Just the same...we'll go to Capri in July



Capri in July

I said July, remember? We’ll go to Capri in July. You’ll love me more beneath the sun, it hides my every flaw even my renaissance stomach.

I have grown so old loving you in such a little time. I’ve let my eyes grow dull my smile become suspect I know you won’t believe it but...sometimes when I’m by myself, people look at me in the old way. When you look at me now I know I’m not the way I was.

In Capri they have so many beaches, little coves you can hike down the cliffs to. There’s always someplace where nobody else goes and the water is so blue.

I’ve tried to stop pretending that it will be all right again, it won’t you know but just the same we’ll go to Capri in July.

THE EMBEDDING FOR THIS HAS BEEN DISABLED SO YOU'LL HAVE TO WATCH

IT ON YOU TUBE. IT'S STILL A GREAT "FEEL GOOD MOMENT!"

k.d. lang sings Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah



 "Hallelujah"
 
I heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?
It goes like this
The fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew you
She tied you to a kitchen chair
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Baby I have been here before
I know this room, I've walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew you.
I've seen your flag on the marble arch
Love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Maybe there’s a God above
But all I’ve ever learned from love
Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you
It’s not a cry you can hear at night
It’s not somebody who has seen the light
It’s a cold and it’s a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
