A Silly Old Romantic...

[TantaLiza]

Here it is....

Put Your Head On My Shoulder
Paul Anka

Put your head on my shoulder
Hold me in your arms, baby
Squeeze me oh so tight
Show me that you love me too

Put your lips next to mine, dear
Won't you kiss me once, baby
Just a kiss goodnight, may be
You and I will fall in love

People say that love's a game
A game you just can't win
If there's a way
I'll find it somebody
And then this fool with rush in

Put your head on my shoulder
Whisper in my ear, baby
Words I want to hear
Tell me, tell me that you love me too.

Put your head on my shoulder
Whisper in my ear, baby
Words I want to hear, baby
Put your head on my shoulder



This is the song I woke up to on the TV... Time Life... ya gotta love em!! lol

Dedicated to long distance lovers...

Have I Told You Lately That I Love You
Elvis Presley

-Words & music by Scott Wiseman
-performers include Ricky Nelson, Van Morrison, Rod Stewart

Have I told you lately that I love you?
Could I tell you once again somehow?
Have I told with all my heart and soul how I adore you?
Well darling I’m telling you now

Have I told you lately when I’m sleeping
Every dream I dream is you somehow?
Have I told you why the nights are long
When you're not with me?
Well darling I’m telling you now

My heart would break in two if I should lose you
I’m no good without you anyhow
And have I told you lately that I love you
Well darling I’m telling you now

My heart would break in two if I should lose you
I’m no good without you anyhow
And have I told you lately that I love you
Well darling I’m telling you now

TY LizA, really means a lot to me. Especially over the holidays.

It's funny in a way...if I hadn't opened up my heart again to Love, I would not be feeling this pain of not being with my love.

It's poetic and tragic and wonderful, all at the same time...

GoS, Baby...Have I Told You Lately?

 

[69forever]

Good Evening Romantics who are stuck at home without their love by their side...wouldn't be here if we were together, that's for certain!!!

I want to wish each and every one of my Lit. family and freinds the most joyous of Christmas cheer and a blessed and peaceful New Year!!!

If we all just took the time to reach out and give each other the respect and love we want in return...what a wonderful world this would be. Silly old romantic....

Happy Xmas (War Is Over)

John Lennon


(Happy Xmas Kyoko
Happy Xmas Julian)

So this is Xmas
And what have you done
Another year over
And a new one just begun
And so this is Xmas
I hope you have fun
The near and the dear one
The old and the young

A very Merry Xmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear

And so this is Xmas
For weak and for strong
For rich and the poor ones
The world is so wrong
And so happy Xmas
For black and for white
For yellow and red ones
Let's stop all the fight

A very Merry Xmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear

And so this is Xmas
And what have we done
Another year over
A new one just begun
And so happy Xmas
We hope you have fun
The near and the dear one
The old and the young

A very Merry Xmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear
War is over, if you want it
War is over now

Happy Xmas

 

[69forever]

Just want to keep on loving you...

Hi Baby, listening to music and singing...~soft smiles~

Have I told You Lately?

Grow Old With Me

John Lennon


Grow old along with me
The best is yet to be
When our time has come
We will be as one
God bless our love
God bless our love

Grow old along with me
Two branches of one tree
Face the setting sun
When the day is done
God bless our love
God bless our love

Spending our lives together
Man and wife together
World without end
World without end

Grow old along with me
Whatever fate decrees
We will see it through
For our love is true
God bless our love
God bless our love

 

[69forever]

Oops, meant to put another there, but it caught my eye, haven't heard that one in a long time. It speaks volumes for my love for you. I miss you so very much!!!

Till The Rivers Run Dry

Reo Speedwagon


You ask how long I'll love you
It's hard to explain but I'll try
Tell me how long has the sun been shining
Above us in the sky?

Till the last day of forever,
If I have it my way we'll stay together
Till the rivers run dry I'll be loving you.
Till the mountains have crumbled
I'll always be true
And if for some reason you say goodbye
Ask me how long I would cry
Till all the rivers run dry

This path that we're walking
May be rough and rocky sometimes
But we'll believe in one another
Whatever we find

And when you need a hand to guide you
I will be there walking beside you
Till the rivers run dry

Alone In Love

Upon awakening in the morning light
I can feel the emptiness surround me.
I who profess an undying love
have nothing in return
but my aloneness.

Somehow I have convinced myself of
being loved
by the one I profess my love to so
freely.
My reality is lying alone
where the only warmth I feel
is that of my passion for this forsaken
love.

As I dream I fantasize
of a love
I desire to be
yet shall never be.
I have grown to know that being in
love
is the loneliest experience
one can ever know
if its recipient does not nourish that
love.

In knowing this entire.
Why can't I just lay this feeling aside?
Why can't I cast it away
as it has been so easily
by its intended?
For I know it is neither welcomed not
wanted.

Somehow in knowing this
it does not make my love
any less a reality to me.
Thus, I shall allow this eternal flame
of love to burn on within me.
As I continue to believe that all things
are possible
as long as one has faith in love and
life.

You wrote that, I can tell.

I had to open my heart again to love...not lust...love. Without it my heart and soul would have withered on the vine and died.

The woman I love is an amazing creature...never fails to take my heart and soul to places they've never been before.

Thanks for sharing that Ice*...gotta love ya.

Another dedication...

Everyday

James Taylor

everyday it's getting closer
going faster than a roller coaster
a love like yours would surely come my way

everday seems a little faster
all my friends they say go on up and ask her
a love like yours would surely come my way

everyday it seems a little stronger
everyday it lasts a little longer
come what may do you ever long for
true love from me like I longed for yours baby

everyday seems a little closer
going faster than a roller coaster
a love like yours would surely come my way

a love like yours would surely come my way
everyday

everyday it seems a little stronger
everyday you know it lasts a little longer
come what may do you ever long for
true love from me like I longed for yours baby

everyday seems a little closer
going faster than a roller coaster
a love like yours would surely come my way

everyday....

