starry, starry night
paint your palette blue and grey.
look out on a summer's day,
with eyes that know the darkness in my soul.
shadows on the hills
sketch the trees and the daffodils
catch the breeze and the winter chills
in colors on the snowy linen land
Vincent (Don McLean)

Are the stars out tonight
I don't know if it's cloudy or bright
I only have eyes for you
The moon may be high
but I can't see a thing in the sky
I only have eyes for you.
I do know if I'm in a garden
Or on a crowdedavenue
you are here so am I
Maybe millions of people go by -
But they all disappear from view
Because I only have eyes for you.

And now the purple dusk of twilight time
Steals across the meadows of my heart
High up in the sky the little moon starts to
....b
...m
..i
.l
c
Always reminding me that we're apart
You wandered down the lane and far away
Leaving me a song that will not die
Love is now the stardust of yesterday
The music of the years gone by
Sometimes I wonder why I spend
a lonely night dreaming of a song
The melody haunts my reverie,
and I am once again with you
When our love was new
and each kiss an inspiration
But that was long ago,
now my consolation is in the stardust of a song.
Beside a garden wall,
when stars are bright,
you are in my arms
The nightingale tells his fairy tale
Of paradise where roses grew
Though I dream in vain,
in my heart it will remain
My stardust melody,
The memory of love's refrain
STARDUST

Oh yeah, Stardust, the song voted by the Songwriters Of America as the most perfect song written in the 20th century, oh yeah, that Stardust...Heavenly shades of night are falling, It's twilight time. Out of the mist your voice is calling, It's twilight time, When purple colored curtainsMark the end of the day. I hear you my dear at twilight time. Deepening shadows gather splendor As day is done. Fingers of night will soon surrender The setting sun. I count the moments, darling, Till you're here with me, Together at last at twilight time. Here, in the after-glow of day, We keep our __ beneath the blue.
___________ \___ rendez-vous
Here, in the sweet and same old way, I f ll in love again as I did then. a Deep in the dark your kiss will thrill me
Like days of old.
Lighting the spark of love that fills me
With dreams untold.
Each day I pray for evening just
To be with you,
Together at last at twilight time......
Together at last at twilight time.

That's just too cool, Milo! I'd give you an extra .25 [read: a generous 1/4th of a point] in addition to the normal portion of originality points just for that maneuver!
Back-to-you regards,

I hear you calling and you
don't have to call so loud
I see you falling and you don't
have to walk so proud
You can run all night but we
can take you where
You can shout out in anger
You can laugh like a fool
You can cry like an angel
"Cry Like an Angel"

I am Rosemary's granddaughter
The spitting image of my father
And when the day is done my momma's still my biggest fan
Sometimes I'm clueless and I'm clumsy
But I've got friends that love me
And they know just where I stand
It's all a part of me
And that's who I am
"Who I Am"

Who Do You Love ~ Bo Diddley
1956 A.D.
I walk 47 miles of barbed wire,
I use a cobra-snake for a necktie,
I got a brand new house on the roadside,
Made from rattlesnake hide,
I got a brand new chimney made on top,
Made out of a human skull,
Now come on take a walk with me, Arlene,
And tell me, who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
I gota tombstone hand and a graveyard mind,
I'm just 22 and I don't mind dying.
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
I rode around the town, use a rattlesnake whip,
Take it easy Arlene, don't give me no lip,
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Night was dark, but the sky was blue,
Down the alley, the ice-wagon flew,
Heard a bUMp, and somebody ScreeeameD,
You should have heard just what I seen.
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Arlene took me by my hand,
And she said ooowee Bo, you know I understand.
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?

Who do you love
Who do you love
Girl I know that you are torn between what was and what could be
I wanna know, gotta know, wanna know, gotta know
Who do you love
Who do you love
Oh yeah
