“Night Fever”

Listen to the ground:
there is movement all around.
There is something goin’ down
and I can feel it.

On the waves of the air,
there is dancin’ out there.
If it’s somethin’ we can share,
we can steal it.

And that sweet city woman,
she moves through the light,
controlling my mind and my soul.
When you reach out for me
yeah, and the feelin’ is bright,

then I get night fever, night fever.
We know how to do it.
Gimme that night fever, night fever.
We know how to show it.

Here I am,
prayin’ for this moment to last,
livin’ on the music so fine,
borne on the wind,
makin’ it mine.

Night fever, night fever.
We know how to do it.
Gimme that night fever, night fever.
We know how to show it.

In the heat of our love,
don’t need no help for us to make it.
Gimme just enough to take us to the mornin’.
I got fire in my mind.
I got higher in my walkin’.
And I’m glowin’ in the dark;
I give you warnin’.

And that sweet city woman,
she moves through the light,
controlling my mind and my soul.
When you reach out for me
yeah, and the feelin’ is bright,

then I get night fever, night fever.
We know how to do it.
Gimme that night fever, night fever.
We know how to show it.

Here I am,
prayin’ for this moment to last,
livin’ on the music so fine,
borne on the wind,
makin’ it mine.

Night fever, night fever.
We know how to do it.
Gimme that night fever, night fever.
We know how to show it.

“Spirits (Having Flown)”

I never fell in love so easily
Where the four winds blow I carry on
I’d like to take you where my spirit flies
Through the empty skies we go alone
Never before having flown

Faster than light’ning is this heart of mine
In the face of time I carry on
I’d like to take you where my rainbow ends
Be my lover friend, we go alone
Never before having flown

I am your hurricane
Your fire in the sun
How long must I live in the air
You are my paradise
My angel on the run
How long must I wait
It’s the dawn of the feeling
That starts from the moment you’re there

You’ll never know what you have done for me
You broke up all those rules I live upon
I’d like to take you to my Shangri La
Neither here or far away from home
Never before having flown

I am your hurricane
Your fire in the sun
How long must I live in the air
You are my paradise
My angel on the run
How long must I wait
It’s the dawn of the feeling
That starts from the moment you’re there

There I’d like to take you where my spirit flies
Through the empty skies we go alone
Never before having flown

The Temptations
“The Way You Do The Things You Do”

You’ve got a smile so bright, you know you could have been a candle
I’m holding you so tight, you know you could have been a handle
The way you swept me off my feet, you know you could have been a broom
The way you smell so sweet, you know you could have been some perfume

Well, you could have been anything that you wanted to
And I can tell, the way you do the things you do

As pretty as you are, you know you could have been a flower
If good looks was a minute, you know that you could be an hour
The way you stole my heart, you know you could have been a crook
And baby you’re so smart, you know you could have been a schoolbook

[Chorus]

You made my heart so rich, you know you could have been some money
And baby you’re so sweet, you know you could have been some honey

[Chorus]

You really swept me off my feet, you made my life complete
You made my life so bright, you make me feel alright

The Temptations
“Just My Imagination (Running Away With Me)”

Ooo
Each day through my window I watch her as she passes by
I say to myself, you’re such a lucky guy
To have a girl like her is truly a dream come true
Out of all the fellas in the world, she belongs to you

But it was just my ‘magination, running away with me
It was just my ‘magination, running away with me

(Soon) Soon we’ll be married and raise a family. (Oh, yeah)
A cozy little home out in the country with two children, maybe three
I tell you, I can visualize it all. This couldn’t be a dream, for too real it all seems

But it was just my ‘magination, once again
Running away with me
Tell you it was just my ‘magination
Running away with me

[Paul:] Every night on my knees I pray

Dear Lord, hear my plea
Don’t ever let another take her love from me
Or I will surely die. Hmm

(Her love is) heavenly
When her arms enfold me
I hear a tender rhapsody
But in reality, she doesn’t even know me

Just my ‘magination, once again
Running away with me
Oh, tell you it was just my ‘magination
Running away with me

I never met her but I can’t forget her
Just my ‘magination
Ooo yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Running away with me

Ooo, just my ‘magination running away with me
She’s in my mind and hard to find
Just my ‘magination

The Temptations
“My Girl”

I’ve got sunshine on a cloudy day.
When it’s cold outside I’ve got the month of May.

I guess you’d say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl (my girl, my girl)
Talkin’ ’bout my girl (my girl).

I’ve got so much honey the bees envy me.
I’ve got a sweeter song than the birds in the trees.

Well, I guess you’d say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl (my girl, my girl)
Talkin’ ’bout my girl (my girl).

Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
Ooooh.

I don’t need no money, fortune or fame.
I’ve got all the riches, baby, one man can claim.

Well, I guess you’d say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl (my girl, my girl)
Talkin’ ’bout my girl (my girl).

I’ve got sunshine on a cloudy day
With my girl.
I’ve even got the month of May
With my girl
Talkin’ ’bout
Talkin’ ’bout
Talkin’ ’bout
My girl
Ooooh
My girl
As long as I can talk about my girl…

@loaf,

One of the Temptations passed today or yesterday. Oh wow memories.

In Awe of Beauty

All we have to do is look for beauty, and she is there all around us at any given moment.

Beauty speaks to us in soft whispers or bold declarations. She calls on us to gaze in awe at her splendor. We are enticed by beauty. We adore her, idolize her, and even court her. Beauty seduces all of our senses. Beauty’s seduction can be as obvious as the striking good looks of a man or woman or as subtle as the charms of a shaggy dog with loving brown eyes. We find beauty in the wonders of nature. Beauty offers us a symphony of colors with every sunrise and sunset and reveals to us her brash power through a storm at sea. Beauty teases us through the shy smile of a child and delights us via the brilliant flashes of fireworks. Beauty sometimes piques all of our senses at once, appealing to our taste buds, as well as our eyes and nose, when she appears in the form of a deliciously baked cake. Beauty calms us with floral scents and excites our aural lust through the passionate sounds made by an orchestra.

Beauty can be cruel, and our pursuit of her can be in vain. We may go to the opera in anticipation of finding beauty there, and she may bore and disappoint us. Instead, beauty lavishes her attention on another suitor who may be more appreciative of her charms. Or, we may try to capture beauty’s essence in a photograph, painting, or sculpture, and still she is nowhere to be found. Beauty will forever inspire works of art, and she will always pose for her portrait, selecting the artist who is most worthy of her catching her likeness.

Depending on our personal tastes, beauty can be found in every color, flavor, scent, and texture. She lives among the poor, as well as the rich, and appears in the faces of the young and the old. She is at home in the city, as well as the country, decorating skylines as well as landscapes. She is the ultimate shape shifter. Beauty is a weather beaten barn beloved by one person and an awesome testament of naval craftsmanship revered by another. Beauty knows no bounds, and we can find her everywhere. All we have to do is look for beauty, and she is there.

This is my look for today. 🙂
