For good friends who need a lift today!

Life Ain't Always Beautiful - Gary Allan

Life ain't always beautifu.l
Sometimes it's just plain hard.
Life can knock you down,
It can break your heart.

Life ain't always beautiful:
You think you're on your way.
And it's just a dead end road,
At the end of the day.

But the struggles make you stronger,
And the changes make you wise.
And happiness has it's own way,
Of takin' it's sweet time.

No, life aint always beautiful.
Tears will fall sometimes.
Life aint always beautiful,
But it's a beautiful ride.

Life aint always beautiful:
Some days, I miss your smile.
I get tired of walkin' all,
These lonely miles.

And I wish for just one minute,
I could see your pretty face.
Guess I can dream,
But life dont work that way.

But the struggles make me stronger,
And the changes make me wise.
And happiness has it's own way,
Of takin' it's sweet time.

No, life aint always beautiful.
But I know I'll be fine.
Hey, life ain't always beautiful,
But it's a beautiful ride.
What a beautiful ride.

Airplane - Beach Boys

Over the city in an airplane
I can see everything below
The houses they look so tiny
The cars look like dots
We've only got fifteen minutes to go

The clouds in the sky caress my mind so tenderly
The sun shines down on the great big beautiful scene

The sound of the engine fills my ears up
I'm hopin' this rainy weather clears up
My lover is waiting at the airport
Soon he'll be kissing me hello

The woman sitting next to me tells me 'bout her guy
And I tell her all about you and I

Airplane, airplane
Carry me back to his side
Airplane, airplane
I need God as my guide
Down, down on the ground
Can't wait to see his face

[PapaMouse]

Kenny Loggins (I'm not sure if Jim Messina was with him on this one.)

Return To Pooh Corner

Christopher Robin and I walked along
Under branches lit up by the moon
Posing our questions to Owl and Eeyore
As our days disappeared all too soon
But I've wandered much further today than I should
And I can't seem to find my way back to the wood, so

{Refrain}
Help me if you can I've got to get
Back to the house at Pooh Corner by one
You'd be surprised, there's so much to be done
Count all the bees in the hive
Chase all the clouds from the sky - Chase the clouds away
Back to the days of Christopher Robin and Pooh

Winnie the Pooh doesn't know what to do
Got a honey jar stuck on his nose
He came to me asking help and advice
And from here no one knows where he goes
So I sent him to ask of the Owl if he's there
How to loosen a jar from the nose of a bear

{Refrain}

It's hard to explain how a few precious things
Seem to follow throughout all our lives
After all's said and done I was watching my son
Sleeping there with my bear by his side
So I tucked him in, kissed him, and as I was going
I swear that old bear whispered, "Boy, welcome home"

Believe me if you can, I've finally come
Back to the house at Pooh Corner by one
What do you know, there's so much to be done
Count all the bees in the hive
Chase all the clouds from the sky - Chase the clouds away
Back to the days of Christopher Robin and - Back to the days
Back to the ways of Christopher Robin and - Back to the ways
Back to the days of Pooh

(And my mind's eye can just see my son sleeping with a teddy bear. But this one isn't Winnie the Pooh. It's Jimmy. And he wasn't mine; he was MamaMouse's. But still, I'm sure he'd have said "Girl, welcome home!" to MamaMouse.)

[fiona]

I haven't listened to that song in forever and it's one I always used to love. Time to break out the album I think.

[PapaMouse]

According to Wikipedia, "The Rainbow Connection" is a popular song originally performed by Kermit the Frog (Jim Henson) in The Muppet Movie in 1979. By extension, as evidenced in the TV special, The Muppets at Walt Disney World, the song has come to epitomize the ideals and artistic spirit of Henson and his company as much as "When You Wish Upon a Star" represents Walt Disney and his company.

It has been covered by artists such as Sarah McLachlan, Kenny Loggins, The Dixie Chicks, Justin Timberlake, The Carpenters, Kiki and Herb, Jason Mraz, Me First and the Gimme Gimmes, Caroline's Spine, The Dresden Dolls, Willie Nelson (who is actually often incorrectly credited with penning the song), and many others. The song was written by Paul Williams and Kenneth Ascher.


