Πέρασμα


(Υ)



Αργά-αργά θα γείρω,
σαν μέρα που περνά.

Στην αγκαλιά σου θα χαθώ και θ' ανατείλω,
πρώτη φορά.

Οι ανάσες και τα χέρια,
τα λόγια, τα κορμιά,
οι αναστεναγμοί του κόσμου και τα γέλια,
τώρα θα γίνονται ξανά.

Γλιστράμε και περνούμε
κι αν μένει κάτι εδώ,
είναι το φως, που μας χαρίστηκε να δούμε,
μεσ' τη ζωή εσύ κι εγώ.

Τα χρόνια θα μας λιώσουν
κι αν μείνει κάτι εδώ,
θα 'ναι το φως, που είχαν οι μέρες πριν τελειώσουν,
μόνο το φως

I Miss You - Thomas Anders




Goin' to need your love
I like your dance
I belong to you
'cause I see your eyes
inside my life, nothing I can do
'cause I need your smile, my baby
sparkling in your eyes
if you really know
then just tell me so
baby please be mine.

I miss you
I want you to know
I miss you
my life has not much time
to erase you from my mind
and I miss you, remember
and I will not surrender
and kiss your tears goodbye.

I can tell you in your glance
I know, I belong to you
'cause I like to dream of you baby
what I'd like to do
If you'd like to be my baby.

I miss you
I want you to know
I miss you
my life has not much time
to erase you from my mind
and I miss you, remember
and I will not surrender
and kiss your tears goodbye.

Charlie Parker - All the things you are



«Τι κάνει ένας σαξοφωνίστας; 
Παίρνει μια γερή αναπνοή, μετά φυσάει μέσα στο όργανο και φτιάχνει μια φράση με την ανάσα του. 

Κι εγώ έτσι χωρίζω τις φράσεις μου: 
σαν να ήταν διαφορετικές αναπνοές του μυαλού», 
έλεγε ο Τζακ Κέρουακ.



Την εποχή που ο Τσάρλι Πάρκερ φυσούσε τις πιο γρήγορες νότες του στο άλτο σαξόφωνό του, αλλάζοντας για πάντα τον τρόπο σκέψης της μουσικής του αυτοσχεδιασμού, 
ο Κέρουακ, με την προτροπή του Ουίλιαμ Μπάροουζ και του Άλεν Γκίνσμπεργκ 
διατύπωνε «τη θεωρία της αναπνοής σαν μέτρο, στην πρόζα και τον στίχο».
Επινοούσε έτσι το «συντακτικό» αυτού που, ο ίδιος, ονόμασε «αυθόρμητη πρόζα». 


Ο Τσάρλι Πάρκερ δεν διατύπωσε ποτέ θεωρίες για τον αυτοσχεδιασμό... 
Δεν ταίριαζε στην ιδιοσυγκρασία του. 
Εκείνος και η παρέα του πήγαιναν αργά το βράδυ στο κλαμπ Μinton΄s Ρlayhouse στο Χάρλεμ και ούτε καν περνούσε από το μυαλό τους ότι παίζοντας με τον τρόπο που έπαιζαν έγραφαν το καινούργιο «επαναστατικό μανιφέστο» της τζαζ.

Ο Κέρουακ το ήξερε αυτό, 
ήξερε πώς γεννήθηκε αυτή η καινούργια μουσική και μάλιστα επιχείρησε να το αποτυπώσει: 

«Εκείνο το βράδυ ο Τελόνιους Μονκ έπαιξε μια φάλτσα νότα στο πιάνο, 
έριξε κάτι παράταιρο μέσα στις γλυκές νότες των άλλων, 
Μinton΄s Ρlayhaouse, 
βραδιές που ξεκινούν κατά τις δέκα το βράδυ και καταλήγουν σ΄ ένα ατέλειωτο jam. 
Μπαρ για έγχρωμους, κάτω από ένα ξενοδοχείο, ένας ή δύο λευκοί επισκέπτες, κάποιος από το Columbia, κάποιος άλλος από το πουθενά... 
Εκείνη τη μέρα ο Ντίζι ξαφνιάζεται για πρώτη φορά. 
Φέρνει την τρομπέτα στα χείλη του και βγάζει έναν υγρό ξεθωριασμένο ήχο. 
Το bebop είναι η γλώσσα της αμερικάνικης Αφρικής, η λέξη «going» ακούγεται «gong». 
Η Αφρική είναι η δόνηση της αναπνοής, το πόδι που χτυπάει στον ρυθμό... 
Κάνε ό,τι γουστάρεις, 
παίξε μια μελωδία, 
παράτα την και άρχισε να αυτοσχεδιάζεις» 

(Τζ. Κέρουακ 1959).

