Honey
« on: July 31, 2006, 12:02:26 PM »
I drove around for awhile yesterday afternoon listening to two songs. The first one is my wife. The second one is me.

Tupelo Honey; Van Morrison

You know shes alright
You know shes alright with me
Shes alright, shes alright (shes an angel)

You can take all the tea in china
Put it in a big brown bag for me
Sail it right around the seven oceans
Drop it smack dab in the middle of the deep blue sea
Because shes as sweet as tupelo honey
Shes an angel of the first degree
Shes as sweet as tupelo honey
Just like honey from the bee

Shes as sweet as tupelo honey
Shes an angel of the first degree
Shes as sweet as tupelo honey
Just like the honey, baby, from the bee
Shes my baby, you know shes alright.....


Below is a verse he later added which applies to her;

Theres a rose pressed inside a bible
That she reads on the balcony
Shes sweet in slumber and Ive got her number
For the beginning of the century.


**********************************

Rainy Day People; Gordon Lightfoot

Rainy day people always seem to know when its time to call
Rainy day people dont talk, they just listen till theyve heard it all
Rainy day lovers dont lie when they tell ya theyve been down like you
Rainy day people dont mind if youre cryin a tear or two
If you get lonely, all you really need is that rainy day love
Rainy day people all know theres no sorrow they cant rise above
Rainy day lovers dont love any others, that would not be kind
Rainy day people all know how it hangs on a piece of mind

Rainy day lovers dont lie when they tell you, theyve been down there too
Rainy day people dont mind if youre cryin a tear or two.

Rainy day people always seem to know when youre feeling blue
High stepping strutters who land in the gutters sometimes need one too
Take it or leave it, or try to believe it
If youve been down too long

Rainy day lovers dont hide love inside they just pass it on
Rainy day lovers dont hide love inside they just pass it on

Hey Mud,
I've always been a lover of Tupelo Honey also.  Van Morrison has a wonderful ability to write beautiful love songs.  My favorite song of all time is Moondance.

Thanks for sharing those thoughts.  Mine are with you.

Hugs,

Brigid

Simple words have big messages don't they.
I just read this Audrey Hepburn quote:

People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out anyone.

Mr. Mud:

I hope Mrs. Mud is coping as she must and that you're finding strength and comfort too.

I hope your head is filled with music and your lives with supportive friends.

Please count me in...(you gotta have at least ONE liberal)  :)

(((Mud)))

Hops

awwwwww Muddy  :D,

So glad you started this lovey dovey thread! 

"All you need is love, love.  Love is all you need" imo
(and The Beatles's).

Reminds me of that really out to lunch family therapist we went to who ridiculed my having such faith in God by saying:

"It's like the Buddhists!  All the Buddhists do is sit around and looooooooooooove eachother.  Only problem with that is.......they're so busy sitting around looooooooooving eachother.....nothing ever gets done!!"

Why didn't I think to tell him they were doing the most important thing of all??  :roll:

So now, it's quite a joke and I have been known to yodel out:  "Let's all sit around and looooooooooove eachother!!", when someone asks what we should do next or what do you want to do?  :D

Thanks for passing "it" on Mud (wee heart icon please).

 :D Sela

Hey Mud,

Your emotions are palpable.  Isn't it great that we have songs to help us communicate when we, otherwise cannot?  With your songs, I can sense your deep love for your "honey."  I realize how special she is to you and I bet she's a million times worthy of such a tribute!

I pray you have some of "rainy day people" in your life there.  I'll be a rainy day person for you here on the board, if you need.

Stay special and strong, just the way you are Mud!!

Tiff

Thanks for such a sweet thread, Mud, and this picture of the two of you.

Best thoughts and blessings to you and Mrs. Mud.

In my love/music library, when I add Tupelo Honey & Rainy Day People...I get Shower the People (you love with love).

Or maybe that's just how I see you shining at each other.

Thank you to everyone.

It, and I don't mean love, is in her pelvis, spine, ribs and sternum.

I'm spent.

Oh no......

Mud, I am so sorry.

Words fail me. All I can do is sit with you both, and pray.
