In Kim's honor, reviving her favorite thread, "Link the Lyrics"

quote:

---

From the village hidden deep in the valley
One rainy morning dark and gray
A soul winged its way to heaven
Kim has passed away

Just a lonely bell was ringing
On a morning grey and grim
'Twas farewell that it was singing
To our dear and gentle Kim.
And the little congregation
Prayed for guidance from above
"Lead us not into temptation, may her soul find the salvation of Thy great eternal love"

-- The Three Bells, 1952, originally a 1945 French tune by Bert Reisfeld and Jean Villard; English words added by Dick Manning; modified here

Red River Valley

From the Movie "Red River Valley"
Performed by Marty Robbins

From this valley they say you are leaving
We shall miss your bright eyes and sweet smile
For you take with you want of the sunshine
That is brightened our pathway a while

For what is it to die, But to stand in the sun and melt into the wind? And when the Earth has claimed our limbs, Then we shall truly dance.
--Kahlil Gibran

Enjoy your dance my friend...I need only to turn my ear to the wind to hear your laughter forever. You were loved by many Kim and we will miss you!

I just know that Kim would want us to move on and have fun with this thread, so I am going to take a word from Cam's quote to link to a fun song...and urge the rest of you to get this thread going again.

[Sorry, I couldn't find the artist.]

"Open Up Your Heart and Let the Sun Shine In"
So let the sun shine in
face it with a grin.
Smilers never lose
and frowners never win.
So le the sun shine in
face it with a grin
Open up your heart and let the sun shine in.

Beatles's - Here Comes The Sue

Here comes the sun, here comes the sun,
And I say it’s all right

Little darling, it’s been a long cold lonely winter
Little darling, it feels like years since it’s been here
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
And I say it’s all right

Little darling, the smiles returning to the faces
Little darling, it seems like years since it’s been here
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
And I say it’s all right

Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...

Little darling, I feel that ice is slowly melting
Little darling, it seems like years since it’s been clear
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun,
And I say it’s all right
It’s all right

sun

Blue skies smilin' at me
Nothin' but blue skies do I see
Bluebirds singin' a song
Nothin' but bluebirds all day long

Never saw the sun shinin' so bright
Never saw things goin' so right
Noticing the days hurrying by
When you're in love, my how they fly

Blue days, all of them gone
Nothin' but blue skies from now on
(Blue skies smilin' at me
Nothin' but blue skies do I see)

Never saw the sun shinin' so bright
Never saw things goin' so right
Noticing the days hurrying by
When you're in love, my how they fly

Blue days, all of them gone
Nothin' but blue skies from now on
Nothin' but blue skies from now on

"Blue Velvet"
~Bobby Vinton
She wore blue velvet
Bluer than velvet was the night
Softer than satin was the light
From the stars

She wore blue velvet
Bluer than velvet were her eyes
Warmer than May her tender sighs
Love was ours

I can see clearly now the rain is gone
I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
It's gonna be a bright, bright sunshinin' day


Oh yes, I can make it now the pain is gone
All of the bad feelings have disappeared
Here is the rainbow I've been praying for
It's gonna be a bright, bright sunshinin' day

Look all around, there's nothing but blue skies
Look straight ahead, there's nothing but blue skies

I Can See Clearly Now, by Jimmy Cliff
