The Beat Goes On
Sonny & Cher

The beat goes on, the beat goes on
Drums keep pounding a rhythm to the brain
La de da de de, la de da de da
Charleston was once the rage, uh huh
History has turned the page, uh huh
The mini skirts, the current thing, uh huh
Teenybopper is our newborn king, uh huh
And the beat goes on, the beat goes on
Drums keep pounding a rhythm to the brain
La de da de de, la de da de da
The grocery store’s the super mart, uh huh
Little girls still break their hearts, uh huh
And men still keep on marching off to war
Electrically they keep a baseball score
And the beat goes on, the beat goes on
Drums keep pounding a rhythm to the brain
La de da de de, la de da de da
Grandmas sit in chairs and reminisce
Boys keep chasing girls to get a kiss
The cars keep going faster all the time
Bums still cry, “Hey buddy, have you got a dime?”
And the beat goes on, the beat goes on
Drums keep pounding a rhythm to the brain
La de da de de, la de da de da
And the beat goes on, yes, the beat goes on
And the beat goes on, and the beat goes on
The beat goes on, and the beat goes on

Cher/Sonny – I Got You Babe

HER: They say we’re young and we don’t know
We won’t find out until we grow
HIM: Well I don’t know if all that’s true
‘Cause you got me, and baby I got you
.
HIM: Babe
BOTH: I got you babe, I got you babe
.
HER: They say our love won’t pay the rent
Before it’s earned, our money’s all been spent
HIM: I guess that’s so, we don’t have a plot
But at least I’m sure of all the things we got
.
HIM: Babe
BOTH: I got you babe, I got you babe
.
HIM: I got flowers in the spring
I got you to wear my ring
HER: And when I’m sad, you’re a clown
And if I get scared, you’re always around
HER: So let them say your hair’s too long
‘Cause I don’t care, with you I can’t go wrong
HIM: Then put your little hand in mine
There ain’t no hill or mountain we can’t climb
.
HIM: Babe
BOTH: I got you babe, I got you babe
.
HIM: I got you to hold my hand
HER: I got you to understand
HIM: I got you to walk with me
HER: I got you to talk with me
HIM: I got you to kiss goodnight
HER: I got you to hold me tight
HIM: I got you, I won’t let go
HER: I got you to love me so
.
BOTH: I got you babe
I got you babe
I got you babe
I got you babe
I got you babe

Sonny & Cher
“Half-Breed”

My father married a pure Cherokee
My mother’s people were ashamed of me
The Indians said I was white by law
The white man always called me
“Indian Squaw”

Half-breed, that’s all I ever heard
Half-breed, how I learned to hate the word
Half-breed, she’s no good they warned
Both sides were against me
Since the day I was born

We never settled, went from town to town
When you’re not welcome you don’t hang around
The other children always laughed at me
“Give her a feather, she’s a Cherokee”

We weren’t accepted and I felt ashamed
Nineteen I left them, tell me who’s to blame
My life since then has been from man to man
But I can’t run away from what I am

Believe
Cher

After love, after love
After love, after love
After love, after love
No matter how hard I try
You keep pushing me aside
And I can’t break through
There’s no talking to you
So sad that you’re leaving
It takes time to believe it
But after all is said and done
You’re gonna be the lonely one, oh
Do you believe in life after love?
I can feel something inside me say
I really don’t think you’re strong enough now
Do you believe in life after love?
I can feel something inside me say
I really don’t think you’re strong enough now
What am I supposed to do?
Sit around and wait for you?
Well, I can’t do that
There’s no turning back
I need time to move on
I need love to feel strong
‘Cause I’ve had time to think it through
And maybe I’m too good for you, oh
Do you believe in life after love?
I can feel something inside me say
I really don’t think you’re strong enough now
Do you believe in life after love?
I can feel something inside me say
I really don’t think you’re strong enough now
Well, I know that I’ll get through this
‘Cause I know that I am strong
I don’t need you anymore
Oh, I don’t need you anymore
I don’t need you anymore
No, I don’t need you anymore
Do you believe in life after love?
I can feel something inside me say
I really don’t think you’re strong enough now
Do you believe in life after love?
I can feel something inside me say
I really don’t think you’re strong enough now
Do you believe in life after love?
I can feel something inside me say
I really don’t think you’re strong enough now
Do you believe in life after love?
I can feel something inside me say
I really don’t think you’re strong enough now

@sheba2011

Thank you for the slice of chocolate birthday/anniversary cake from ddshoppy. What a beautiful day to celebrate. Since the both of us are chocolate lovers, we will make it last for days to come.
Yum!!!!!😂😍🎂🍰🍨

The humidity here is almost 100%. Sunny. Temp is now 95. A slight chance of showers today and tomorrow. We are definitely in a drought situation.

Cannot believe that today is Wednesday. Trivia is in a couple of days. I am amazed that the group enjoys the chat portion. I remember becoming a member when Trekky was hosting. The game has grown some since then. Love the challenges and hopefully we will see more of that when the changes are made. Hope the game continues when the changes are finalized.

Tomorrow is our shopping day. Looking forward to the Farmer’s Market. You should be seeing the Dragon fruit real soon. I am totally surprised that the Oriental Markets do not carry it. We will definitely carry a couple back North with us when the time comes.

As you know, Covid has to run it’s course. It takes about a week to ten days to start to feel better. You are still not yourself, but able to move around and do some things. Soup and easy to swallow things are best. Tea is good. Hubby loved ice cream. The sense of smell and taste do return but may take awhile. I’m saying this so she doesn’t give up in case it doesn’t. For some it can take months and others just days. And, yes, you can get it again especially if there are offshoots that the vaccine doesn’t cover. However, I have been told that the vaccine may prevent the full fledge effects and therefore a milder version ensues. Don’t hold me to this. I am trying to stay healthy. We wear our masks, social distance and wash our hands often. We just hope and pray that the hotels/motels we stay in are doing the same to keep their patrons out of trouble. Next week I will start planning the trip.

Afraid To Meditate

If you want to meditate but don’t, ask yourself why you would put off something so beneficial to your well-being.

There are times when we feel the pull to meditate but are swayed from it by the excuses that spring to mind. We may think that we are too busy, have no time to ourselves, or that we do not have the right place to meditate. Our minds can think of dozens of reasons to put off meditation. But those are even stronger reasons to look past the illusion of the hustle and bustle of daily life and to connect to the place within that intersects with the timeless power and limitless potential of the universe. From that place we can experience that potent stillness that exists at all times, and it is only as far as away as our breath.

It might be useful to ask yourself why you would put off something so beneficial to your peace of mind and general well-being. There may be fear that if you were to stop your frantic pace, your world might fall apart, and then you would have to face the undeniable reality of who you really are and the results of the choices you have made. You might be afraid that you will be forced to make huge changes in order to align yourself with the universe and harness your true potential. Sometimes the frustrations of the known world seem less scary than the possibilities of the unknown. But the truth is that when we cooperate with the universe by creating our lives from the truth of our being, life becomes less of a struggle and more of a process of living blissfully on purpose.

Finding yourself alone for a few moments can give you the opportunity to turn within to infuse a sense of calm wisdom to your work. Whenever you can take the time to recenter and refocus, it will remind you how beneficial it is to connect to your source. Then you will make the time for longer sojourns of spirit, because once you are rejuvenated and enlivened by knowing that you are made of energy and light, you can channel the power to create your life in alignment with the highest potential of your soul. 😎
