I saw Lady Gaga who I love perform this song with Tony Bennett on an awards show it blew me away. 😘💕💕😎

Cheek to Cheek
Lady Gaga, Tony Bennett

Heaven, I’m in heaven
And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak
And I seem to find the happiness I seek
When we’re out together dancing cheek to cheek
Heaven, I’m in heaven
And the cares that hung around me through the week
Seem to vanish like a gambler’s lucky streak
When we’re out together dancing cheek to cheek
Oh, I love to climb a mountain
And reach the highest peak
(Me too)
But it doesn’t thrill me half as much as dancing cheek to cheek
And I love to go out fishing
In a river or a creek
But I don’t enjoy it half as much
As dancing cheek to cheek
Dance with me
I want my arm about you
That charm about you
Will carry me through
To heaven (Heaven)
Yes, I’m in heaven (I’m in heaven)
And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak
And I seem to find the…

Tony Bennett

“I Left My Heart In San Francisco”

The loveliness of Paris seems somehow sadly
The glory that was Rome is of another day
I’ve been terribly alone and forgotten in Manhattan
I’m going home to my city by the Bay

I left my heart in San Francisco
High on a hill, it calls to me
To be where little cable cars climb halfway to the stars
The morning fog may chill the air, I don’t care

My love waits there in San Francisco
Above the blue and windy sea
When I come home to you, San Francisco
Your golden sun will shine for me

Anthony Dominick Benedetto (born August 3, 1926), known professionally as Tony Bennett, is an American singer of traditional pop standards, big band, show tunes, and jazz. He is also a painter, having created works under his birth name that are on permanent public display in several institutions. He is the founder of the Frank Sinatra School of the Arts in Astoria, Queens, New York.

Born and raised in Astoria and Pyrites,New York to an Italian-American family, Bennett began singing at an early age. He fought in the final stages of World War II as a U.S. Army infantryman in the European Theater. Afterward, he developed his singing technique, signed with Columbia Records and had his first number-one popular song with “Because of You” in 1951. Several top hits such as “Rags to Riches” followed in early 1953. He then refined his approach to encompass jazz singing. He reached an artistic peak in the late 1950s with albums such as The Beat of My Heart and Basie Swings, Bennett Sings. In 1962, Bennett recorded his signature song, “I Left My Heart in San Francisco”. His career and personal life experienced an extended downturn during the height of the rock music era.

Bennett staged a comeback in the late 1980s and 1990s, putting out gold record albums again and expanding his reach to the MTV generation while keeping his musical style intact. He remains a popular and critically praised recording artist and concert performer to date. He has won 19 Grammy Awards (including a Lifetime Achievement Award, presented in 2001) and two Emmy Awards, and was named an NEA Jazz Master and a Kennedy Center Honoree. Bennett has sold over 50 million records worldwide.

In February 2021, it was revealed that Bennett was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease in 2016, though he has continued to record and perform.

Good afternoon, everything dry (as far as I know) in the house. It was one tiny pin hole that rust got through. Outside, we got about six inches of snow, enough to use the snow blower. It seems like as soon as all the snow melts, we get more this year. Last year we had almost nothing.🥶

Your bedroom sounds like the same setup as mine. Jake on his new bed on the floor by my side of the bed with a blanket covering all but his head – nice and cozy.💕 Husband is usually up before me so he feeds Jake and moves his bed so I can get out without killing myself.

Will probably go see mom and sis later in the week. Sis staying until the middle of March. Maybe by then Cali will be in better shape. One week from today, KC will be champs again, I hope.🏈🏆 Funny comic in our paper today. It shows a robot family sitting on the couch, calendar in the background dated February, 2164, and the TV saying “Welcome to Super Bowl CXCVIII and here comes Tom Brady!”🤣😂🤣

All’s well. They are sitting by the pool enjoying the sunshine. Wow, what a difference between the East and West coasts. It’s cold here. Just put the heat on. Temp tonight low 40s which to us feels like the 20s.

Working on husband’s closet. Will be washing the entire closet and then will use the Lysol on the woodwork. He uses shoeboxes for storage and now I’m laughing. He has no idea what is inside. Guess I will take those out and see what he is saving and then label the one’s he keeps. There are over 30 of these boxes. YIKES 😁😢 Me thinks I should go join Couz by the pool. He’s driving me to have a drink……..

@sheba2011

Still waiting to hear from cousin in Florida. They arrived yesterday to their rental and husband had some issues. Not sure how things are. I sent three e-mails since I do not have a phone number. Hopefully, she will answer soon. Meanwhile, it is cloudy. There is no sun peeking through the clouds and, it is becoming colder. I may put the heat on to get rid of the chill. I will write more later. Very worried. Very concerned. I think making the trip in less than 24 hours was not a good idea.

Decorating Life

Just as we consciously create an environment within our homes, we can consciously choose to decorate life itself with our particular energy

There are few things more thrilling than having a new house or an empty room to decorate. Our imaginations soar as we consider the many possibilities. In the same way, our lives offer us the opportunity to express ourselves within various contexts, to ask ourselves questions about what we want to see as we move through our days and how we want things to flow. Some people do this instinctively, moving through the various environments they inhabit and shifting the energy with their presence. These people have a knack for decorating life. This can be as simple as the way they dress, the way they speak, or the fact that they always bring a bouquet of wildflowers when they come for a visit.

As we move through the world, we make a statement, whether we intend to or not. We shift the energy one way when we enter a room dressed elegantly and simply, and another when we show up in bright, cheerful colors and a floppy hat. One is not better than the other. It is simply a question of the mood we wish to create. What we wear is just one choice we can focus on. The way we speak to people, or touch them, shifts the energy more profoundly than almost anything else. The words we speak and the tone in which we say them are the music we choose to play in the world that is our home. Some of us fill the space with passionate arias, others with healing hymns. Again, one is not better than the other. We are all called to contribute.

Just as we consciously create an environment within our homes, we can consciously choose to decorate life itself with our particular energy. Ideally, in doing so, we express our deeper selves, so that the adornments we add to the world make it more meaningful, more beautiful, and as welcoming as a beloved home. 😎

@kittengirl,
