A Million Dreams

I close my eyes and I can see 

The world that’s waiting up for me

That I call my own

Through the dark, through the door

Through where no one’s been before

But it feels like home

🎼

They can say, they can say it all sounds crazy

They can say, they can say I’ve lost my mind

I don’t care, I don’t care, so call me crazy

We can live in a world that we design

🎼

’Cause every night I lie in bed

The brightest colors fill my head

A million dreams are keeping me awake

I think of what the world could be

A vision of the one I see

A million dreams is all it’s gonna take

A million dreams for the world we’re gonna make

🎼

There’s a house we can build

Every room inside is filled

With things from far away

The special things I compile 

Each one there to make you smile

On a rainy day

🎼

They can say, they can say it all sounds crazy

They can say, they can say we’ve lost our minds

I don’t care, I don’t care if they call us crazy

Runaway to a world that we design

🎼

Every night I lie in bed

The brightest colors fill my head

A million dreams are keeping me awake

I think of what the world could be

A vision of the one I see

A million dreams is all it’s gonna take

A million dreams for the world we’re gonna make

🎼

However big, however small

Let me be part of it all

Share your dreams with me

You  may be right, you may be wrong 

But day that you’ll bring me along

To the world you see 

To the world I close my eyes to see

I close my eyes to see

🎼

Every night I lie in bed

The brightest colors in my head

A million dreams are keeping me awake 

A million dreams, a million dreams

I think of what the world could be

A vision of the one I see

A million dreams is all it’s gonna take

A million dreams for the world we’re gonna make

🎼

For the world we’re gonna make.

Lovely Lyrical Lines ~ Hushabye Mountain

Tags

Dick Van Dyke, Hushabye Mountain, Lovely Lyrical Lines, Robert and Richard Sherman

Today was a bit of a rough day, and I was sitting in my chair just trying to zone out when this song started playing in the background of a tv show. Hushabye Mountain has always been a comforting and soothing song for me since I first heard Dick Van Dyke sing it in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. So for any of you who also had a Manic Monday, here it is.

A gentle breeze from Hushabye Mountain 

Softly blows o’er lullaby bay.

It fills the sails of boats that are waiting—

Waiting to sail your worries away.

It isn’t far to Hushabye Mountain 

And your boats wait down by the quay.

The winds of night so softly are sighing—

Soon they will fly your troubles to sea.

So close your eyes on Hushabye Mountain.

Wave good-bye to the cares of the day.

And watch your boat from a Hushabye Mountain 

Sail far away from lullaby bay.

~ Robert and Richard Sherman ~

A Wrinkle in Time, Lovely Lyrical Lines, Madeleine L'Engle

It seemed to travel with her, to sweep her aloft in the power of song, so that she was moving in glory among the stars, and for a moment she, too, felt that the words Darkness and Light had no meaning, and only this melody was real.

30 Seconds to Mars, Lovely Lyrical Lines, Walk on Water

(Do you believe?) Walk on water

Can you even see what you’re fighting for?

Bloodlust and a holy war

Listen up, hear the patriots shout: “Times are changing”

In the end, the choice was clear

Take a shot in the face of fear

Fist up in the fiery light

Times are changing 

Do you believe that you can walk on water?

Do you believe that you can win this fight tonight?

(Do you believe?)

Look at the sky, see a dying star

White lies, it’s a man on fire 

Making love with the devil hurts

Times are changing

A thin line, the whole truth 

The far right, the left view

Breaking all those promises made

Times are changing 

Do you believe that you can walk on water?

Do you believe that you can win this fight tonight?

Do you believe that you can walk on water?

Do you believe that you can win this fight tonight?

Do you believe?

Do you believe?

Do you believe? Walk on water

Do you believe? Walk on water

Do you believe? Walk on water 

Do you believe? Walk on water

Do you believe that you can walk on water?

Do you believe that you can win this fight tonight?

(Do you believe? Walk on water)

Do you believe that you can win this fight tonight?

Do you believe? Walk on water 

Do you believe? Walk on water

Hold your breath

Make a wish

Count to three

~

Come with me

And you’ll be

In a world of pure imagination 

Take a look

And you’ll see

Into your imagination 

We’ll begin

With a spin

Traveling in 

The world of my creation

What we’ll see

Will defy

Explanation

If you want to view paradise 

Simply look around and view it

Anything you want to, do it

Wanta change the world?

There’s nothing

To it

There is no

Life I know

To compare with

Pure imagination 

Living there

You’ll be free 

If you truly wish to be

If you want to view paradise 

Simply look around and view it

Anything you want to, do it

Wanta change the world?

