In high school as a sophomore I was involved in jazz choir. Our school hadn’t won an award in competition in over ten years.
One of the songs was a solo, sung by me. We made it to finals. I asked the teacher if we could use my solo in the competition, he barked, no!! You were singing sharp!! I said, no it wasn’t! So he plugged in the cassette, rewound and had a listen, agreeing he was in error, it was right in tune, so we used it in the final round.
We wound up taking first place trophy. I was not permitted to go up for the trophy with others because I was not senior.
Folks like this … they were always around to make certain I never thought too highly of myself.
May he someday understand what he contributed to …
Once I had myself a good woman But I just didn’t treat her right I was always leaving Livin’ a party life
True love was waiting for me I was much too blind to see Till she told me she would leave me I said that’s all right with me
Oh now she’s gone Realize I lost the best thing there is And my pride keeps telling me Let your loss be your lesson
Heaven knows I miss her lovin’ Heaven knows how much I cry Just to think she had left me And I know the reason why I could tell she had been cryin’ It didn’t seem to bother me Cause I know there’s no one blinder Than a fool who just couldn’t see
Now she’s gone I realize I lost the best thing there is And my pride keeps tellin’ me Let your loss be your lesson
Some sunny day-hay baby When everything seems okay, baby You’ll wake up and find out you’re alone Cause I’ll be gone Gone, gone, gone really gone Gone, ga-gone, cause you done me wrong
Everyone that you meet baby As you walk down the street baby Will ask you why you’re walkin’ all alone Why you’re on your own Just say I’m gone Gone, gone, gone Gone, ga-gone, cause you done me wrong
If you change your way baby You might get back to stay baby Ya better hurry up if ya don’t wanna be alone Or I’ll be gone Gone, gone, gone Really gone Gone, ga-gone Cause you done me wrong
I woke with the lyrics “Listen to your heart before you tell him goodbye.” I do believe my soul mate is coming on scene soon.
I know there’s something in the wake of your smile I get a notion from the look in your eyes, yeah You’ve built a love but that love falls apart Your little piece of Heaven turns too dark
Listen to your heart when he’s calling for you Listen to your heart, there’s nothing else you can do I don’t know where you’re going and I don’t know why But listen to your heart before you tell him goodbye
Sometimes you wonder if this fight is worthwhile The precious moments are all lost in the tide, yeah They’re swept away and nothing is what is seems The feeling of belonging to your dreams
Listen to your heart when he’s calling for you Listen to your heart, there’s nothing else you can do I don’t know where you’re going and I don’t know why But listen to your heart before you tell him goodbye
And there are voices that want to be heard So much to mention but you can’t find the words The scent of magic, the beauty that’s been (beauty that’s been) When love was wilder than the wind
Listen to your heart (take a listen to it) when he’s calling for you Listen to your heart (take a listen to it) there’s nothing else you can do I don’t know where you’re going and I don’t know why But listen to your heart before, oh
Listen to your heart (take a listen to it) when he’s calling for you Listen to your heart (take a listen to it) there’s nothing else you can do I don’t know where you’re going and I don’t know why But listen to your heart before You tell him goodbye
Listen to your heart Listen to your heart (take a listen to it) Listen to your heart Listen to your heart (take a, take a listen to it) Listen to your heart Listen to your heart (oh, oh) Listen to your heart (oh, ooh, oh) Listen to your heart (oh, oh, oh) Listen to your heart (oh, oh) Listen to your heart (oh, oh, oh) Listen to your heart (oh, oh) Listen to your heart (oh, yeah, yeah, yeah) Listen to your heart (oh, oh)
Guess we’re getting close to the pre-programmed “zombie apocalypse”.
t’s close to midnight Something evil’s lurking in the dark Under the moonlight You see a sight that almost stops your heart
You try to scream But terror takes the sound before you make it You start to freeze As horror looks you right between the eyes You’re paralyzed
‘Cause this is thriller, thriller night And no one’s gonna save you From the beast about to strike You know it’s thriller, thriller night You’re fighting for your life inside a killer, thriller, ow
I’m gonna thrill you tonight Darkness falls across the land The midnight hour is close at hand Creatures crawl in search of blood To terrorize y’all’s neighborhood (I’m gonna thrill you tonight)
And whosoever shall be found Without the soul for getting down Must stand and face the hounds of hell And rot inside a corpse’s shell I’m gonna thrill you tonight (thriller night, babe)
The foulest stench’s in the air The funk of forty thousand years And grizzly ghouls from every tomb (I’m gonna thrill you tonight) Are closing in to seal your doom (oh, yeah) And though you fight to stay alive Your body starts to shiver For no mere mortal can resist The evil of the thriller
‘Cause this is thriller, thriller night There ain’t no second chance against the thing with 40 eyes, girl Thriller, thriller night You’re fighting for your life inside a killer, thriller
‘Cause this is thriller, thriller night ‘Cause I can thrill you more than any ghoul would ever dare try Thriller (ooh-ooh), thriller night So let me hold you tight and share a Killer, thriller, killer, thriller here tonight
‘Cause this is thriller, thriller night Girl, I can thrill you more than any ghoul would ever dare try Thriller (ooh-ooh), thriller night So let me hold you tight and share a killer, thriller, ow
