How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man?
Yes, 'n' how many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes, 'n' how many times must the cannon balls fly
Before they're forever banned?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind.
How many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky?
Yes, 'n' how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry?
Yes, 'n' how many deaths will it take till he knows
That too many people have died?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind.
How many years can a mountain exist
Before it's washed to the sea?
Yes, 'n' how many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free?
Yes, 'n' how many times can a man turn his head,
Pretending he just doesn't see?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind.

Mrs. Robinson
Simon and Garfunkel--Mrs. Robinson
And here’s to you, Mrs. Robinson
Jesus loves you more than you will know
(Wo wo wo)
God bless you, please Mrs. Robinson
Heaven holds a place for those who pray
(Hey hey hey – hey hey hey)
We’d like to know a little bit about you for our files
We’d like to help you learn to help yourself
Look around you, all you see are sympathetic eyes
Stroll around the grounds until you feel at home
And here’ to you, Mrs. Robinson
Jesus loves you more than you will know
(Wo wo wo)
God bless you, please Mrs. Robinson
Heaven holds a place for those who pray
(Hey hey hey – hey hey hey)
Hide it in a hiding place where no one ever goes
Put it in your pantry with your cupcakesI
t’s a little secret, just the Robinson’s affair
Most of all you’ve got to hide it from the kids
Coo coo ca choo, Mrs. Robinson
Jesus loves you more than you will know
(Wo wo wo)
God bless you, please Mrs. Robinson
Heaven holds a place for those who pray
(Hey hey hey – hey hey hey)
Sitting on a sofa on a Sunday afternoon
Going to the candidates’ depate
Laugh about it, shout about it
When you’ve got to choose
Ev’ry way you look at it you lose
Where have you gone, Joe DiMaggio?
A nation turns its lonely eyes to you
(Woo woo woo)
What’s that you say, Mrs. Robinson
‘Joltin Joe’ has left and gone away?
(Hey hey hey – hey hey hey)
And here’s to you, Mrs. Robinson
Jesus loves you more than you will know
(Wo wo wo)
God bless you, please Mrs. Robinson
Heaven holds a place for those who pray
(Hey hey hey – hey hey hey)

I Say A Little Prayer
My Best Friend's Wedding
I Say A Little Prayer - Diana King
From the moment I wake up
Before I put on my makeup
I say a little prayer for you..
While combing my hair now
And wond'ring what dress to wear now
I say a little prayer for you...
Chorus:
Forever, and ever, you'll stay in my heart, and I'll love you
Forever, and ever, we never will part, and I will love you
Together, forever, that's how it should be
Living without you
Would only mean heartbreak for me...
I run for the bus dear, while riding I think of us dear,
I say a lil prayer for you
At work I just take time, and all through my coffee break time
I say a lil prayer for you...
Chorus
My darling believe me
For me there is no one but you
Say you love me too...

Music
From today on, I shall post lyrics of a few songs that I like. 'Songs that remind me of the good times, songs that remind me of the best times'
Just wanted to add them to my collection in a way. Everytime I read these lyrics.... I sorts of live the song again. I begin with George Micheal, Careless whispers, from his WHAM dayz!
Careless Whisper- George Michael
I feel so unsure as I take your hand an lead you to the dance floor.
As the music dies something in your eyes
Calls to mind a silver screen and you're its sad goodbye.
I'm never gonna dance again
guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know you're not a fool.
I should have known better than to cheat a friend
And waste a chance that I've been given.
So I'm never gonna dance again
the way I danced with you.
Time can never mend the careless whispers of a good friend.
To the heart and mind ignorance is kind.
There's no comfort in the truth
pain is all you'll find.
I'm never gonna dance again
guilty feet have got no rhythm. . .
Never without your love.
Tonight the music seems so loud
I wish that we could lose this crowd.
Maybe it's better this way
We'd hurt each other with the things we want to say.
We could have been so good together
We could have lived this dance forever
But now who's gonna dance with me? - Please stay.
And I'm never gonna dance again
guilty feet have got no rhythm. . .
No dance
no dance
no dance
you're gone - no dance
you're gone.
This matter is so wrong
so wrong
that you had lo leave me alone.

Me Again!
Was listening to a radio show last evening... on the long forgotten AIR FM...
A show called 'Hits & Memories'... some female was presenting the show... I tried hard to catch her name every time she said it.. but all I could hear was some kind of a mumble-jumble... any ways.... I guess thats how her name is supposed to be pronounced or maybe something was seroiusly wrong with her fake english accent. I know people find it difficult to pronounce MY name and I do not know why... its like Hello!... at least give it a shot once.... maybe you will be wrong but then there are chances of you being correct too... people just do not give it a try... hehehe! I just adore those who smile and say... "hey, I know its difficult, so do one thing and let us know how it is supposed to sound"... or even better... "sounds nice when you say it, but I like it better this way so im gonna call you this...."
Oh no! I keep wandering off the topic na! Ya, so I was talking about this show I was listening to yesterday... the presenter had this amazing line up of songs that I sort of grew up listening to...songs that we used to hum along while in the painting class in school...eating our drawing teachers' brains, songs that we had by-heart so as to be able to sing out loud during the lunch hour... or just to impress our western music teacher....and get an entry into the school choir, songs that I would listen to when I was down and outwhen nothing but music would help...times when the only thing that was there to worry about was exams and friends!
She had on her list, songs by Queen, Wham, Billy Joel, Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, Tracy Chapman, SADE, Carl Douglas and the likes...so the first thing that I did as soon as I could access the internet was to lay my hands on the lyrics of these songs and then mail them to my school friends. The idea is to get them to remember the good old days...the days long gone... the ones that we will cherish all our lives...
Looks like im in a pensive mood again...in a dire need of a heavy dose of ummm....hmmmm...something!
These are just a few of the songs that make me feel like its school time again...those carefree years and those teachers I miss and who remember me even if I get to meet them once in 4 years. I do not want to get into the 'I miss School zone' simply because I miss school....
I think its just music... music does that to me! nothing is better than my favourite music and a cup of coffee on the terrace at 12 at night...things are looking up....the stars are the only ones looking down!