Why are there so many songs about rainbows,
And what's on the other side?
Rainbows are visions, but only illusions,
And rainbows have nothing to hide.
So we've been told and some choose to believe it,
I know they're wrong, wait and see.
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection,
The lovers, the dreamers and me.

Who said that every wish would be heard and answered,
When wished on the morning star?
Somebody thought of that, and someone believed it,
And look what it's done so far.
What's so amazing that keeps us stargazing
And what do we think we might see?
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection,
The lovers, the dreamers, and me.

All of us under its spell,
We know that it's probably magic ............

Have you been half asleep? And have you heard voices?
I've heard them calling my name.
Is this the sweet sound that calls the young sailors?
The voice might be one and the same.
I've heard it too many times to ignore it,
It's something that I'm s'posed to be .......
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection,

The lovers, the dreamers, and me .........


It's a song I've liked since the first time I heard it, back in the 70's. [yes]

[jodlyn]

Sesame Street has such pretty songs besides the teaching ones. For some reason, that one by Kermit always makes me cry at the end.

Here's another one sung by Kenny Loggins which is so good. I cry for this one also. *Sigh*

Every song the
World sings, each
Was once unknown
Somebody felt a song
Inside and wasn't
Afraid to sing alone
If you feel the music
And you sing it clear
And true
Then the world can
Sing with you

One small voice can
Teach the world a song
Start with one small
Voice till another
Sings along
And then you'll feel the
Music growing full and
Sure and strong
One small voice can
Teach the world a song

No tune is too simple
No voice can
Be wrong
Music can come from
Any heart and anyone's
Voice can lead
The song
If you feel the music
And if you believe
The words
Sing and you'll
Be heard

One small voice can
Teach the world a song
Start with one small
Voice till another
Sings along
And then you'll feel the
Music growing full and
Sure and strong
One small voice can
Teach the world a song

One small voice can
Teach the world a song
Start with one small
Voice till another
Sings along
And then you'll feel the
Music growing full and
Sure and strong
One small voice can
Teach the world a song

I hope you are doing well. It's almost time for your cruise isn't it? Just a few more weeks.

I'm glad to see you. I'm not over on Imdb and don't plan on going back soon. It's good to be able to talk to you here.

[jodlyn]

I'm leaving Imdb for a couple of months. I'm so glad I can come here and be with all of you. It's a good place and this board full of nice people. I hope to repay that kindness with kindness of my own.

Here's to those good people I met on Imdb.



I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories

Remember the good times that we had?
I let them slip away from us when things got bad
How clearly I first saw you smilin' in the sun
Wanna feel your warmth upon me, I wanna be the one

I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories

I'm so tired but I can't sleep
Standin' on the edge of something much too deep
It's funny how we feel so much but we cannot say a word
We are screaming inside, but we can't be heard

But I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories

I'm so afraid to love you, but more afraid to loose
Clinging to a past that doesn't let me choose
Once there was a darkness, deep and endless night
You gave me everything you had, oh you gave me light

And I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories

And I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories
Weep not for the memories

[jodlyn]

I thought it appropriate today.

My funny Valentine
Sweet comic Valentine
You make me smile with my heart
Your looks are laughable
Unphotographable
Yet you're my favourite work of art

Is your figure less than Greek
Is your mouth a little weak
When you open it to speak
Are you smart?

But don't change a hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay little Valentine stay
Each day is Valentine's day

Is your figure less than Greek
Is your mouth a little weak
When you open it to speak
Are you smart?

But don't you change one hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay little Valentine stay
Each day is Valentine's day

[jodlyn]

There are places I remember
All my life though some have changed
Some forever, not for better
Some have gone and some remain

All these places have their moments
With lovers and friends I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life I've loved them all

But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you
And these memories lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new

Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more

Though I remember I’ll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I’ll often stop and think about them
In my life I’ll love you more

In my life I’ll love you more

[PapaMouse]

...favorite songs, except when I'm actually listening to it. (And if anyone asks me who my favorite band is, I always say "The Beatles".)

But this song fits me so well. I think it always has, even before I had someone to love. It's more bittersweet now, since I lost MamaMouse. But at least I can smile when I hear it now.

Thank you for posting it, jody .

Thank you for posting it.

For a very good reason, it fit when I posted it. I'm glad you can smile now, and you're welcome.

