a ship sailing without end...

There Will Always Be A You

sung by Donna Summer

lyric/music by Donna Summer

Like the stars that shine above
in a warn and wind tossed love
just like tears that fall forever

Like the raven and the dove
looking for a perfect love
after rainy, stormy weather
I am yours and you are mine
till the stars fall from my eyes
there will always be a you

A ship sailing without end
a lost, tired, worm down friend
and old broken run down shoe
I keep running back for more,
at least you thought I would be sure
but I gave up, I broke it's true
still there will always be a you

Don't ask me how
I tried so long
and in my heart I know
I will never go away
if you wanted me to stay
well in a million years
I wouldn't go

Cause I love you so
yes I do
I love you so
I could never leave you
I love you
don't go away
don't go away
there will always be a you

A ship sailing without end
a lost tired, worm down friend
and old broken run down shore
I keep running back for more
at least you thought I would be sure
but I give up, I broke it's true
still there will always be a you

I am yours and you are mine
till the stars fall from my eyes
there will always be a you

I will never go away
if you wanted me to stay
well in a million years
I wouldn't go
cause I love you so
yes I do
I love you so
I could never leave you
I love you
I love you
don't go away
can't go away
there will always be a you

At night I cry
can't find a reason
I'm left alone
can't seem to understand
at night I cry
can't find a reason
I'm left alone
can't seem to understand
there will always be a you
there will always be a you

Wow! sometimes things just happen that take you by complete surprise. going to Andy Towle's site and seeing that Donna Summer died just did that for me. i really was shocked. 

i remember so many happy times, sad times, and fun that i had because of her music. you might say that she really was an icon for a generation. more than that she was a tremendous talent. though probably known more for his disco, her ballads, soul, & jazz show her range as a wonderful singer.

i can only think to post what is my favorite of all her songs - "There Will Always Be A You" - it has very personal meaning to me but also says that we have her talent to keep.

remember what the doormouse said...

White Rabbit

Jefferson Airplane

Live at Woodstock

One pill makes you larger
And one pill makes you small
And the ones that mother gives you
Don't do anything at all
Go ask Alice
When she's ten feet tall
And if you go chasing rabbits
And you know you're going to fall
Tell 'em a hookah smoking caterpillar
Has given you the call
Call Alice
When she was just small

When men on the chessboard
Get up and tell you where to go
And you've just had some kind of mushroom
And your mind is moving slow
Go ask Alice
I think she'll know

When logic and proportion
Have fallen sloppy dead
And the White Knight is talking backwards
And the Red Queen's "off with her head!"
Remember what the doormouse said;
"Feed YOUR HEAD...
Feed your head"

who knows where the time goes...

Happy Birthday, Judy! all the way from the old Gate of Horn to today, you have changed my life in so many ways...

Who Knows Where the Time Goes

Judy Collins

written by Sandy Denny

Across the morning sky,
All the bird are leaving,
Ah, how can they know it's time for them to go?
Before the winter fire,
We'll still be dreaming.
I do not count the time

Who knows where the time goes?
Who knows where the time goes?

Sad deserted shore,
Your fickle friends are leaving,
Ah, but then you know it's time for them to go,
But I will still be here,
I have no thought of leaving.
I do not count the time

Who knows where the time goes?
Who knows where the time goes?

And I'm not alone,
While my love is near me,
And I know,it will be so,till it's time to go,
So come the storms of winter,
And then the birds in spring again.
I do not fear the time

Who knows how my love grows?
Who knows where the time goes?

La la la la la la
Um um um um
Du du du du du
Ah ah ah ah ah
Um um um um

waiting home for you...

Love with All the Trimmings

Barbra Streisand

On a Clear Day You Can See Forever

My dearest love who existed in a dream
Till this evening when a wave came and swept me out to sea
None of the loves that you have known
Could prepare you for the love raging everywhere in me
For all the arms that have covered you the hands

That have touched you and the lips
You have lingered on before
Added together would be less than an olive
In the banquet of love I have in store
Love season to entice
Love with all the trimmings filled with spice
Love flavored to your whim
Served piping hot with all the trimmings...Ooo...
For I’ll decode every breath and every sigh
Till your every lover's wish
Is fulfilled before it's made
Toss in some jealousy and doubt
Should it be required
Not to rest till there's nothing more desired
Thus loving as I do
Never, never will you ever be untrue
Having love with all the trimmings
Waiting home for you...
