Sappy

[kotori]

There is definitely a touch of Spring in the Air here on the south shore of the Ohio. The sap is rising.

All the Things You Are
You are the promised kiss of springtime
That makes the lonely winter seem long
You are the breathless hush of evening
That trembles on the brink
Of a lovely song
You are the angel glow that lights a star
The dearest things I’ve known are what you are
Someday my happy arms will hold
And someday I’ll know that moment divine
When all the things you are, are mine...
Dah-dah-dah...
Someday my happy arms will hold
And someday I’ll know that moment divine
When all the things you are, are mine...
Jerome Kern / Oscar Hammerstein II
Very Warm for May, 1939

I'm sorry, I'm a dork. I like show-tunes. Does anyone remember Peter Sellers singing this in a thick Eastender-type accent? It's my favorite version, the sappiest.

Sappy is staying up too late on a worknight to finish watching 'Gigi'!

'Zank heaven fo' leetle guhlz ~ fo' leetle guhlz get beeger every day...'

 

[sexy-girl]

i write poems when im sappy such as :


lost in the night
fight to stay alive
it made me cry
as i wanted to die
looking for you

searching in dreams
seems i might have found
where you've been
but have you seen
that im looking for you

i scream out loud
found you by my side
arms around me
you surround me
because you saw, i was looking for you


i never said it was good after all i wrote it at 3am

 

[kotori]

good to see you, sexy-girl

I was just thinking yesterday, I hadn't remembered seeing you in a bit. How's by you? Lovely poem, btw.

And Rose, dear Blushing Rose: Ah yes, I remember it well!.

Sappy in NYC too!

Finding Oman's thread on cheap airfares has made me feel "sappy"! Just knowing he's thinking about possibly getting back to NYC to see me again fills my heart with happiness. Geez.. I sure miss him.

It's a beautiful day . . .

Ad pulcritudinem tria requiruntur integritas, consonantia, claritas."Three things are needed for beauty: wholeness, harmony and radiance." Thomas Aquinas (Joyce's translation).


Thanx to all you beautiful people.

a little sap before i run off to my exam:

Pale Blue Eyes
The Velvet Underground

Sometimes I feel so happy
Sometimes I feel so sad
Sometimes I feel so happy
But mostly you just make me mad
Baby you just make me mad
Linger on, your pale blue eyes
Linger on, your pale blue eyes

Thought of you as my mountain top
Thought of you as my peak
Thought of you as everything
I've had but couldn't keep
I've had but couldn't keep

If I could make the world as pure and strange as what I see
I'd put you in the mirror I put in front of me
I put in front of me

Skip a life completely, stuff it in a cup
She said money is like us in time
It lies but can't stand up
Down for you is up

It was good what we did yesterday
And I'd do it once again
The fact that you are married
Only proves you're my best friend
But it's truly, truly a sin
Linger on, your pale blue eyes
Linger on, your pale blue eyes

something a little brighter can't leave on a down beat

MARIA
I feel pretty,
Oh, so pretty,
I feel pretty and witty and bright!
And I pity
Any girl who isn't me tonight.

I feel charming,
Oh, so charming
It's alarming how charming I feel!
And so pretty
That I hardly can believe I'm real.

See the pretty girl in that mirror there:
Who can that attractive girl be?
Such a pretty face,
Such a pretty dress,
Such a pretty smile,
Such a pretty me!

I feel stunning
And entrancing,
Feel like running and dancing for joy,
For I'm loved
By a pretty wonderful boy!

GIRLS
Have you met my good friend Maria,
The craziest girl on the block?
You'll know her the minute you see her,
She's the one who is in an advanced state of shock.

She thinks she's in love.
She thinks she's in Spain.
She isn't in love,
She's merely insane.

It must be the heat
Or some rare disease,
Or too much to eat
Or maybe it's fleas.

Keep away from her,
Send for Chino!
This is not the
Maria we know!

Modest and pure,
Polite and refined,
Well-bred and mature
And out of her mind!

MARIA
I feel pretty,
Oh, so pretty
That the city should give me its key.
A committee
Should be organized to honor me.

GIRLS
La la la la . . .

MARIA
I feel dizzy,
I feel sunny,
I feel fizzy and funny and fine,
And so pretty,
Miss America can just resign!

GIRLS
La la la la . . .

MARIA
See the pretty girl in that mirror there:

GIRLS
What mirror where?

MARIA
Who can that attractive girl be?

GIRLS
Which? What? Where? Whom?

MARIA
Such a pretty face,
Such a pretty dress,
Such a pretty smile,
Such a pretty me!

GIRLS
Such a pretty me!

ALL
I feel stunning
And entrancing,
Feel like running and dancing for joy,
For I'm loved
By a pretty wonderful boy!

RE: Pale Blue Eyes

Great song. Written about a woman Lou met at a party with Brown eyes.

cool i knew there had to be a reason it spoke to me. it still hasn't replaced "brown eyed girl" as my favorite song about brown eyes, but i figured posting those lyrics would be a little egotistical

Yes Kotori Spring fever begins on this coast as well. The snow is gone and the sun seems warmer. My all time favourite sappy song, guaranteed to make the eyes water.


EVERGREEN (Love Theme from "A Star Is Born")
Barbra Streisand
- written by Paul Williams and Barbra Streisand

Love, soft as an easy chair
Love, fresh as the morning air
One love that is shared by two
I have found with you
Like a rose under the April snow
I was always certain love would grow
Love, ageless and evergreen
Seldom seen by two
You and I will
make each night the first
Everyday a beginning
Spirits rise and their dance is unrehearsed
They warm and excite us
'Cause we have the brightest love
Two lights that shine as one Morning glory and midnight sun
Time, we've learned to sail above
Time, won't change the meaning of one love
Ageless and ever evergreen