[jodlyn]

It feels good to start feeling a little good again.

I can see clearly now the rain has gone
I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
It's going to be a bright, bright sunshiny day

I think I can make it now the pain has gone
And all of the bad feelings have disappeared
Here is the rainbow I've been praying for
It's gonna be a bright, bright sunshiny day

Look all around there's nothing but blue skies
Look straight ahead nothing but blue skies

I think I can make it now the pain has gone
And all of the bad feelings have disappeared
I can see clearly now the rain has gone
It's gonna be a bright, bright
Sunshiny day

[jodlyn]

Starting over is a fool's wish. Remembering mistakes is the only way to keep from doing them again. Life's lesson number 1 trillion.

In the morning, when the moon is at it's rest.
You will find me at the time that I love best.
Watching rainbows play on the sunlight
Pools of water iced from the cold night.
In the morning, 'tis the morning of my life.

In the daytime, I will meet you as before.
You will find me walking by the ocean floor.
Building castles in the shifting sands,
In a world that no one understands.
In the morning, 'tis the morning of my life.

In the morning of my life, the minutes take so long to drift away.
Please be patient with your life,
It's only morning and your still to live your life.

In the evening, I will fly you to the moon.
To the top right corner, of the ceiling in my room.
Where we will stay 'til the sun shines,
Another day to swing on clothes lines.
May be yawning, It is the morning of my. It is the morning of my life.
In the morning. In the morning. In the morning.

[PapaMouse]

Because jody didn't know it's an anti-drug song:

Girl, you thought you found the answer on that magic carpet ride last night
But when you wake up in the mornin' the world still gets you uptight
Well, there's nothin' that you ain't tried
To fill the emptiness inside
But when you come back down, girl
Still ain't feelin' right

Chorus:
(And don't it seem like)
Kicks just keep gettin' harder to find
And all your kicks ain't bringin' you peace of mind
Before you find out it's too late, girl
You better get straight

No, but not with kicks
You just need help, girl

Well you think you're gonna find yourself a little piece of paradise
But it ain't happened yet, so girl, you better think twice
Don't you see no matter what you do
You'll never run away from you
And if you keep on runnin'
You'll have to pay the price

[repeat chorus]

Bridge:

No, you don't need kicks
To help you face the world each day
That road goes nowhere
I'm gonna help you find yourself another way

Chorus:
(And don't it seem like)
Kicks just keep gettin' harder to find
(Oh, you don't need kicks, girl)
And all your kicks ain't bringin' you peace of mind
(You just need help, girl)
Before you find out it's too late, girl
You better get straight

[repeat chorus to fade]

When I looked up the lyrics online, the first site had it listed as a Monkees song. I don't remember ever hearing The Monkees singing that one, and I have almost all their CDs, including 2 volumes of "Missing Links".

[jodlyn]

Thanks for posting the other song, Pat. Those lyrics are really something..

I saw the video for these song lyrics, and it was a sweet video.

Sara Lyrics


Sara Beth is scared to death
To hear what the doctor will say
She hasn't been well
Since the day that she fell
and the bruise that just won't go away

so she sits and she waits with her mother and dad
and flips through an old magazine
Till the nurse with a smile stands at the door
and says Will You Please Come with Me?

Sara Beth is scared to death
cause the doctor just told her the news
between the red cells and white
something's not right
but we're gonna take care of you

six chances in ten it won't come back again
with the therapy we're gonna try
its just been approved it's the strongest there is
and i think we caught it in time
and sara beth closes her eyes

and she dreams she dancing around and around
without any cares
and her very first love
is holding her close
and the soft wind is blowing her hair

Sara beth is scared to death
as she sits holding her mom
cause it would be a mistake
for someone to take a girl with no hair to the prom

for this morning right there on her pillow
was the cruelest of any surprise
and she cried when she gathered it all in her hands
the proof that she couldn't deny
sara beth closes her eyes

and she dreams she dancing around and around
without any cares
and her very first love
is holding her close
and the soft wind was blowing her hair

it's quarter till seven
that boy's at the door
and her daddy ushers him in
when he takes off his cap they all start to cry
cause this morning where his hair had been
softly she touches just skin

and they go dancing around and around
without any cares
and her very first true love
is holding her close
for a moment she isn't scared
