I’ve Grown Accustomed to Her Face
Song by Rex Harrison

! ! ! !
I’ve grown accustomed to her face
She almost makes the day begin
I’ve grown accustomed to the tune that
She whistles night and noon
Her smiles, her frowns
Her ups, her downs
Are second nature to me now
Like breathing out and breathing in
I was serenely independent and content before we met
Surely I could always be that way again
And yet
I’ve grown accustomed to her look
Accustomed to her voice
Accustomed to her face
I can see her now, Mrs. Freddy Eynsford-Hill
In a wretched little flat above a store
I can see her now, not a penny in the till
And a bill collector beating at the door
She’ll try to teach the things I taught her
And end up selling flowers instead
Begging for her bread and water
While her husband has his breakfast in bed.
In a year, or so, when she’s prematurely grey
And the blossom in her cheek has turned to chalk
She’ll come home, and lo, he’ll have upped and run away
With a social-climbing heiress from New York
Poor Eliza. How simply frightful
How humiliating! How delightful
How poignant it’ll be on that inevitable night
When she hammers on my door in tears and rags
Miserable and lonely, repentant and contrite
Will I take her in or hurl her to the walls
Give her kindness or the treatment she deserves
Will I take her back or throw the baggage out
But I’m a most forgiving man
The sort who never could, ever would
Take a position and staunchly never budge
A most forgiving man
But, I shall never take her back
If she were even crawling on her knees
Let her promise to atone
Let her shiver, let her moan
I’ll slam the door and let the -cat freeze
But I’m so used to hear her say
Good morning everyday
Her joys, her woes
Her highs, her lows
Are second nature to me now
Like breathing out and breathing in
I’m very grateful she’s a woman
And so easy to forget
Rather like a habit
One can always break
And yet
I’ve grown accustomed to the trace
Of something in the air
Accustomed to her face

My Fair Lady – The Rain In Spain

Quit, professor Higgins
Quit, professor Higgins
Hear our plea or payday, we will quitAy, not I, “O” not “Ow”
Pounding pounding in our brain
“Ay” not “I”, O not “Ow”
Don’t say “Rine,” say “Rain”
The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plainBy George, she’s got it
By George, she’s got it
Now, once again where does it rain?
On the plain On the plainAnd where’s that soggy plain?
In Spain In Spain
The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain
The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain

In Hartford, Hereford, and Hampshire?
Hurricanes hardly happenHow kind of you to let me come
Now once again, where does it rain?
On the plain, on the plainAnd where’s that blasted plain?
In Spain, in Spain
The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain
The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain

I Could Have Danced All Night – My Fair Lady

Bed, bed I couldn’t go to bed
My head’s too light to try to set it down
Sleep, sleep I couldn’t sleep tonight
Not for all the jewels in the crown
I could have danced all night
I could have danced all night
And still have begged for more
I could have spread my wings and done a thousand things
I’ve never done before
I’ll never know what made it so exciting
Why all at once my heart took flight
I only know when he began to dance with me
I could have danced, danced, danced all night
It’s after three now
Don’t you agree now?
She ought to be in bed!
I could have danced all night, I could have danced all night
And still have begged for more
I could have spread my wings and done a thousand things
I’ve never done before
I’ll never know what made it so exciting
Why all at once my heart took flight
I only know when he began to dance with me
I could have danced, danced, danced all night
I understand, dear
It’s all been grand, dear
But now it’s time to sleep
I could have danced all night, I could have danced all night
And still have begged for more
I could have spread my wings and done a thousand things
I’ve never done before
I’ll never know what made it so exciting
Why all at once my heart took flight
I only know when he began to dance with me
I could have danced, danced, danced all night

On the Street Where You Live
Song by John Michael King

When she mentioned how her aunt
Bit off the spoon, she completely done me in
And my heart went on a journey to the moon
When she told about her father and the gin
And I never saw a more enchanting farce
Than the moment when she shouted, “Move your bloomin'”
I have often walked down this street before
But the pavement always stayed beneath my feet before
All at once am I several stories high
Knowing I’m on the street where you live
Are there lilac trees in the heart of town?
Can you hear a lark in any other part of town?
Does enchantment pour out of every door?
No it’s just on the street where you live
And oh the towering feeling
Just to know somehow you are near
The overpowering feeling
That any second you may suddenly appear
People stop and stare, they don’t bother me
For there’s nowhere else on earth that I would rather be
Let the time go by, I won’t care
If I can be here on the street where you live

Club Sheba

@toberkins,

No harm done I am known by many names in the HSN Community all given to me by
Community members. 🤣I am known as shebaDaus, Shebs, Sheeba and Queen Sheba
for having a vast amount of jewelry. 😎

Fun fact my name Sheba is my beloved dog Sheba she passed in 2011 that is how I got
my log on name. I miss my dog more than I can say.

I do think your thread was removed by HSN. The only way anyone can answer is for you
to contact them in Customer Service. 🌹

Sheba2011, Once again I want to apologize to you for using the incorrect spelling (Sheeba2011) in my post four hours ago asking for your help again. You must really think I’m a ditz. Sincere apologies.

@toberkins,

I am sorry watching Heidi Daus. I just looked at your post. I have not seen the thread
since I posted on it yesterday.

I have a feeling HSN may have removed it for some of the links.

I would contact Customer Service and find out from them what you can and cannot
post.

I hope this is helpful. 🌹

“Ive grown accustomed to this place. The ups and downs, the merry go rounds , that makes the day begin.” “I’ve grown accustomed to this place.” Oh well….At first I was in a real hurry to head North. Today, not so much. I can wait to sit in the car for 6-7 hours each day, to stop at rest areas that may not be so clean, to stay at motels/hotels which we aren’t sure of, and then after driving so long, to get back into the car and look for somewhere to eat. I think a three hour+ plane ride may now be in the works on the return and anything I do not want to carry can be sent ahead through UPS.

Today I finally decided to put together a dish drainer rack. It’s a double decker. Cute. I could not find directions for putting it together, so went to the web store and found a video. It wasn’t until I pulled out the drip trays that I found directions. The drip trays are attached to each level.
Now there is no excuse for the water to go everywhere. Plus, it takes up less room giving us more counter space which is surely needed.

Hubby had another nightmare last night. He also was speaking in another language and claimed there were images in the room. Scary for me as well. But, at least, he did not fall out of bed. I wish I had an explanation for this because it is not the first time for the occurrence. He has no memory. The only question he asked was if he was speaking in a foreign language.

Well, it is almost time for Heidi. I have a few things in favorites that I’m watching very closely. Credit card needs to rest, but not sure how long I can hold out. 😂😂😂😂

I need to phone my physician as well since I just had the Covid vaccine and need to make a Mam appointment as well. Looks like if you have to wait at least two months my appointment will have to be in July/August. It will be a nice break for a return trip to spend a week or two. I can live with that. 😍😍😍😍

Hi Sheeba2011, I sure hope you are having a wonderful day. It’s bright & sunny here in California. Seems more like summer is starting already. Well, just as I thought, I have another posting question for you. Is there a reason why I can not find the thread that I setup the other day? I thought I could do a search for it, but it only takes me to the post that I had put in your thread. Thank you.