Ο θάνατος του παληκαριού ..


Ήτανε χινόπωρο π’ αντάμωσα

ώριο παλληκάρι και το λάβωσα
σε πολέμου μπόρα και κακή μαλιά
κι είχ’ η γης στρωσίδι κάμει με κορμιά
κι ήβγαιν’ απ’ τ’ αχείλι το βερτζί μιλιά
που μου μαχαιρώνει χρόνια την καρδιά

Θε μου σαν ποθάνω κάμε με δεντρό
και παρέκει βρύση με κρυγιό νερό
νά `ρχουνται οι έμορφες να λούζουνται
και στον ασκιανό μου να δροσίζουνται.




Να περάσει μιαν αυγή κι η αγαπώ
ξωτικό να κόψει και γλυκύ καρπό
κι ο καρπός να βγάλει όνειρου καημούς
να γεμίσει ο κόσμος αναστεναγμούς.




Και στη βρύση μαγικό νερό να βρει
του καημού να σβήσει το θαμπό κερί
να τη δω να φεύγει να μακραίνεται
δίχως αναμνήσεις να πικραίνεται

Μά `τανε θολούρα και απόβραδο
κι ο Θεός δεν είδε στο ματόκλαδο
πού `χε κρουσταλλιάσει ένα δάκρυ του
λύπηση γεμάτο απ’ την αγάπη του




Μα τον εσυμπόνεσ’ ένα νέφαλο
κόκκινο και τού `ριξε προσκέφαλο
μια βροχή που ξέπλυνε τη λύπηση
κι έμεινε η ρίμα και η θύμηση..


Στίχοι, μουσική  Δημ Αποστολάκης 



When I dream at night - Marc Anthony



I have been in love and been alone
I have traveled over many miles to find a home
There's that little place inside of me
That I never thought could take control of everything
But now I just spend all my time
With anyone who makes me feel the way she does
'cause I only feel alive when I dream at night
Even though she's not real it's all right
'cause I only feel alive when I dream at night
Every move that she makes holds my eyes
And I fall for her every time

I've so many things I want to say
I'll be ready when the perfect moment comes my way
I had never known what's right for me
'til the night she opened up my heart and set it free
But now I just spend all my time
With anyone who makes me feel the way she does

'cause I only feel alive when I dream at night
Even though she's not real it's all right
'cause I only feel alive when I dream at night
Every move that she makes holds my eyes
And I fall for her every time

Now I just spend all my time
With anyone who makes me feel the way she does

'cause I only feel alive(only feel alive)
when I dream at night(when you'r by my side)
Even though she's not real it's all right(that's alright baby that's all right)
'cause I only feel alive when I dream at night
Every move that she makes holds my eyes(holds my eyes)

When You Tell Me That You Love Me ( Diana Ross)





I wanna call the stars down from the sky
i wanna live a day that never dies
i wanna change the world only for you
all the impossible i wanna do.

I wanna hold you close under the rain
i wanna kiss your smile and feel the pain
i know what's beautiful looking at you
in a world of lies you are the truth.

And baby every time you touch me
i become a hero
i 'll make you safe
no matter where you are
and bring you everything you ask for
nothing is above me
i am shining like a kandle in the dark
when you tell me that you love me.

I wanna make you see
just what i was
show you the loneliness
and what it does
you walked into my life
to stop my fears
everything's easy now
i have you here

And baby every time you touch me
i become a hero
i 'll make you safe
no matter where you are
and bring you everything you ask for
nothing is above me
i am shining like a kandle in the dark
when you tell me that you love me.

In a world without you
i would always hunger
all i need is your love
to make me stronger.

And baby every time you touch me
i become a hero
i 'll make you safe
no matter where you are
and bring you everything you ask for
nothing is above me
i am shining like a kandle in the dark
when you tell me that you love me
when you tell me that you love me, you love me
when you tell me that you love me.

