The Stars are Brrrri-eeetly shi-eening<br />It is the Ni-eeet of the dear Savior's birth. <br /><br />It was the stretching out of the vowels into two sounds (there's a word for this I can't recall) that just made all of us kids crack up. He laughed too, knowing he was being dramatic. I can see his face and laughter thought he's been gone for 21 years.Linda Gartzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00740477693031139484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1375418294983334856.post-28394557211537975522011-01-31T12:42:29.514-08:002011-01-31T12:42:29.514-08:00Jean, this song reminds me precisely Pernell, spea...Jean, this song reminds me precisely Pernell, speaking of eyes, the look, was the first thing that impressed him, and that showed a sincere, good and transparent.<br />Early in the morning is a very beautiful song, when you hear one of the chapters of Bonanza, and now I love my dad's learned on the piano, and my mom and I sing ...<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RmA_PGFVa8A&playnext=1&list=PL2786FCFD51B3763F<br /><br />The first time ever I saw your face<br />I thought the sun rose in your eyes<br />And the moon and stars were the gifts you gave<br />To the dark and the empty skies.<br /><br />and the first time ever I kissed your mouth<br />I felt the earth move in my hands<br />Like the trembling heart of a captive bird<br />That was there at my command, my love.<br /><br /><br /><br />And the first time ever I lay with you<br />I felt your heart so close to mine<br />And I knew our joy would fill the earth<br />And last and last and last till the end of time<br /><br />The first time ever I saw your face, your face,<br />your face, your faceAnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13674741158493645586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1375418294983334856.post-37515303310804244442011-01-31T07:26:04.858-08:002011-01-31T07:26:04.858-08:00I remember that song on my favorite radio show in ...I remember that song on my favorite radio show in Chicago's.

She had one that had a song that I memorized and loved for years. I even sang it to my own children. It always reminds me of summers at her house in California. I don't know quite why I loved it so much, but I always have. <br /><br /><br />HEY JIMMY JOE JOHN JIM JACK<br />(Livingston & Evans)<br /><br />There once was a tiger, tiny little tiger<br />Playing with his tiger toys<br />But his nursemaid made him so afraid<br />He didn't dare make a noise.<br />What happened to the tiger, tiny little tiger<br />Who never learned to roar<br />He's just a mat, stretched out flat<br />On somebody's bedroom floor.<br />What we're saying is:<br />Hey Jimmy Joe John Jim Jack<br />Even little tigers lose their knack<br />When somebody twice their size<br />Can't see the world through children's eyes<br /><br />There once was a beagle, happy little beagle<br />Following his tail around<br />But his mother said ""Go straight to bed,<br />And don't make a single sound""<br />What happened to the beagle, happy little beagle<br />Who never learned to bay -<br />Some burglars came, and to his shame<br />He turned tail and ran away<br />What we're saying is:<br />Hey Jimmy Joe John Jim Jack<br />Even little beagles lose their knack<br />When somebody twice their size<br />Can't see the world through children's eyes<br /><br />There once was a bunny, fluffy little bunny<br />Through the piney woods he'd roam<br />But his father cried ""Come back inside<br />A bunny belongs at home.""<br />What happened to the bunny, fluffy little bunny<br />Who never learned to hop<br />Because the bunny couldn't hop<br />He hangs in the butcher shop<br />What we're saying is:<br />Hey Jimmy Joe John Jim Jack<br />Even little bunnies lose their knack<br />When somebody twice their size<br />Can't see the world through children's eyes<br /><br />Don't do this, don't do that,<br />You might as well be a statue<br />That's how children lose their spark<br />But if grownups would take part in<br />Things that children have their heart in,<br />We'd never end up hiding in the dark.<br />What we're saying is:<br />Hey Jimmy Joe John Jim Jack<br />When you have your own kids let them know<br />Even though you're twice their size<br />You see the world through children's eyes<br />HEY JIMMY JOE JOHN JIM JACK!<br /><br />Copyright Livingston and EvansPitterle Postingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02944899733768126383noreply@blogger.com
