Elton John – Your Song

It’s a little bit funny, this feeling inside
I’m not one of those who can easily hide
I don’t have much money, but, boy, if I did
I’d buy a big house where we both could live

If I was a sculptor, heh, but then again, no
Or a man who makes potions in a traveling show
I know it’s not much, but it’s the best I can do
My gift is my song, and this one’s for you

And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple, but now that it’s done
I hope you don’t mind, I hope you don’t mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you’re in the world

I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss
Well, a few of the verses, well, they’ve got me quite cross
But the sun’s been quite kind while I wrote this song
It’s for people like you that keep it turned on

So excuse me forgetting, but these things I do
You see, I’ve forgotten if they’re green or they’re blue
Anyway, the thing is, what I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes I’ve ever seen

And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple, but now that it’s done
I hope you don’t mind, I hope you don’t mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you’re in the world

I hope you don’t mind, I hope you don’t mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you’re in the world

Elton John
“Candle In The Wind 1997”

Goodbye England’s rose
May you ever grow in our hearts
You were the grace that placed itself
Where lives were torn apart
You called out to our country
And you whispered to those in pain
Now you belong to heaven
And the stars spell out your name

And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never fading with the sunset
When the rain set in
And your footsteps will always fall here
Along England’s greenest hills
Your candle’s burned out long before
Your legend ever will

Loveliness we’ve lost
These empty days without your smile
This torch, we’ll always carry
For our nation’s golden child
And even though we try
The truth brings us to tears
All our words cannot express
The joy you brought us through the years

And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never fading with the sunset
When the rain set in
And your footsteps will always fall here
Along England’s greenest hills
Your candle’s burned out long before
Your legend ever will

Goodbye England’s rose
May you ever grow in our hearts
You were the grace that placed itself
Where lives were torn apart
Goodbye England’s rose
From a country lost without your soul
Who’ll miss the wings of your compassion
More than you will ever know

And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never fading with the sunset
When the rain set in
And your footsteps will always fall here
Along England’s greenest hills
Your candle’s burned out long before
Your legend ever will

And your footsteps will always fall here
Along England’s greenest hills
Your candle’s burned out long before
Your legend ever will

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road
Elton John

When are you gonna come down?
When are you going to land?
I should have stayed on the farm
I should have listened to my old man
You know you can’t hold me forever
I didn’t sign up with you
I’m not a present for your friends to open
This boy’s too young to be singing
The blues, ah, ah
So goodbye yellow brick road
Where the dogs of society howl
You can’t plant me in your penthouse
I’m going back to my plough
Back to the howling old owl in the woods
Hunting the horny back toad
Oh, I’ve finally decided my future lies
Beyond the yellow brick road
Ah, ah
What do you think you’ll do then?
I bet they’ll shoot down the plane
It’ll take you a couple of vodka and tonics
To set you on your feet again
Maybe you’ll get a replacement
There’s plenty like me to be found
Mongrels who ain’t got a penny
Sniffing for tidbits like you
On the ground, ah, ah
So goodbye yellow brick road
Where the dogs of society howl
You can’t plant me in your penthouse
I’m going back to my plough
Back to the howling old owl in the woods
Hunting the horny back toad
Oh, I’ve finally decided my future lies
Beyond the yellow brick road
Ah, ah

Club Sheba

Hi Again. I just tried something new for doing the kitchen floor and while I wait, decided to read the news. Three times I came across the weather for tonight and tomorrow. Better keep that radio on for some bad weather. Not sure of tornados, but do not rule it out.

Hubby spilled something on our comforter and just went to the laundry room to see if I can get the stain out. In doing so, happened to glance outside and saw the most beautiful cloud being shined on by the sun. It was the most gorgeous shade of pink I have ever seen. Next time I will get the camera. Well, first I have to set it up then once I do the pic, need to learn how to upload it to you. One of these days I will learn the how tos”. Have not seen the spoonbill lately. Guess he/she flew towards Naples where it’s warmer or maybe it took a Caribbean cruise. I could just picture it doing a wing up for a ride. I have faith that your labs will be A++++.

Take care and please be safe.