~ *Shadows*







Shadows of a thousand faces
keep on turning in your mind
Unforgotten names and places
Never really left behind
Is it your imagination
Seeking shelter from the rain
Or a long self conversation
once again

Shadows never point a finger
At the things you say or do
Silently they seem to linger
Anywhere you may run to
Sharing every joy or torment
Every laughter or despair
Facing you at any moment
If you dare

Gentle hearts that once surrendered
What you did´nt understand
Conquests of a night ended
Holding you with trembling hands
In a book a four leaf clover
Marks the day you said hello
Till she found that it was over
Long ago

Little things had lost their meaning
Leaving only emptiness
Tender words and simple feelings
Never eased your hungriness
Yesterdays remain so certain
And tomorrow´s round the bend
Can you read the line that darkness
On your hand
Both ends of a candle burning
Shine so brightly for a while
Wrinkles of a life reflecting
In your smile

Shadows never point a finger
All the things you say or do
Silently they seem to linger
Anywhere you may run to
Sharing every joy or torment
Every laughter or despair
Facing you at any moment

If you dare

Τα δίδυμα φεγγάρια

Έτσι για να πω πως σε κέρδισα
θα 'θελα μια φορά να σε πληγώσω
εσύ να μου ζητάς όσα σου στέρησα
και εγώ να μην μπορώ να σου τα δώσω

Ωραία που τα λες μα έλα που σε ξέρω
τα λόγια σου σαν μάγισσα τα ξόρκισα
και άσε τις απειλές πως δήθεν θα υποφέρω
και να σκεφτείς ότι σαν σήμερα σε γνώρισα

Πώς να γλυτώσει μάτια μου ο ένας απ' τον άλλο
πώς θες να αλλάξουμε ουρανό
τώρα που μοιάζουμε με δίδυμα φεγγάρια
που ξενυχτάνε με τον ίδιο στεναγμό


Έτσι για να πω πως σε κέρδισα
θα 'θελα μια φορά να σε πληγώσω
εσύ να τρέχεις πίσω μου σαν μέλισσα
και εγώ να κάνω τον αδιάφορο καμπόσο

Ωραία που τα λες μα έλα που σε ξέρω
με ένα φιλί μου θα σ' αλλάξω την τροχιά
κι όταν θα σκέφτεσαι το πως θα υποφέρω
καινούριο πόθο θα σ' ανάβω στην καρδιά


Πώς να γλυτώσει μάτια μου ο ένας απ' τον άλλο
πώς θες να αλλάξουμε ουρανό
τώρα που μοιάζουμε με δίδυμα φεγγάρια
που ξενυχτάνε με τον ίδιο στεναγμό





Stormy Blues








I've been down so long
That down don't worry me

I just sit and wonder
Where can my good man be
When it rains in here
It's storming on the sea
When it rains in here
It's storming on the sea

Every time I come here
Everything happens to me
I lose my man
I lose my head
I lose my money
Feel like I'm almost dead
I need you honey
Need you bad as can be

I've been down so long
That down don't worry me

"meet you at the moon" Imelda May




We're lookin at the same moon
Though we're miles apart

We're wishin on the same star
When you're deep in my heart

I don't know if you know
But when we miss eachother so
Look up
I'll meet you at the moon

We're starin at the same sky
Strangers it seems
We're sittin on the same earth
Though there's oceans between

I don't know if you know
But when we miss eachother so
Look up
I'll meet you at the moon

Mmm I'm part of you
And your part of me
But it's a cold old world
When your missin somebody

With out you
I wouldn't couldnt be
So when your heart is achin
And it can't take much more breaking

We're lookin at the same moon
Though we're miles apart
We're wishin on the same start
When your deep in my heart

I don't know if you know
But when we miss eachother so
Look up
I'll meet you at the moon


Sam Brown - Stop







All that I have is all that you've given me
Did you never worry that I'd come to depend on you
I gave you all my love that I had in me
Now that I've found you've lied,
I can't believe it's true

Wrapped in his arms, I see you across the street
I can't help but wonder if he knows what's going on
You talk about that love but you don't know how it feels
When you realize that you're not the only one

You'd better stop
before you tear me all apart
You'd better stop
before you go and a break my heart

Oh, whoa, you'd better stop..