A Christmas Story

The story goes that some time ago a mother punished her 5 year old daughter for wasting a roll of expensive gold wrapping paper. Money was tight and she became even more upset when the child used the gold paper to decorate a box to put under the Christmas tree.

Nevertheless, the little girl brought the gift box to her mother the next morning and said, "This is for you, Mamma."

The mother was embarrassed by her earlier over reaction, but her anger flared again when she opened the box and found it was empty.

She spoke to her daughter in a harsh manner. "Don't you know, young lady, when you give someone a present there's supposed to be something inside the package?"

She had tears in her eyes and said, "Oh, Mamma, it's not empty! I blew kisses into it until it was full."

The mother was crushed. She fell on her knees and put her arms around her little girl, and she begged her forgiveness for her thoughtless anger

An accident took the life of the child only a short time later, and it is told that the mother kept that gold box by her bed for all the years of her life. Whenever she was discouraged or faced difficult problems she would open the box and take out an imaginary kiss and remember the love of the child who had put it there.

In a very real sense, each of us, as human beings, have been given a Golden box filled with unconditional love and kisses from our children, family, friends and God. There is no more precious possession anyone could hold

I have seen that before, it is truly beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

To all the Romantics, hope that you have a very wonderful holiday season and that the coming year is all that you want it to be.

I just know I'm going to screw this up without opening another link to Lit. and this thread...but here goes from the memories.

Whspr...my sweet freind, you inspired this thread in one of our talks about feeling able to love again. Remember, when I said there should be somewhere for us romantics to go? Said "I'll start a thread"...and you said "go for it"?? I did, and it amazes me at the life it has taken on. TY Hon, and You have a wonderful Holidays!!!


toni...what can I say, you have kept this thread up as much, if not more so than I. Your and AA's Love is an inspiration to me. I pray You have the best of the Season and a blessed New Year!!!

Icey*, you're poems and writings come from the heart, and you have an awful lot of that.

Arden...thanks babe, I cann't wait until You guys are together.

Soron...my freind, for all my understanding of it, I'm going to miss your sorry ass pervert around here!!!

sassy...My Dear Sweet Freind!!!! Buds forever Baby! It was bittersweet to start but how could I not be happy with you being able to open your heart and soul again?

LizA, Kurt, Passions Flame, Satin Kitty, Yankee, Wing, Feisty...Oh shit, losing track...forgive me, there's one more.

GodessofSouls...You are that my dear...as you walked right through mine. Not an easy feat to do to a Wizard. One with a vast repritoire of defenses. Once breached, my Love came spilling out, overwhelming everything and everyone in it's path.
Poetry flowed, emotion overwhelmed, our past lives touching.
Warming my heart...disconcerting to yours. I understand past pain, and never want to 'cause more.

Thank You, my Freinds. ~soft smile~

Always welcome sweety! I know what you mean about family...

Best of wishes for you and yours too.

Thanks 69. I think as kids we accept just about anyone/everyone and sometimes our hearts get banged up, broken and tossed aside. When we become adults and fall for a person and then it happens to us it is even harder on us. So as we grow older and "wiser" we decide to "protect" ourselves. We are not going to allow someone to break our heart again, no sir! We " wise ole folks" miss out on so much of life and love "protecting" ourselves. I am so glad that when we truly get older and wiser that we go back to our childhood ways and open our hearts and allow ourselves to trust the other person. Knowing that we may get hurt/broken hearted, but take that chance because we know just how wonderful it will be when/if it works out for the best. You have to take chances in life or just sit on the sidelines and watch life/love pass you by! I love this song and think that ya'll might also. So hope you all are willing to play so that it can come around again! Happy Holidays!

COMING AROUND AGAIN (Carly Simon)

Baby sneezes
Mummy pleases
Daddy breezes in
So good on paper
So romantic
But so bewildering

(chorus)
I know nothing stays the same
But if you're willing to play the game
It's coming around again
So don't mind if I fall apart
there's more room in a broken heart

You pay the grocer
Fix the toaster
Kiss the host Good-bye
Then you break a window
burn the Soufflé
Scream the lullaby

I know nothing stays the same
But if you're willing to play the game
It's coming around again
So don't mind if I fall apart
there's more room in a broken heart

And I believe in love
But what else can I do
I'm so in love with you

I know nothing stays the same
But if you're willing to play the game
It's coming around again
(repeat and fade)

((((((((((Liza))))))))) hope that your holidays are great, despite losing your brother recently. I know how you feel I lost my mom last year. Christmas was good and we were all remembering her and the things that she did. And funny thing is we still kind of did things the way she did, even some of the things that we did not care for! lol. It does getting better. I am not going to say it is easy/quick but you start to remember the good things and tend to forget all the bad and just appreciate them being in your lives for the time that they were.

I don't need any thanks for this thread. YOU are the one who

You know what I always tell you...I just want to see you happy.

Take care,

~turns redfaced~ Thank's whspr...it is wonderful to be among such folks...a romantic is one who stays the course of love, even after being hurt to the core of your soul. We have done that, and looking around, I know that we are the better for it.

Being hurt in love turns so many cynical and worse, closes the door to the heart. What is there left in life then? Job, family, hobbies...lonlinesss. I would rather die of heartbreak than die of lonliness. Just a silly old romantic.

Merry Christmas!

Hi Baby!!!

It was wonderful talking to you on the phone tonight.
Lettting you know that I made it ok.
Knowing that you are well, if tired from work.
Exchanging Christmas wishes, except for....
And we agreed not to go there to bring each other down.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Baby I Love You!!!!
