Hey, hbg. Here's one to match your shadow, Canada.

This version by Babs.

The shadow of your smile
When you are gone
Will color all my dreams
And light the dawn
Look into my eyes, my love, and see
All the lovely things you are to me
A wistful little star was far too high
A tear drop kissed your lips and so did I
Now that I remember spring
All the joy that love can bring
I will be remembering
The shadow of your smile
Now when I remember spring
All the love that joy can bring
I will be remembering
The shadow of your smile...

Well, hbg, I love your jubilant summertime ditty. There's a gentle rain here. (no violets have been seen, however)

How about a little Gershwin, folks, from Porgy and Bess.

Summertime
And the living is easy
Fish are jumping
The cotton is high
Oh your daddy's rich
Your mama's good looking
I said hush little baby
Don't you cry

One of these mornings
You're bound to rise up singing
Then you'll spread your wings
And take to the sky
But til that morning
Nothing's going to harm you no
With daddy and mama standing by

Summertime

A Stranger In Paradise
The Four Aces
[Words and Music by Robert Wright and George Forrest]

Take my hand
I'm a stranger in paradise
All lost in a wonderland
A stranger in paradise
If I stand starry-eyed
That's a danger in paradise
For mortals who stand beside an angel like you

I saw your face and I ascended
Out of the commonplace into the rare
Somewhere in space I hang suspended
Until I know there's a chance that you care

Won't you answer the fervent prayer
Of a stranger in paradise
Don't send me in dark despair
From all that I hunger for

But open your angel's arms
To the stranger in paradise
And tell him that he need be
A stranger no more

Take my hand

Note - The music of Russian composer Alexander Borodin
Inspired the 1953 Broadway musical, Kismet
Stranger in Paradise is based upon
The Polovetzian Dances
From the 1888 opera, Prince Igor

edgar, I love the songs from Kismet, and thanks for that added note, as I was searching for the Russian melody, Meadowland. I don't think it has lyrics, however.

and another from Kismet, folks.

Song: Night Of My Nights

Play on the cymbal, the timbal, the lyre;
Play with appropriate passion.
Fashion songs of delight and delicious desire
For the night of my nights.
Come where the so well beloved is waiting,
Where the rose and the jasmine mingle
While I tell her the moon is formating
And 'tis sin to be single!
Let peacocks and monkeys in purple adornings
Show her the way to my bridal chamber,
Then get you gone 'til the morn of my mornings
After the night of my nights!
'Tis the night of my nights!
'Tis the night of my nights!

Fly and shine over the sacred laws
erase all memories of a life with no justice
Where you have rode alone, leaving tears in our hearts
Tell me friend have you find your smile?
Your fatal enemy can't reach you again his anger... is lost in
the past!
Tell me what do you see beyond the other side?

... so in the night you've been dragged out from the world
leaving the hollow in our soul
and while I look the mirror in time...

Take my hand, break the time, return to dream back one more
night
Diamond Dust is fading in darkened stars
Take my hand, back in time, rise to dream back one more night
Diamond Dust's flying in the wind

Short's your way inside a virtual cell
snatch from your dream, snatch to shade of injustice
So you have found the end... a memory still live in our mind
Tell me friend which is the answer?
Maybe is just imagination to find... a sign of hope
hidden behind a silent Lord

... so in the night you've been dragged out from the world
leaving the hollow in our soul
and while I look the mirror in time...

Take my hand, break the time, return to dream back one more
night
Diamond Dust is fading in darkened stars
Take my hand, back in time, rise to dream back one more night
Diamond Dust's flying in the wind

A cruel trap for all but we'll believe... in a magic way to
heaven
The world is blind to see the shadow... who's waiting for the
end

and here is the end, a silent dark, it's only another lie
... a memory of a Diamond flies in the wind... his magic Dust...

Take my hand, break the time, return to dream back one more
night
Diamond Dust is fading in darkened stars
Take my hand, back in time, rise to dream back one more night
Diamond Dust's flying in the wind

Feeling a bit cynical tonight are we dys? Here's an answer for you.

Well I'll be damned
Here comes your ghost again
But that's not unusual
It's just that the moon is full
And you happened to call
And here I sit
Hand on the telephone
Hearing a voice I'd known
A couple of light years ago
Heading straight for a fall

As I remember your eyes
Were bluer than robin's eggs
My poetry was lousy you said
Where are you calling from?
A booth in the midwest
Ten years ago
I bought you some cufflinks
You brought me something
We both know what memories can bring
They bring diamonds and rust

Well you burst on the scene
Already a legend
The unwashed phenomenon
The original vagabond
You strayed into my arms
And there you stayed
Temporarily lost at sea
The Madonna was yours for free
Yes the girl on the half-shell
Would keep you unharmed

Now I see you standing
With brown leaves falling around
And snow in your hair
Now you're smiling out the window
Of that crummy hotel
Over Washington Square
Our breath comes out white clouds
Mingles and hangs in the air
Speaking strictly for me
We both could have died then and there

Now you're telling me
You're not nostalgic
Then give me another word for it
You who are so good with words
And at keeping things vague
Because I need some of that vagueness now
It's all come back too clearly
Yes I loved you dearly
And if you're offering me diamonds and rust
I've already paid

Time for me to say goodnight, folks

I'll close my eyes
To everyone but you
And when I do
I'll see you standing there

I'll lock my heart
To any other caress
I'll never say yes
To a new love affair

Then I'll close my eyes
To everything that's gay
If you are not there
Oh, to share each lovely day

And through the years
In those moments
When we're far apart
Don't you know I'll close my eyes
And I'll see you with my heart

From Letty with love

Baby, baby it looks like it's gonna hail
Baby, baby it looks like it's gonna hail
You better come inside
Let me teach you how to jive an' wail

CHORUS:
You gotta jump, jive, and then you wail
You gotta jump, jive, and then you wail
You gotta jump, jive, and then you wail
You gotta jump, jive, and then you wail
You gotta jump, jive, and then you wail away!