Time after time, I've tried to walk away
But it's not that easy when your soul is torn in two
So I resign myself to it every day
Now all I can do is leave it up to you

You'd better stop
before you tear me all apart
You'd better stop before you go and a break my heart

Oh, whoa, you'd better stop

You better stop if you love me
Oh, it's time to be sorry
No it won't last forever
I can't believe you walked out on me
You'd better stop before you tear me all apart
You'd better stop before you break my lonely heart

Whoa, whoa, you better, whoa, whoa
Whoa, oh, you better stop
Better stop

Gary Moore- Nothing's the same







Another time, another place.
The lonely streets where we embraced.
Then you would go without a trace.
Nothing's the same without you.

Another day goes passing by.
I sit alone and wonder why.
Sometimes it's hard, but I will try
To live my life without you.

You're in my heart, you're in my dreams.
You're everywhere or so it seems.
So many times I've heard that song.
Hold back the tears, pretend you're strong.

Another day goes slowly by.
I sit alone and wonder why.
I think of you, I start to cry.
Nothing's the same without you.

Another time, another place.
The sweetness of our last embrace.
What would I give to see your face.
Nothing's the same without you.

Nothing's the same,
nothing's the same,
nothing's the same without you.

Born under a bad sign





One, two
Born under a bad sign
I been down since I begin to crawl
If it wasn't for bad luck, I wouldn't have no luck at all
Hard luck and trouble is my only friend
I been on my own ever since I was ten
Born under a bad sign
I been down since I begin to crawl
If it wasn't for bad luck, I wouldn't have no luck at all
I can't read, haven't learned how to write
My whole life has been one big fight
Born under a bad sign
I been down since I begin to crawl
[  From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/a/albert-king-lyrics/born-under-a-bad-sign-lyrics.html ]
If it wasn't for bad luck, I wouldn't have no luck at all
I ain't lyin'
If it wasn't for bad luck I wouldn't have no kind-a luck
If it wasn't for real bad luck, I wouldn't have no luck at all
Wine and women is all I crave
A big legged woman is gonna carry me to my grave
Born under a bad sign
I been down since I begin to crawl
If it wasn't for bad luck, I wouldn't have no luck at all
Yeah, my bad luck boy
Been havin' bad luck all of my days, yes

Nothing's the same

Tell Him ..






Tell Him  Barbra Streisand and Celine Dion


I'm scared
So afraid to show I care
Will he think me weak
If I tremble when I speak
Oooh
What if
There's another one he's thinking of
Maybe he's in love
I'd feel like a fool
Life can be so cruel
I don't know what to do

 I've been there
With my heart out in my hand
But what you must understand
You can't let the chance
To love him pass you by
Tell him

Tell him that the sun and moon

Rise in his eyes
Reach out to him
And whisper
Tender words so soft and sweet



I'll hold him close to feel his heart beat

Love will be the gift you give yourself
Touch him

Oooh
With the gentleness you feel inside
I feel it
Your love can't be denied
The truth will set you free
You'll have what's meant to be


All in time you'll see

Oooh
I love him
Then show him
Of that much I can be sure
Hold him close to you
I don't think I could endure
If I let him walk away
When I have so much to say

Tell him

Tell him that the sun and moon

Rise in his eyes
Reach out to him
And whisper
Tender words so soft and swee

Hold him close to feel his heart beat
Love will be the gift you give yourself
Love is light that surely glows
In the hearts of those who know
It's a steady flame that grows
Feed the fire with all the passion you can show
Tonight love will assume its place
This memory time cannot erase
Your faith will lead love where it has to go

 Tell him

Tell him that the sun and moon
Rise in his eyes
Reach out to him
And whisper
Whisper words so soft and sweet

Hold him close to feel his heart beat
Love will be the gift you give yourself


Oooh

Never let him go.



piensa en mi..








 Luz Casal
Si tienes un hondo penar
piensa en mí;
si tienes ganas de llorar
piensa en mí.
Ya ves que venero
tu imagen divina,
tu párvula boca
que siendo tan niña,
me enseñó a besar.

Piensa en mí
cuando beses,
cuando llores
también piensa en mí.

Cuando quieras
quitarme la vida,
no la quiero para nada,
para nada me sirve sin ti.





