Title: Another chance...................short poem...
Post by: harryhoudini on August 05, 2009, 06:18:28 am
Another chance
How often we wish for another chance
to make a fresh beginning.
A chance to blot out our mistakes
And change failure into winning.
It does not take a new day
To make a brand new start,
It only takes a deep desire
To try with all our heart.
To live a little better
And to always be forgiving
And to add a little sunshine
To the world in which we're living.
So never give up in despair
And think that you are through,
For there's always a tomorrow
And the hope of starting new.


Helen Steiner Rice


Title: If I could change your mind. .....short Lyrics

Harry

This reminds me of a beautiful Song from Allan Parsons Project. Sung by a lady in a sad dreamy type of way.

If I could change your mind



I prefer to spend my time is solitary ways

Keeping myself to myselff

Can't pretend that it's been easy since you went away

Living with somebody else



If you should change your mind

If you would turn around and look behind

If you could see me the way I used to be

At the risk of bringing back the sorrow and despair

I would do it all again

Holding on to memories and pretending not to care

Knowing that the show was soon to end

If only I could change your mind

If only you would change


If I had the chance I'd do it all again

I would do it all again



I remember windy shores on melancholy days

Drifting along with the tide

And the joy of simple things and ordinary ways

Taking is all in my stride



If you should change your mind

If I could let you see what lies behind

If you could need me the way it used to be

Even for a moment of the happy times we shared

Living in my dreams since then

At the risk of losing only castles in the air

Come with me and we can try again

Oh, if I could change your mind



Can't pretend it's not been lonely since you went away

Oh, if only I could change your mind

Cool. Thanks for that.

Wow that was great. The movie is nothing what I would expect but it is still nice in its own way.

Thank you Harry
