I once had a sparrow alight upon my shoulder for a moment while I was hoeing in a village garden, and I felt that I was more distinguished by that circumstance than I should have been by any epaulet I could have worn. Henry David Thoreau

Mame: Open a New Window
https://youtu.be/cCZKzkeD1oo

Mame: Open a New Window � Angela Lansbury � Frankie Michaels � Mame Ensemble

Broadway: The American Musical

Mame:
Open a new window,
Open a new door,
Travel a new highway,
That's never been tried before;
Before you find you're a dull fellow,
Punching the same clock,
Walking the same tight rope
As everyone on the block.
The fellow you ought to be is three dimensional,
Soaking up life down to your toes,
Whenever they say you're slightly unconventional,
Just put your thumb up to your nose.
And show 'em how to dance to a new rhythm,
Whistle a new song,

Toast with a new vintage,
The fizz doesn't fizz too long.
There's only one way to make the bubbles stay,
Simply travel a new high way,
Dance to a new rhythm,
Open a new window ev'ry day!

If you follow your Auntie Mame
I'll make this vow, my little love,
That on the last day of your life
You'll be smiling the same young smile
You're smiling now, my little love,
If you wake up ev'ry mornin'
And you pull aside the shutter,
And you promise me that these'll be
The first words that you utter
Open a new window,
Open a new door,

highways, smiling all the way.......Miss You Mom !!!

C�line Dion - I'm Your Angel
https://youtu.be/qPCwPe4Tk-4

Music video by C�line Dion performing I'm Your Angel (Duet with R. Kelly).

R KELLY LYRICS
"I'm Your Angel"
(feat. Celine Dion)

[Celine]
No mountain's too high for you to climb
All you have to do is have some climbing faith, oh yeah
No river's too wide for you to make it across
All you have to do is believe it when you pray

[R. Kelly]
And then you will see the morning will come
And every day will be bright as the sun
All of your fears cast them on me
I just want you to see

[Both]
[1] - I'll be your cloud up in the sky
I'll be your shoulder when you cry
I hear your voices when you call me
I am your angel

And when all hope is gone, I'm here
No matter how far you are, I'm near
It makes no difference who you are
I am your angel
I'm your angel

[R. Kelly]
I saw your teardrops and I heard you cry
All you need is time
Seek me and you shall find
You have everything and you're still lonely
It don't have to be this way
Let me show you a better day

[Celine]
And then you will see the morning will come
And all of your days will be bright as the sun
So all of your fears just cast them on me
How can I make you see?

[Repeat 1]

[R ] And when it's time to face the storm
[Celine] I'll be right by your side
[R ] Grace will keep us safe and warm
[Celine] And I know we will survive
And when it seems as if your end is drawing near
[R ] (The end is drawing near)
[Celine] Don't you dare give up the fight
[R ] (Oh no)
[Celine] Just put your trust beyond the skies
[Repeat 1 until fade]

[B]Bette Midler - I think It's Going To Rain Today
https://youtu.be/EGua1SVfsr0

Bette at the " Tonight Show with Johnny Carson " 1989 performing " I think Its Going To Rain Today " LIVE!


"I Think It's Going To Rain Today"

(1) Broken windows and empty hallways,
a pale lit moon in a sky streaked with grey.
Human kindness is overflowing,
and I think it's gonna rain today.

(2) Scarecrows dressed in the latest styles,
the frozen smiles to chase love away.
Human kindness is overflowing,
and I think it's gonna rain today.

(3) Lonely, lonely.
Tin can at my feet,
I think I'll kick it down the street.
That's no way to treat a friend.

(4) Right before me the signs implore me:
Help the needy and show them the way.
Human kindness is overflowing,
and I think it's gonna rain today.

Repeat (3) & (4) Refran



Love, Peace & Joy Our DN Family of Friends
Today & Always!

Hugs Carmen, Picasso Azul & Pasha Coyote Blue!






Every Road Leads Back ~ Bette Midler ~ Johnny Carson
https://youtu.be/Nb6eql-fM8E

so beautiful

BETTE MIDLER LYRICS

(1) Old friend, here we are,
after all the years and tears
and all that we've been through.
It feels so good to see you.
Lookin' back in time,
there've been other friends and other lovers,
but no other one like you.
All my life, no one ever has known me better.

(2) I must have traveled down a thousand roads.
Been so many places, seen so many faces,
always on my way to something' new.
Ohhh, but it doesn't matter,
'cause no matter where I go,
every road leads back,
every road just seems to lead me back to you.

(3) Old friend, there were times
I didn't want to see your face
or hear your name again.
Now those times are far behind me.
It's so good to see your smile.
I'd forgotten how nobody else
could make me smile the way you do.
All this time, you're the one I still want beside me.

Repeat (2nd) Refran 2 Times.........

Thank You DN Family of Friends, So grateful for you !
Carmen, Pablo Picasso Azul & Pasha Coyote Blue!
