1001 Arabian Nights

King Shahriyar had become disgruntled with the unfaithfulness of women, and vowed to have a new wife each night. Each was to be executed the following morning.
Shahrazad, when her turn came, enacted a clever plan. Each night her sister Dunyzad would come into their room and request a story. The King became so entranced by Shahrazad's stories that he would long to hear the conclusion of each one; and night after night Shahrazad would leave him in suspense, thus earning herself a further stay of execution.

Ode To Joy

Joy, thou beauteous godly lighting,

Daughter of Elysium,

Fire drunken we are ent'ringHeavenly, thy holy home!

Thy enchantments bind together,

What did custom's sword divide,

Beggars are a prince's brother,

Where thy gentle wings abide.

Blackbird Singing In the Dead of Night

I hear that song and I think of a beautiful bird that hides its wonderful colors in the night and this dress - OMG it is taken from a hand embriodered dress of the 50's worn by some fabulous lady and the parties the dress must have seen! On sale with all proceeds to Bugles Across America. Be sure and check out the rest of the sim if you have missed the goodies. The BAA is the big red tent and you can find this awesome dress. I don't want to take it off and want to dance all night!

Happily Ever After

Yes so all the old classic movies usually end that way and I thought this was a cross between that and Glenda the Good Witch from The Wizard of Oz :)

UNRELEASED - Ain't No Mountain High Enough

If you need me, call me. no matter where you are, no matter how far. just call my name. Ill be there in a hurry. on that you can depend and never worry.
(you see, my love is alive its like a seed that only needs the thought of you to grow. so if you feel the need for company, please, my darling, let it be me. I may not be able to express the love I feel for you, but a writer put it very nicely when he was away from the one he loved. He sat down and wrote these words:)

No wind, (no wind) no rain, (no rain)
Nor winters cold
Can stop me, babe (oh, babe) baby (baby)
If youre my goal

No wind, no rain,
Can stop me, babe
If you wanna go

I know, I know you must follow the sun
Wherever it leads
But remember
If you should fall short of your desires
Remember life holds for you one guarantee
Youll always have me

And if you should miss my love
One of these old days
If you should ever miss the arms
That used to hold you so close, or the lips
That used to touch you so tenderly
Just remember what I told you
The day I set you free

Aint no mountain high enough
Aint no valley low enough (say it again)
Aint no river wild enough
To keep me from you

Aint no mountain high enough
Aint no valley low enough (say it again)
Aint no river wild enough
To keep me from you

Aint no mountain high enough
Nothing can keep me
To keep me from you

Aint no mountain high enough
Aint no valley low enough (one more time)
Aint no river wild enough (say it again)
To keep me from you

Aint no mountain high enough
Nothing can keep me
To keep me from you
