Music in the Air

[Michele Anne Dykes]

Just added another song. This one by Cat Stevens, "If you want to sing out, sing out...". It´s a happy song and makes me feel like a child again. I think it´s easy to understand too. Stroll down to the next page to find the lyrics. Thanks to Estrella for suggesting his songs. How do songs make YOU feel? Pick your favourites and share with us your feelings.

Hi! I like some kind of music, like classical, pop music and groups like "il divo". I listen diferents stiles of music, depends of the moment. Music it's fine to listen the words and remember the english expressions. Listen music makes me happy. Today, I practice my english listening Lionel Ritchie, the song was "say you, say me" while I was having a dinner in a restaurant.
See you tomorrow partners and Michelle !

Perfect Michele, here we have the Lyrics:

I am sitting
In the morning
At the diner
On the corner

I am waiting
At the counter
For the man
To pour the coffee

And he fills it
Only halfway
And before
I even argue

He is looking
Out the window
At somebody
Coming in

"It is always
Nice to see you"
Says the man
Behind the counter

To the woman
Who has come in
She is shaking
Her umbrella

And I look
The other way
As they are kissing
Their hellos

I'm pretending
Not to see them
Instead
I pour the milk

I open
Up the paper
There's a story
Of an actor

Who had died
While he was drinking
It was no one
I had heard of

And I'm turning
To the horoscope
And looking
For the funnies

When I'm feeling
Someone watching me
And so
I raise my head

There's a woman
On the outside
Looking inside
Does she see me?

No she does not
Really see me
Cause she sees
Her own reflection

And I'm trying
Not to notice
That she's hitching
Up her skirt

And while she's
Straightening her stockings
Her hair
Has gotten wet

Oh, this rain
It will continue
Through the morning
As I'm listening

To the bells
Of the cathedral
I am thinking
Of your voice...

And of the midnight picnic
Once upon a time
Before the rain began...

And I finish up my coffee
And it's time to catch the train
