   There are corn fields and wheat fields enough to grow
   
   There are sun beams and moon beams enough to shine
   
   This I know, if you want to know

   [Chorus]

   What the world needs now
   
   Is love, sweet love
   
   What the world needs now
   
   Is love, sweet love
   
   What the world needs right about now
   
   What the world needs now
   
   Is love, sweet love
   
   What the world needs now
   
   Is love, sweet love

Ageless Entities of Love

In this existence
the essence of life 
ageless entities
of love bring their
own gift of life.

Living to love,
loving to live
both a blessing
that life gives.

Created in the heavens
sent down upon the earth,
love and happiness gives
our entities a worth.

Living to love 
loving to live
both a blessing
that life gives.

Treasures befitting 
of a king and queen
from the heart and soul
and everything in between.

Living to love,
loving to live
both a blessing
that life gives

Grasp the moment
forever will it be 
we found our place
in a place called eternity.

Whispers...I love you

I close my eyes
as night draws near
with kisses of love
to show I care.

Your presence amazing
within your arms I sleep
if only from my mind
with the sweetest memories.

Souls that have connected
united by the purest love,
with no heavens us and
no hell below.

The heart no longer racing
slows in a state of calm
as I embrace the love
as if written in psalm.

Nothing between us,
the distance simply fades
for you are always with me
our " forever and a day"

~

Time unites souls 

in time of need. 

I gazed up at the stars and
we were sweet sixteen,
time had stood still for
a moment of eternity.

Loving you is easy
as you are a part of me,
magical moments that
create the warmest
memories.

Dreams that bring
you so ever near,
touching my soul
I have nothing to
fear.

I see it in the darkness
it gives meaning to life,
as I send a kiss of happiness
and the return is twice as nice.


~






All that matters
is that I love you
and all that matters
is that you love me.

Sunshine under the
apple tree as another
day begins to bring
sweet happenings.

Blue skies
both night and day,
the happiness I feel
never fades.

All that matters
is that I love you
and all that matters
is that you love me.

New Day

I gazed up at the heavens,
the stars were so bright and
though the wind roared there
was a peace to the night.

I thought of the image
there in your arms and
the moment of magic
brought you from a far.

Pages unraveled
like yarn in the wind
and the past didn't matter
as a new day began.

Al Di La ( 1962 ) - CONNIE FRANCIS - Lyrics

Al di la means you are far above me, very far

Al di la, as distant as the lovely evening star

Where you walk flowers bloom

When you smile all the gloom turns to sunshine

And my heart opens wide

When you're gone

Al di la, I wondered as I drifted where you were

Al di la, the fog around me lifted, there you were

In the kiss that I gave was the love I had saved for a lifetime

Then I knew all of you was completely mine.



Non credevo possibile,

Se potessero dire queste parole:



Al di lá del bene più prezioso, ci sei tu.

Al di lá del sogno più ambizioso, ci sei tu.

Al di lá delle cose più belle.

Al di lá delle stelle, ci sei tu.

Al di lá, ci sei tu per me, per me, soltanto per me.



Al di lá del mare più profondo, ci sei tu.

Al di lá de i limiti del mondo, ci sei tu.

Al di lá della volta infinita, al di la della vita.

Ci sei tu, al di la, ci sei tu per me.

La la la la la...

La la la...

(Ci sei tu...)

(Ci sei tu...)

Tenderness

Sweet fragrance
of roses red,
tossed gently
on the bed.

One moment
no surprise,
when dreams
bring you to
myside.

Night sky
moon bright,
beams creating
an evening light.

Distance disappears
when we stop to share,
heart and soul in our
forever hold.

Sweet fragrance
of roses red
tossed gently
on the bed.

~
Each day a poem
written for two
and a story untold
of the love I have
for you.

Incredible emotions,
magically divine
as I close my  eyes
and hold you by my
side.

Songs that fill the air,
released from the heart,
to the music of the soul
played upon the stars.

Take my hand and
dance the night with me,
feel the tenderness
that others only dream.

Only For You

I wrote the words
and deleted them to,
words of love
meant only for you.

The page was full,
I welcomed you home,
you're never lost
and never alone.

I wrote the words 

and deleted them to, 

words of love 

meant only for you. 

From morning to night

I want to convey,

that you are in my heart

and never far away.

I wrote the words 

and deleted them to, 

words of love 

meant only for you. 

Sweet combination 

the words rearranged,

represent what's in 

my heart each day.

I wrote the words 

and deleted them to, 

words of love 

meant only for you. 

Like a script from the heavens,

the messaged conveyed,

word for word a beautiful

sentiment displayed. 

I wrote the words 

and deleted them to, 

words of love 

meant only for you. 

From my heart to yours,

the whispers of sweet,

a reminder of love and

two souls complete.

I wrote the words 

and deleted them to, 

words of love 

meant only for you. 



Hum a song or two with
whispers of love only for you,
brings a smile to my face
as my heart begins to race.

La. la, la that is what I say, 
how much love can one heart convey?

 Hum a song or two with

whispers of love only for you,

brings a smile to my face

as my heart begins to race.

~

With the sharing of heart

I can only say how happy 

you make me day after day. 

Living and loving 

two souls as one, 

when I opened my heart 

and a new day had begun. 

~

Storms are heading 

the wind doth blow

the trees arched 

for winters last show. 

I gazed up at the clouds

as they were passing by 

knowing quite well 

that the sun is behind.

I took the time 

and thought of you 

and out of the heavens

the skies turned blue.

The treasure 

lay in heart not mind

as I welcome the gift

we call time.

Precious the moment, 

powerful the desire

with gratitude of 

each passing hour.

Living and loving 

that's what we do, 

I'm in your arms 

the whole night thru.