Good afternoon Sheba, I hope this finds you having a wonderful Sunday.
It’s a hot and muggy day here, hard to be out for any period of time.
The plants certainly liked that showers we received along with the Sunshine. There’s lots of buds on the Hibiscus. Also the butterfly flower I got from QVC light years ago has beautiful flowers and its smells amazing. The milkweed has been spreading their seeds all over, the seeds are starting to sprout.
Take Care Sheba 🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻

The kitchen and bar are done, finite, over, etc.etc.. Working on the dining room/area. It’s almost done. Then the great room and the den. I will be replacing the loveseat that is in the den with another one that will be easier to get in and out of. Right now, you sort of sink, or should I say, almost sink to the floor. That is also true of the furniture in the Great Room/Living Room.

Oh, I tried something different this morning for breakfast. Hubby picked up a pizza from Aldi’s. I decided to cut into it and make it in the air fryer. It came out heavenly and yes, I did add some extra things to the top. It still tasted like it came from a pizza place. Also took no time to make it. And here I was really going to make a lox and onion omelet.

The air purifier came late yesterday afternoon/early evening. Hubby could not wait to try it out.
However, he plugged it in and it does run, however I made him unplug it immediately. I had to read the directions first and guess what, we should have. This whole thing inside and out can be cleaned with a damp cloth. The filters also. However, before plugging in, we needed to remove the plastic inside the machine. So easy. Best part you can set it to turn off and turn on automatically. And, it is so lightweight. Too bad the boxes were heavy and cumbersome. I will be using it as I work in the dining area. Also will not have to move it while doing the great room or the kitchen floor. No, this one does not have the UV.. Before purchasing I had looked at the ones that include the UV for getting rid of bacteria in the air. But also discovered that it adds carbon which we do not need. Actually, the UV should not even be part of the machine. I think I spent over five hours comparing air purifiers prior to purchasing.

It’s a very sunny day in Florida. Temps are in the 80s and low 70s at night. Best part is that the pollen count is in the threes, which means sinuses are not as bad. Cough is still there, but no meds needed. That is a real good sign.

Yes, this week is quite busy. Hospital visit for tests, Orthopedist visit on Friday, Furniture on Wednesday and sometime this week a haircut for hubby and one for me as well. I will be contacting Spectrum tomorrow for an appointment. I delayed this because we are still living out of boxes and the cable has to be changed not only in the house but outside as well. Right now their WiFi goes in and out and the cable is non-existent. They will also set up the new TV in the great room, but I have to remove everything in the entertainment area before hand. That goes for the top as well. Reason is because the middle portion has to be moved so they can get into the back. The sides of this unit does come a part which hubby and I will do prior. Again, more “stuff” to go through and donate.

Have a great evening. Hopefully, the rain will end and you will be able to see the moon on your walk with Poppy. Oh, forgot to congratulate you on a great Mam and Bone Density. Walking does help. Actually all exercise is great for those bones. I will not let myself become a “{couch potato.” That’s a given.

Sunday Morning
Song by Maroon 5

Yeah
Sunday morning, rain is falling
Steal some covers, share some skin
Clouds are shrouding us in moments unforgettable
You twist to fit the mold that I am in
But things just get so crazy
Living life gets hard to do
And I would gladly hit the road, get up and go if I knew
That someday it would lead me back to you
That someday it would lead me back to you
That may be all I need
In darkness she is all I see
Come and rest your bones with me
Driving slow on Sunday morning
Well I never want to leave
Yeah, fingers trace your every outline, oh yeah, yeah
Yeah, aint a picture with my hands, ohh!
And back and forth we sway like branches in a storm
Change the weather still together when it ends
That may be all I need
In darkness she is all I see
Come and rest your bones with me
Driving slow on Sunday morning
And I never want to leave
Yeah
Oh yeah
But things just get so crazy living life gets hard to do (life gets hard)
Sunday morning rain is falling and I’m calling out to you
Singing someday it’ll bring me back to you, yeah (someday oh, someday oh)
Find a way to bring myself back home to you
You may not know
That may be all I need
In darkness she is all I see (you are all I see)
Come and rest your bones with me
Driving slow on Sunday morning, driving slow
Yeah, yeah
Ah, yeah, yeah
Ah, yeah, yeah
Ah, yeah, yeah
Ah, yeah, yeah
Ah, yeah, yeah
And a flower in your hair
I’m a flower in your hair
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, woah, yeah