Papa's in the icebox lookin' for a can of ale
Papa's in the icebox lookin' for a can of ale
Mama's in the backyard
Learning how to jive an' wail

A woman is a woman and a man ain't nothin' but a male
A woman is a woman and a man ain't nothin' but a male
One good thing about him
He knows how to jive an' wail

Jack and Jill went up the hill to get a pail
Jack and Jill went up the hill to get a pail
Jill stayed up,
She wants to learn how to jive an' wail

Bird On A Wire
Leonard Cohen

Like a bird on the wire,
like a drunk in a midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free.
Like a worm on a hook,
like a knight from some old fashioned book
I have saved all my ribbons for thee.
If I, if I have been unkind,
I hope that you can just let it go by.
If I, if I have been untrue
I hope you know it was never to you.
Like a baby, stillborn,
like a beast with his horn
I have torn everyone who reached out for me.
But I swear by this song
and by all that I have done wrong
I will make it all up to thee.
I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch,
he said to me, "You must not ask for so much."
And a pretty woman leaning in her darkened door,
she cried to me, "Hey, why not ask for more?"
Oh like a bird on the wire,
like a drunk in a midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free.

Girls in Their Summer Dresses
Harry Belafonte

I remember summer morning
Dawning light and bright and gay
And the girls in their summer dresses
Walking, Walking on their way

I remember distant laughter
Afternoons of past Julys
And the girls in their summer dresses
With their secret smiling eyes

Tender arms so smooth and slender
Downy and brown from sunlit days
Wrapped in evening silvery splendor
Resting on tables in dim cafes

I remember midsummer night times
Midsummer night dreams I recall
But the girls in their summer dresses
I remember most of all

I remember sad September
Dying summers brave display
And one sweet girl in her summer dress
Who softly swiftly slipped away

Dear landlord,
Please don't put a price on my soul.
My burden is heavy,
My dreams are beyond control.
When that steamboat whistle blows,
I'm gonna give you all I got to give,
And I do hope you receive it well,
Dependin' on the way you feel that you live.

Dear landlord,
Please heed these words that I speak.
I know you've suffered much,
But in this you are not so unique.
All of us, at times, we might work too hard
To have it too fast and too much,
And anyone can fill his life up
With things he can see but he just cannot touch.

Dear landlord,
Please don't dismiss my case.
I'm not about to argue,
I'm not about to move to no other place.
Now, each of us has his own special gift
And you know this was meant to be true,
And if you don't underestimate me,
I won't underestimate you.

Good morning, WA2K listeners and contributors.

Well, folks, what a wonderful array of songs from Canada and Texas. Thanks, guys, for Louis, Leonard, and Bob.

Something out there smiled on me, because the news has been good, so I'm in a Browning mood this morning.

Song, from Pippa Passes

The year's at the spring,
And day's at the morn;
Morning's at seven;
The hill-side's dew-pearled;
The lark's on the wing;
The snail's on the thorn;
God's in his Heaven -
All's right with the world!

-- Robert Browning

Goodnight Sweetheart

Goodnight, sweetheart,
Well,it's time to go.
Goodnight, sweetheart.
Well, it's time to go.
I hate to leave you, but I really must say
Goodnight, sweetheart, goodnight.

Well it's three o'clock in the mornin'
Baby, I just can't get right.
Well, I hate to leave you, baby,
I don't mean maybe,
Because I love you so.

Goodnight, sweetheart,
Well, it's time to go.
Goodnight, sweetheart,
Well, it's time to go.
I hate to leave you, but I really must say
Goodnight, sweetheart, goodnight.

Mother, and, oh, your father
Won't like it if we stay out too late.
Well, I hate to leave you, baby,
Don't mean maybe,
You know I hate to go.

Goodnight, sweetheart,
Well, it's time to go.
Goodnight, sweetheart,
Well, it's time to go.
I hate to leave you, but I really must say -
Goodnight, sweetheart, goodnight.

Victor, welcome back, honey. I know that song, Maryland. It's by The Spaniels, right?

What in the world are you doing saying good night in the early morning?

A white ibis is fluttering its wings at my pond and there is actually condensation on the screen in my Florida room. I took a peek at my driver's license, and the picture looks rather decent. Razz

Soooooo

Katherine Forman:

Rose-Colored Glasses
A word and I am nine
fussing with the floral pinkness
in my hair and on my hand,
Jumping impatiently around while the
all-seeing video camera catches my
dreadfully juvenile behavior at such an occasion,
Gorging on the pink mints that are the one
pink thing not imprinted with "Happy Anniversary"
or "Happy Fiftieth Louis & Lucile,"
Fidgeting with the pinkly poufy plumes of the
pen for the guest book I'm supposed to be
manning (nine isn't old enough to say "personing"),
Crossing my eyes for a video I never saw
and now that its taker is gone I never will
(but how could I know?),
Adding my smile to the rosy overdose
as the camera captures my crooked grin,
my flat hair and too-small Garfield glasses,
Wishing I could go home and discard
the unnatural concoction of lace and polyester
and the itching elastic binding the dyed carnations
to my little-used writing hand--
A word, and I am nine
And silent with a flood of memory.
The silence perplexes him
As the remembrance hinders me.