There’s nothing 

To it

There is no

Life I know

To compare with

Pure imagination 

Living there

You’ll be free 

If you truly 

Wish to be

”Believe”, Josh Groban, Lovely Lyrical Lines, The Polar Express

Believe ~ Josh Groban

Children sleeping

Snow is softly falling

Dreams are calling

Like bells in the distance 

~

We were dreamers

Not so long ago

But one by one

We all had to grow up

~

When it seems the magic slipped away

We find it all again on Christmas Day

~

Believe in what your heart is saying 

Hear the melody that’s playing

There’s no time to waste

There’s so much to celebrate

~

Believe in what you feel inside

And give your dreams the wings to fly

You have everything you need

If you just believe 

~

Trains move quickly 

To their journey’s end

Destinations

Are where we begin again 

~

Ships go sailing

Far across the sea

Trusting starlight 

To get where they need to be

~

When it seems that we have lost our way

We find ourselves again on Christmas Day

~

Believe in what your heart is saying 

Hear the melody that’s playing

There’s no time to waste

There’s so much to celebrate 

~

Believe in what you feel inside

And give your dreams the wings to fly

You have everything you need

If you just believe 

~

If you just believe 

If you just believe 

If you just believe

~

Just believe 

Just believe

Grown Up Christmas List, Kelley Clarkson, Lovely Lyrical Lines

Grown-Up Christmas List ~ Amy Grant 

Do you remember me?

I sat upon your knee.

I wrote to you with childhood fantasies.

Well I’m all grown up now,

But still need help somehow.

I’m not a child but my heart still can dream.

~

So here’s my lifelong wish,

My grown-up Christmas list,

Not for myself, but for a world in need:

~

No more lives torn apart,

That wars would never start,

And time would heal all hearts.

And everyone would have a friend,

And right would always win,

And love would never end.

This is my grown-up Christmas list.

~

As children we believed,

The grandest sight to see,

Was something lovely wrapped beneath the tree.

Well Heaven surely knows,

That packages and bows,

Can never heal a hurting human soul.

~

No more lives torn apart,

That wars would never start,

And time would heal all hearts.

And everyone would have a friend,

And right would always win,

And love would never end.

This is my grown-up Christmas list.

~

What is this illusion called the innocence of youth?

Maybe in our blind belief can we ever find the truth.

~

No more lives torn apart,

That wars should never start,

And time would heal all hearts.

And everyone would have a friend,

And right would always win,

And love would never end.

This is my grown-up Christmas list.

This is my only lifelong wish,

This is my grown up Christmas list.

Songwriters: David Foster/Linda Thompson

"Something Wild", Lovely Lyrical Lines, Pete's Dragon

Something Wild (Pete’s Dragon)

You had your maps drawn

You had other plans

To hang your hopes on

Every road they let you down felt so wrong

So you found another way

~

You’ve got a big heart

The way you see the world

It got you this far

You might have some bruises

And a few scars

But you know you’re going to be okay

~

And even though you’re scared

You’re stronger than you know

~

If you’re lost out where the lights are blinding

Caught in all, the stars are hiding

That’s when something calls you home, home

If you face the fear that keeps you frozen

Chase the sky into the ocean

That’s when something wild calls you home, home

~

Sometimes the past can

Make the ground beneath you feel like quicksand

You don’t have to worry

You reach for my hand

Yeah I know you’re going to be okay

You’re gonna be okay

~

And even if you’re scared

You’re stronger than you know

~

If you’re lost out where the lights are blinding

Caught in all, the stars are hiding

That’s when something wild calls you home, home

If you face the fear that keeps you frozen

Chase the sky into the ocean

That’s when something wild calls you home, home

~

Calls you home

Calls you home

Calls you home

Calls you home

~

If you’re lost out where the light are blinding

Caught in all, the stars are hiding

That’s when something wild calls you home

~

If you’re lost out where the lights are blinding

Caught in all, the stars are hiding

That’s when something wild calls you home, home

If you face the fear that keeps you frozen

Chase the sky into the ocean

That’s when something wild calls you home, home

What A Wonderful World

 

I see trees of green,

Red roses too.

I see them bloom,

For me and you.

And I think to myself,

What a wonderful world.

~

I see skies of blue,

And clouds of white

The bright blessed day,

The dark sacred night.

And I think to myself,

What a wonderful world.

~

The colors of the rainbow,

So pretty in the sky.

Are also on the faces,

Of people going by.

I see friends shaking hands.

Saying “How do you do?”

They’re really saying,

“I love you”.

~

I hear babies crying,

I watch them grow.

They’ll learn much more,

Than I’ll ever know.

And I think to myself,

What a wonderful world.

~

Yes I think to myself,

What a wonderful world.

What A Wonderful World, sung by Louis Armstrong

Lovely Lyrical Lines ~ Donald Trump & Steve Bannon Edition!

Humor, Lovely Lyrical Lines, Steve Bannon and Donald Trump

Bye bye bye

I’m doing this tonight

You’re probably gonna start a fight

I know this can’t be right

Hey baby come on

I loved you endlessly

When you weren’t there for me

So now it’s time to leave and make it alone

~

I know that I can’t take no more

It ain’t no lie

I want to see you out that door

Baby bye bye bye

~

Bye bye

Don’t want to be a fool for you

Just another player in your game for two

You may hate me but it ain’t no lie

Baby bye bye bye

Bye bye

Don’t want to make it tough

I just want to tell you that I’ve had enough

It might sound crazy but it ain’t no lie

Baby bye bye bye…

~ Bye Bye Bye, NSYNC ~

After hearing about the despicable, loathsome Steve Bannon unceremoniously being booted from the Trump Universe, this song immediately popped into my head. I’m not the kind of person who tends to gloat, but in this instance I hope you’ll all forgive me!
