Someday


Someday, when we are wiser

When the world's older

When we have learned

I pray someday we may yet

Live to live and let live

Someday, life will be fairer

Need will be rarer

And greed will not pay

Godspeed, this bright milleniaOn it's way,

let it come someday

Someday our fight will be won,

andWe'll stand in the sun,

inThat bright afternoon

'Til then, on days when the sunIs gone,

we'll hang onIf we wish upon the moon

There are some days, dark and bitter

Seems we haven't got a prayer

But a prayer for something better

Is the one thing we all share

Someday, when we are wiser

When the whole world is older

When we have love

And I pray someday we may yet

Live to live and one day, someday

Someday life will be fairer

Need will be rarer

And greed will not pay

Godspeed this bright millenia

Let it come

If we wish upon the moon

One day, someday....soon

Here Comes The Sun


This is one of my favorite Beatles songs - maybe it is simple but sometimes it makes you feel better and so - just because I can - this is a freebie for all my group members and subscribers - an extra thank you to all who have sent me heartfelt emails and thank you's and just because I do care about you!



Here Comes The Sun

Here comes the sun,

here comes the sun,

and I say it's all right

Little darling, it's been a long cold lonely winter

Little darling, it feels like years since it's been here

Here comes the sun, here comes the sunand I say it's all right

Little darling, the smiles returning to the faces

Little darling, it seems like years since it's been here

Here comes the sun, here comes the sun

and I say it's all right

Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...

Little darling, I feel that ice is slowly melting

Little darling, it seems like years since it's been clear

Here comes the sun,

here comes the sun,

and I say it's all right

It's all right
This song can be found on these albums:

Shangri La


Shangri-La is a fictional place described in the 1933 novel Lost Horizon by British author James Hilton. In the book, "Shangri-La" is a mystical, harmonious valley, gently guided from a lamasery, enclosed in the western end of the Kunlun Mountains. Shangri-La has become synonymous with any earthly paradise but particularly a mythical Himalayan utopia—a permanently happy land, isolated from the outside world. In the novel Lost Horizon, the people who live at Shangri-La are almost immortal, living years beyond the normal lifespan. The word also evokes the imagery of exoticism of the Orient. The story of Shangri-La is based on the concept of Shambhala, a mystical city in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition.

Grace of My Heart - PAH FEST PRE-RELEASE


This is a title from a movie about the early days of the 50's and 60's relating to the music industry and one of my favorite songs from the movie was "God Give Me Strength" and if you have not seen the movie its a must - the dress suited the title - Grace of My Heart.


Now I have nothing, so God give me strength
'Cause I'm weak in his wake
And if I'm strong I might still breathe
And I don't have anything to share
That I won't throw away into the air
That song is sung out
This bell is rung out
He was the light that I'd bless
He took my last chance at happiness
So God give me strength, God give me strength
I can't hold onto her, God give me strength
When the phone doesn't ring
And I'm lost in imagining
Everything that kind of love is worth
As I tumble back down to the earth
That song is sung out
This bell is rung out
He was the light that I'd bless
He took my last chance at happiness
So God give me strength
(Bridge)
God if he'd grant me his indulgence and decline
I might as well, wipe him from my memory
Fracture the spell, as he becomes my enemy
Maybe I was washed out like a lip-print on my shirt
See, I'm only human, I want him to hurt
I want him
want him to hurt
[instrumental]
Since I lost the power to pretend
That there could ever be a happy ending
That song is sung out
This bell is rung out
He was the light that I'd bless
He took my last chance at happiness
So God give me strength, God give me strength

Midsummers Night Dream


Or, if there were a sympathy in choice, War, death, or sickness did lay siege to it, Making it momentany as a sound, Swift as a shadow, short as any dream; Brief as the lightning in the collied night, That, in a spleen, unfolds both heaven and earth, And ere a man hath power to say 'Behold!' The jaws of darkness do devour it up: So quick bright things come to confusion.

Floradora Girl



Blame Floradora - her name popped up while I was making this dress and I started thinking of the Floradora Girls and this is the result and a freebie for you Floradora with thanks for your inspiration :)

The most popular all Girl groups of the time was the English Girls later nicknamed the "Floradora Girls" who performed the leggy, risqué dances popular during the time in the show entitled "Floradora" which opened in London on November 11, 1899, and later came to America in 1900 from the London Operetta. These leggy dancers became a chorus type dance
group like the Goldwyn Girls, Tiller Girls, Goldiggers, Ziegfeld Girls etc. and a musical stock company of female dancers like the Golddiggers etc. who appeared in many musicals such as Ziegfelds productions.

-- Many of these ladies would later dance as Goldwyn Girls, Ziegfeld Girls and others as well as other musicals and movies in the 1900s-1940s. They were sometimes listed as "Models," "Showgirls" or "Chorus Girls." Most of the Girls would dance in the show, marry one of the Rich Patrons and quit the show which over time produced over 70 Floradora dancers.