Je suis malade





Je ne rêve plus, je ne fume plus
Je n'ai même plus d'histoire
Je suis sale sans toi, 
je suis laide sans toi
Je suis comme un orphelin dans un dortoir

Je n'ai plus envie de vivre ma vie
Ma vie cesse quand tu pars
Je n'ai plus de vie et même mon lit
Se transforme en quai de gare
Quand tu t'en vas
Je suis malade, complètement malade

Comme quand ma mère sortait le soir
Et qu'elle me laissait seule avec mon désespoir

Je suis malade, parfaitement malade
T'arrives on ne sait jamais quand
Tu repars on ne sait jamais où
Et ça va faire bientôt deux ans
Que tu t'en fous
Comme à un rocher, comme à un pêche
Je suis accrochée à toi
Je suis fatiguée, je suis épuisée
De faire semblant d'être heureux quand ils sont là
Je bois toutes les nuits, mais tous les whiskies
Pour moi ont le même goût
Et tous les bateaux portent ton drapeau

Je ne sais plus où aller, tu es partout
Je suis malade, complètement malade
Je verse mon sang dans ton corps
Et je suis comme un oiseau mort quand toi tu dors
Je suis malade, parfaitement malade
Tu m'as privée de tous mes chants
Tu m'as vidée de tous mes mots
Pourtant moi j'avais du talent avant ta peau
Cet amour me tue et si ça continue

Je crèverai seule avec moi
Près de ma radio, comme un gosse idiot
Ecoutant ma propre voix qui chantera

Je suis malade, complètement malade
Comme quand ma mère sortait le soir
Et qu'elle me laissait seule avec mon désespoir
Je suis malade, c'est ça, je suis malade
Tu m'as privée de tous mes chants
Tu m'as vidée de tous mes mots
Et j'ai le cour complètement malade
Cerné de barricades, t'entends ..
 je suis malade


Ταξίδεψέ με ..



"Τα τραγούδια των ανθρώπων .. " γράφει κάπου ο Χικμέτ
"...πιο βαριά από ελπίδα ,
πιο λυπημένα ,
πιο διαρκή .. "

Κι εγώ απόψε θέλω εδώ ,
σ ένα τραγούδι,
σ ένα ταξίδι .. μακρύ κι απρόσμενο , 
δίχως πυξίδα .. 


για οπουδήποτε .. 



Στίχοι: Βασ. Παπαδόπουλος
Μουσική: Δημ. Κορδατζής
Εκτέλεση: Νότης Σφακιανάκης






Ταξίδεψέ με σ' ένα ταξίδι
χωρίς πυξίδα για οπουδήποτε
μαζί σου να 'μαι και δε φοβάμαι
σου λέω τίποτε

Άλλοι κοιτούν τον ουρανό και χάνονται
εγώ δεν έμαθα ποτέ να δραπετεύω
άλλοι κοιτούν τον ουρανό και χάνονται
εγώ κοιτώ τα μάτια σου και ταξιδεύω

Ταξίδεψέ με σ' ένα ταξίδι
που κάνουν λίγοι μακρύ κι απρόσμενο
κι αυτό το βράδυ και το άλλο βράδυ
και το επόμενο

Είναι που όλα ήρθαν αργά..




Διάφανα Κρίνα 
Στίχοι  Παντ. Ροδοστόγλου

Μουσική   Διάφ. Κρίνα 
Λυπάμαι που δεν έγινα μια θάλασσα για σένα
Να με κοιτάς νοσταλγικά με τα μαλλιά βρεγμένα
Λυπάμαι που δεν έγινα Σαχάρα να ουρλιάζεις
Κάτω από τ' άστρα από χαρά να κλαίς, ν' ανατριχιάζεις
Λυπάμαι που δεν έγινα βράχος να ξαποστάσεις
Βότσαλο αψηλάφητο να σκύψεις να το πιάσεις.

Είναι που όλα ήρθαν αργά και πώς να συνηθίσω
Την άπειρή σου ομορφιά, τον τρυφερό σου ίσκιο
Είναι που όλα ήρθαν αργά και πώς να συνηθίσω
Την άπειρή σου ομορφιά μαράθηκα πριν ζήσω.

Πολλούς θανάτους έζησα μα σαν κι αυτόν για σένα
Πολλούς θανάτους έζησα μα σαν κι αυτόν κανένα...

As Time Goes By ..( play it Sam..)






[This day and age we're living in
Gives cause for apprehension
With speed and new invention
And things like fourth dimension.
Yet we get a trifle weary
With Mr. Einstein's theory.
So we must get down to earth at times
Relax relieve the tension
And no matter what the progress
Or what may yet be proved
The simple facts of life are such
They cannot be removed.]

