Sunny
by Bobby Hebb
Sunny, yesterday my life was filled with rain.
Sunny, you smiled at me and really eased the pain.

Oh, the dark days are done, and the bright days are here,
My sunny one shines so sincere,
Oh, Sunny one so true, I love you.

Sunny, thank you for the sunshine bouquet.
Sunny, thank you for the love you've brought my way.

You gave to me your all and all,
Now I feel ten feet tall,
Oh, Sunny one so true, I love you.

Sunny, thank you for the truth you've let me see.
Sunny, thank you for the facts from A to Z.

My life was torn like wind blown sand,
Then a rock was formed when we held hands.
Sunny one so true, I love you.

Sunny, thank you for that smile upon your face.
Sunny, thank you for that gleam that flows with grace.

You're my spark of nature's fire,
You're my sweet complete desire.
Sunny one so true, I love you.

From Letty with love

Forever Days

Who it may amaze
When the feeling plays
And the future stays
You can find forever days
There are so many ways
Through this maze
To the world that lays
In forever days

Forever nights
Forever dream
Forever lover
Forever smile
Soon to discover
Forever eyes that look upon
Forever days

I don't need no stormy weather
To hold this love together
Let me in let love begin
Don't take away no ho
One single forever day

Two hearts a blaze
In and out of phase
Through the haze
Of forever days

Forever nights
Forever dream
Forever lover
Forever smile
Soon to discover
Forever eyes that look upon
Forever days

I don't need no stormy weather
To hold this love together
Let me in let love begin
Don't take away no ho
One single forever day
Don't take away
One single, forever.... day

Yeah, I remember he wrote a lot of the songs recorded by the Fifth Dimension, very good songs.

"Would you like to fly in my beautiful balloon....."

Thanks, Hamburger, for a reminder of the poem about the dog which shat in the tucker-box.
I heard Barry Humphreys recite it once, and I had forgotten all about it. Mock-tragedy, very funny.

And I ain't never done no man no harm....

Extensive repairs required to the ship, in dry dock in Greenwich, London.

Good morning, WA2K fans and contributors. Another Monday, listeners.

Thanks to our edgar for the "Let me In" song, and Rex, your original was really lovely. Thank you, Maine.

Well, here is our McTag with more news from the ships at sea, (among other things.)

Here in my small studio, the skies are overcast, folks



Edgar Lee Masters - Rain In My Heart

There is a quiet in my heart
Like on who rests from days of pain.
Outside, the sparrows on the roof
Are chirping in the dripping rain.

Rain in my heart; rain on the roof;
And memory sleeps beneath the gray
And the windless sky and brings no
dreams
Of any well remembered day.

I would not have the heavens fair,
Nor golden clouds, nor breezes
mild,
But days like this, until my heart
To loss of you is reconciled.

I would not see you. Every hope
To know you as you were has
ranged.
I, who am altered, would not find
The face I loved so greatly changed.

Wishing a Happy 76th Birthday to Gene Hackman:




and a Good Day to all here.

Ah, there's our Raggedy with one fine actor, Gene Hackman. Thanks PA. Loved him in The Unforgiven. "....the duck of death...."

And speaking of avians, folks, here's another bird for our Canadian friends:





Hear the call of the ringneck loon
Hear the sound he will be home soon
Hear the cry in the afternoon
Ringneck loon, he knows best
He's a loon and he don't care less
Ringneck loon, away off shore
How could anybody ask for more

Hear the call of the ringneck loon
Hear the sound he will be home soon
Hear the cry in the afternoon

Ringneck loon, he can't rest
He's a loon and he don't care less
Ringneck loon around the bend
Been a loon since he don't know when

Hear the call of the ringneck loon

City life is what i see
City life is the life for me
Ringneck loon, he knows best
He's a loon and he don't care less

Hear the cry of the ringneck loon
Hear the sound he will be home soon
Hear the cry in the afternoon

Ringneck loon, you can't rest
You're a loonie and you don't care less
Ringneck loon my old friend
Been a loon since he don't know when

Hear the cry of the ringneck loon
Hear the sound he will be home soon
Hear the cry in the afternoon

Here's this morning's funny.! :wink:

Tame iguana floods apartment block

A pet iguana unwittingly turned on a tap while its owner was absent, flooding his apartment and damaging the ones below, police in the southwest German city of Stuttgart.

The reptile, a female nearly one metre (three feet) long, turned on the hot tap, apparently with a swipe of its tail. The water flowed for hours Saturday, trickling down as far as the basement of the building.

Police alerted by neighbours broke into the flat to find the iguana lying unmoved under a radiator, in a pool of water.

