Dominus, tecum

Benedicta tu

Fructus ventris tui jesus
Ave maria
Maiden mild
Ah listen to a maidens prayer
For thou canst hear amid the wild
‘Tis thou
‘Tis thou can’t save amid despair
We slumber safely ’til the morrow
Though e’en by men outcast reviled
Oh maiden
See a maiden sorrow
Oh mother hear a suppliant child

Hang all the mistletoe I’m gonna get to know you better

“Do You Hear What I Hear?”
(feat. Whitney Houston)

Do you hear what I hear
Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy
“Do you hear what I hear?”
Ringing through the night, shepherd boy
“Do you hear what I hear?”

A song, a song, high above the tree
With a voice as a big as the sea
With a voice as big as the sea

Now said the shepherd boy to the mighty king
“Do you know what I know?”
“Do you know what I know?”
In your palace, warm, mighty king (mighty king, do you know)
“Do you know what I know?”

A child, a child, shivers in the cold
Let us bring him silver and gold
Let us bring him silver and gold (silver and gold)

Said the king (said the king), to the people everywhere (everywhere)
Oh yeah
Listen to what I say (listen to what I say)
Pray for peace, people everywhere
Listen to what I say (listen to what I say)
A child, a child, sleeping in the night
He will bring us goodness and light
He will bring us goodness and light

Silent Night
The Miracles

Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon Virgin Mother and Child
Holy Infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace
Silent night, holy night
Shepherds quake at the sight
Glories stream from heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing hallelujah
Christ, the Saviour is born
Christ, the Saviour is born
Silent night, holy night
Son of God, pure pure light
Radiant beams from Thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace
Jesus Christ, at Thy birth, at Thy birth
Jesus Christ, at Thy birth
Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon Virgin Mother and Child
Holy Infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly, sleep in heavenly peace

“Baby, It’s Cold Outside”

I really can’t stay
But baby it’s cold outside
I’ve got to go ‘way
But baby it’s cold outside
This evening has been
Been hoping that you’d drop in
So very nice
I’ll hold your hands they’re just like ice.

My mother will start to worry
Beautiful what’s your hurry?
And father will be pacing the floor
Listen to the fireplace roar
So really I’d better scurry
Beautiful please don’t hurry
Well maybe just a half a drink more
Put some music on while I pour.

The neighbors might think
But baby it’s bad out there
Say what’s in this drink
No cabs to be had out there
I wish I knew how
Your eyes are like starlight now
To break this spell
I’ll take your hat your hair looks swell.

I oughta say no no no sir
Mind if I move a bit closer?
At least I’m gonna say that I tried
What’s the sense of hurting my pride
I really can’t stay
Oh baby don’t hold out
Ah, but it’s cold outside
Baby it’s cold outside

I simply must go

But baby it’s cold outside
The answer is no
Ooh baby it’s cold outside
The welcome has been
How lucky that you dropped in
So nice and warm
Look out the window at that storm.

My sister will be suspicious
My your lips look delicious
My brother will be there at the door
Waves upon a tropical shore
My maiden aunt’s mind is vicious
Gosh your lips are delicious
Well maybe just a half-a-drink more
Never such a blizzard before.

I’ve got to get home
But baby you’d freeze out there
Say lend me a comb
It’s up to your knees out there
You’ve really been grand
I thrill when you touch my hand
But don’t you see
How can you do this thing to me?

There’s bound to be talk tomorrow
Think of my lifelong sorrow
At least there will be plenty implied
If you caught pneumonia and died
I really can’t stay
Get over that old doubt,
Ah, but it’s cold outside
Baby it’s cold outside

It’s cold out side.
It’s cold out side.

@sheba2011

Good afternoon to you. I will have tea and I wish all of the above was on my table. Ran to the grocery store and drug store this morning and that’s about it. Pretty much a no nothing weekend. Should warm up a little next week which will be nice since it’s only in the 30’s now.

Will have the game on tonight, you know who I will be rooting for.🏈👍 Stay warm with Poppy by the fire.🔥

The Sound of Silence
Song by Simon & Garfunkel

Hello darkness, my old friend
I’ve come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence
In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
‘Neath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence
And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share
No one dared
Disturb the sound of silence
“Fools” said I, “You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you”
But my words like silent raindrops fell
And echoed in the wells of silence
And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said, “The words of the prophets
Are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls
And whispered in the sounds of silence”

I Am a Rock
Song by Simon & Garfunkel

A winter’s day
In a deep and dark December
I am alone
Gazing from my window to the streets below
On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow
I am a rock
I am an island
I’ve built walls
A fortress deep and mighty
That none may penetrate
I have no need of friendship; friendship causes pain
It’s laughter and it’s loving I disdain
I am a rock
I am an island
Don’t talk of love
Well I’ve heard the word before
It’s sleeping in my memory
I won’t disturb the slumber of feelings that have died
If I never loved I never would have cried
I am a rock
I am an island
I have my books
And my poetry to protect me
I am shielded in my armor
Hiding in my room, safe within my womb
I touch no one and no one touches me
I am a rock
I am an island
And a rock feels no pain
And an island never cries
