In the key of life [always]


Love songs [90]

Let’s be clear: I’ve always have had joy inside my tears. There were so many tears that crying stopped. That was the time I didn’t recognized myself anymore — the reasons were, for most of us, obvious: adaptation in a desperate hope to be loved.

Let’s be clear: I don’t complain. Those tears were, in the end, small and insignificant. What’s magnificent are those tears of recognition, tenderness, connection.

Let it be a painting, a poem, a cantata by J.S. Bach, the squirrel dribbling from tree to tree, the hedgehog who reminds me of you in his nakedness, the pigeon that remains undisturbed on its nest, the outstretched hand of a chimpanzee, the countless shiny hair of my cats …

Let’s be clear: it’s love. Love is easier to discover when there are no ulterior motives. That is the pitfall of learned behavior. Our pitfall — homo sapiens.

Fortunately — there are also those (people) who brought joy inside my tears. Thanks.

Joy Inside My Tears
I’ve always come to the conclusion that ‘but’ is the way
Of asking for permission to lay something heavy on ones head
So I have tried to not be the one who’ll fall into that line
But what I feel inside I think you should know

And baby that’s you, you, you
Made life’s history
Cause you’ve brought some joy inside my tears
And you have done what no one thought could be
You’ve brought some joy inside my tears

I’ve always felt that tomorrow is for those who are too much afraid
To go past yesterday and start for today
I feel that lasting moments are coming far and few between
So I should tell you of the happiness that you bring

Baby, baby it’s you, you, you
Made life’s history
Oh baby, you’ve brought some joy inside my tears
Baby you have done what no one thought could be
You brought some joy inside my tears
You brought some joy inside my tears
You brought some joy inside my tears

Baby, baby you have done what no one thought could be
Hey, you brought some joy inside my tears

Gotta tell you
You, you, you made life’s history
You brought some joy inside my tears
You brought you brought you brought some joy inside my tears
Baby baby baby you have done what no one thought could be
You brought some joy inside my tears

You made it baby you made it baby made it made life’s history
You you you made life’s history
You brought some joy inside my tears
You have done what no one thought could be
Nobody ever thought it would be
You have done what no one thought could be

You you you made life’s history
Gotta shout about it baby
You brought some joy inside my tears

You have done what no one thought could be
You brought some joy inside my tears
You you you made life’s history
You brought some joy inside my tears
You brought some joy inside my tears
You brought some joy inside my tears


Love songs [34]

As
As around the sun the earth knows she’s revolving
And the rosebuds know to bloom in early may
Just as hate knows love’s the cure
You can rest your mind assure
That I’ll be loving you always

As now can’t reveal the mystery of tomorrow
But in passing will grow older every day
Just as all that’s born is new
You know what I say is true
That I’ll be loving you always

Until the rainbow burns the stars out in the sky
Always
Until the ocean covers every mountain high
Always
Until the dolphin flies and parrots live at sea
Always
Until we dream of life and life becomes a dream

Did you know that true love asks for nothing
No no her acceptance is the way we pay
Did you know that life has given love a guarantee
To last through forever and another day

Just as time knew to move on since the beginning
And the seasons know exactly when to change
Just as kindness knows no shame
Know through all your joy and pain
That I’ll be loving you always

As today I know I’m living
But tomorrow could make me the past
But that I mustn’t fear
For I’ll know deep in my mind
The love of me I’ve left behind
‘Cause I’ll be loving you always

Until the day is night and night becomes the day
Always
Until the trees and seas just up and fly away
Always
Until the day that eight times eight times eight is four
Always
Until the day that is the day that are no more
Did you know you’re loved by somebody
Until the day the earth starts turnin’ right to left
Always
Until the earth just for the sun denies itself
I’ll be lovin’ you forever
Until dear mother nature says her work is through
Always
Until the day that you are me and I am you
Always
Until the rainbow burns the stars out in the sky
Until the ocean severs every mountain high
Always

We all know sometimes life hates and troubles
Can make you wish you were born in another time and space
But you can bet your lifetimes that and twice it’s double
That God knew exactly where he wanted you to be placed
So make sure when you say you’re in it, but not of it
You’re not helpin’ to make this earth
A place sometimes called hell
Change your words into truths
And then change that truth into love
And maybe our children’s grandchildren
And their great grandchildren will tell
I’ll be loving you until the rainbow burns the stars out in the sky


Love songs [20]

Without words. Performers that feel every sheer aspect of this song.


The Self [changing of the guards]

As around the sun the earth knows she’s revolving
And the rosebuds know to bloom in early may
Just as hate knows love’s the cure
You can rest your mind assure
That I’ll be loving you always

As now can’t reveal the mystery of tomorrow
But in passing will grow older every day
Just as all that’s born is new
You know what I say is true
That I’ll be loving you always

Until the rainbow burns the stars out in the sky
Always
Until the ocean covers every mountain high
Always
Until the dolphin flies and parrots live at sea
Always
Until we dream of life and life becomes a dream

Did you know that true love asks for nothing
No no her acceptance is the way we pay
Did you know that life has given love a guarantee
To last through forever and another day

Just as time knew to move on since the beginning
And the seasons know exactly when to change
Just as kindness knows no shame
Know through all your joy and pain
That I’ll be loving you always

As today I know I’m living
But tomorrow could make me the past
But that I mustn’t fear
For I’ll know deep in my mind
The love of me I’ve left behind
‘Cause I’ll be loving you always

Until the day is night and night becomes the day
Always
Until the trees and seas just up and fly away
Always
Until the day that eight times eight times eight is four
Always
Until the day that is the day that are no more