Love it, Reyn. Instead of the "night" that was the day of the iguana. <smile>

Tears of Rain

The rain is in my eyes
'Cause I know our love is gone
Forever ended today
When you gave our love away

You can't say I didn't try
But your love was just not there
And the pain has brought the storm
To hide the light you couldn't share

Now the clouds have filled our sky
There's thunder in my brain
When you said goodbye
You left me crying tears of rain

I'll be searching for the sun
To rise and shine it's light
To clear away the shadows
That were taken in the night

Now the clouds have filled our sky
There's thunder in my brain
When you said goodbye
You left me crying tears of rain

According to a well know pop song from the 1960s -

"Breaking Up Is Hard To Do" === but not according to the London Daily Telegraph --


Museum visitor destroys priceless vases
By Tim Hall
(Filed: 30/01/2006)

A museum director's nightmare came true when a visitor tripped on his shoelace, stumbled down a stairway and destroyed a set of priceless 300-year-old Chinese vases.



The three vases, dating from the late 17th or early 18th century, had stood on a windowsill at the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge for at least 40 years. Their prominent position made them among its best-known artifacts.

The museum refused to name the visitor, who was unhurt.

Steve Baxter, another visitor, who saw the accident, said: "We watched the man fall as if in slow motion. He landed in the middle of the vases and they splintered into a million pieces.

"He was still sitting there stunned when staff appeared. Everyone stood around in silence, as if in shock. Then the man started talking. He kept pointing to his shoelace and saying, 'There it is; that's the culprit.' "

Duncan Robinson, the director of the museum, said: "It is a nightmare you are always afraid of in a museum. I have been here for 40 years and now that nightmare has happened." The vases, from the Qing dynasty, were donated to the museum in 1948.

Margaret Greeves, the assistant director, said: They are in very, very small pieces but we are determined to put them back together."

C'est la vie mes amis.

Lir: I've had time to write a book
About the way you act and look
But I haven't got a paragraph
Words are always getting in my way
Anyway, I love you
That's all I have to tell you
That's all I've got to say

And now, I'd like to make a speech
About the love that touches each
But stumbling, I would make you laugh
I feel as though my tongue were made of clay
Anyway, I love you
That's all I have to tell you

I'm not a man of poetry
Music isn't one with me
It runs from me
It runs from me
(duet)
Lir: and I tried to write a symphony
Amalthea: once when I was searching
Lir: but I lost the melody
Amalthea: somewhere out of reach
Lir: alas I only finished half
Amalthea: far away
Lir: and finish I suppose I never may
Amalthea: in a place I could not find
Lir: anyway, I love you
Amalthea: or heart obey
Lir: that's all I have to tell you
Amalthea: now that I'm a woman
Lir: that's all I've got to say
Amalthea: now I know the way
Lir: that's all I've got to say
Amalthea: now I know the way
Together: that's all I've got to say

One simple answer from our dys. You are right, oh cowboy of personal integrity. <smile>

Ah, Rex, you are indeed an original, Maine. Lovely, creations. Thank you from our listeners and from me.

The Last Unicorn! Well, I had no idea that Jimmy of the Webb wrote that one. Was that Tom Cruise's first movie? Thank God he redeemed himself with "Collateral". <smile>

My word, London, that is funny but tragic. Was that your idea to weave "Breaking up is Hard to Do" into that news item?

While driving back from my favorite one stop shop place, I heard music that went from the simple to the sublime. It was "life me higher" full complement orchestra music, with a variation on a theme of a nursery rhyme. Absolutely enthralling, listeners.

How about some "liftin' lyrics" from Jackie Wilson:

Jackie Wilson - Your Love Keeps Lifting Me Higher and Higher Lyrics


Your love, liftin' me higher
Than I've ever been lifted before
So keep it up, quench my desire
And I'll be at your side forevermore

You know your love (your love keeps liftin' me)
Keeps on liftin' (your love keeps liftin' me)
Higher (liftin' me, liftin' me), higher, and higher (higher)
I said your love (your love keeps liftin' me)
Keeps on (liftin' me, liftin' me)
Liftin' me (liftin' me) higher and higher (higher)

Now once I was downhearted
Disappointment was my closest friend
But then you came and he soon departed
And you know he never showed his face again

That's why your love (your love keeps liftin' me)
Keeps on liftin' (your love keeps liftin' me)
Higher (liftin' me, liftin' me), higher, and higher (higher)
I said your love (your love keeps liftin' me)
Keeps on (liftin' me, liftin' me)
Liftin' me (liftin' me) higher and higher (higher)
Awww

I'm so glad I finally found you
Yes, that one in a million girls
And I wish my lovin' arms around ya
Honey, I can stand up and face the world

Let me tell ya your love (your love keeps liftin' me)
Keeps on liftin' (your love keeps liftin' me)
Higher (liftin' me, liftin' me), higher, and higher (higher)
I said your love (your love keeps liftin' me)
Keeps on (liftin' me, liftin' me)
Liftin' me (liftin' me) higher and higher (higher)

I never tire of Rita Coolidge singing that song... Letty Thx

It is such an ear friendly song...
