Thoughtful Thursday

Music and love.

Love and music.

While Lisa at Clusterfook loves the Rolling Stones, and iMom loves Pearl Jam, and Asthma Girl has even been backstage (sorta) at a ZZ Top concert . . . the Baroness?

She's a crooner kind of gal.

Dean Martin, Tony Bennett, Frank Sinatra? Their voices are balm to my soul.

And, with you-know-what just around the corner, my thoughts this week turn to music and love.

One of my favorite love songs is by Sir Francis O'BlueEyes. Listening to it always reminds me of making dinner in our old house, and simultaneously being slow-danced around the kitchen by the hubster. Pretty sweet.

And yes, for your information, when I laugh - it wrinkles my nose.

(And my eyes)

(Big time)

So as an early valentine to all my beautiful readers, who I'm sure look fabulous tonight and every night, may I present:

The Way You Look Tonight
(Jerome Kerns and Dorothy Fields)

Some day, when I'm awfully low,
When the world is cold,
I will feel a glow just thinking of you...
And the way you look tonight.

Yes you're lovely, with your smile so warm
And your cheeks so soft,
There is nothing for me but to love you,
And the way you look tonight.

With each word your tenderness grows,
Tearing my fear apart...
And that laugh that wrinkles your nose,
It touches my foolish heart.

Lovely ... Never, ever change.
Keep that breathless charm.
Won't you please arrange it ?
'Cause I love you ... Just the way you look tonight.

Mm, Mm, Mm, Mm,
Just the way you look to-night.