You must remember this
A kiss is just a kiss, a sigh is just a sigh.
The fundamental things apply
As time goes by.
And when two lovers woo
They still say, "I love you."
On that you can rely
No matter what the future brings
As time goes by.

Moonlight and love songs
Never out of date.
Hearts full of passion
Jealousy and hate.
Woman needs man
And man must have his mate
That no one can deny.
It's still the same old story
A fight for love and glory
A case of do or die.
The world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by.

Oh yes, the world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by.

Cry me a river


                                                                                                               Ella Fitzgerald


Now you say you’re lonely
You cry the long night through
Well, you can cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you

Now you say you’re sorry
For being so untrue
Well, you can cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you

You drove me, nearly drove me, out of my head
While you never shed a tear
Remember, I remember, all that you said?
You told me love was too plebeian
Told me you were through with me and
Now you say you love me
Well, just to prove that you do
Come on and cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you
I cried a river over you
I cried a river, over you

You drove me, nearly drove me, out of my head
While you never shed a tear
Remember, I remember, all that you said?
You told me love was too plebeian
Told me you were through with me and
Now you say you love me
Well, just to prove that you do
Come on and cry, cry, cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried, I cried, I cried a river over you

If my pillow talk, imagine what it would have said
Could it be a river of tears I cried instead?
Well you can cry me a river
Go ahead and cry me a river
‘Cause I cried, I cried a river over you
How I cried a river over you

A Cry For Love




The Black Heart Procession 





Love not our love
love isn't supposed to be this way
love is a poison ring
and love has poured you drinks
now love waits for you to sleep
don't lend it to a friend
'cause you may never see that friend again
don't bother with a cover 'cause love can
pick out the fakes
but that's not our love
not our love
this crime of love
love isn't supposed to be this way
love will sting and love will burn
love will steal all you've learned
yes it will but not our love
sometimes in your back
and sometimes in your heart
it's a double edged sword
don't you bother with a cover
'cause in a crowd love can pick out the fakes
but that's not our love
not our love
(and the girls sing along) do you hear this cry for
love
do you see this crime of love
love waits for you to sleep
don't lend it to a friend
you can easily pick out the fakes
don't you see this crime of love
this crime of love holds you here
sting burn steal learn
don't turn your back on my heart
you can easily pick out the fakes

Cry Baby








I know she told you,
I know she told you that she loved you
Much more than I do,
But I know she left you,
And you swear that you just don't know why,
Well, you know that I'll always be round
If you ever want me
Come on and cry, cry baby, cry baby, cry baby, yeah,
Oh, like you always seem to do.

Don't you know,
Honey, nobody ever gonna love you
The way I try to do.
Who'll be willing to take your pain
And all your heartache, too ?
Honey, I swear I'll always, I'll always be around
If you ever want me
Come on and cry, cry baby, cry baby yeah, cry baby, yeah,
Oh daddy, welcome back home, yeah.

I know when you're sharp and round, babe,
Seems like the grass always looks greener,
When you're looking over there in somebody else's back-yard
So I know what you're tryin' to tell me
When you say, mama, mama, mama, mama, mama,
I've gotta go out shopping for my life
I've gotta find my, my own true third eye,
Hare Krishna identity out there on the road there.

And although it may be comfortable here
Sleeping in all your nice bed with all those satin sheets
And all that nice fur, eatin' all that chicken
Gettin' stoned, havin' a good time I have to go and rough it
I have to go to Africa
Or I have to go to Omaha, or some place like that,
I have to find myself, you know what I mean ?
So there's this stud, man, walkin' around the fuckin' highways of America with a pack on his back
Lookin' for his identity, right ?

Well, I want to say baby don't you know you left your mama here all alone ?
You left your good lovin' mama right at home
And that should be identity enough for any man, ha ha ha!
So I said baby, I know that you're gonna come home to me some day
And I'll be able to tell when you walk in my front door
I do, I just do believe that I can be lookin' in your eyes
So Lord, you finally realize
So you can put your head on my shoulder, babe,
'Cause I know you got some more tears to share,
Come on, let it go,
So come on, come on, come on, come on, come on,
Honey, cry, cry baby, cry baby, cry,

Honey when you got some more tears to shed
Honey I won't let a man stand in your way, babe,
You have to snap all your fear from the door house away dear
You just gotta let it go, baby, come on,
Honey cry, oh, cry to me baby.
Is it a hit or a miss ?
