now that i’ve disappeared

I know my dream
But can’t explain
I’m rising slowly
Up to the air
Up where they know me
Now that I’ve disappeared
The hand that shakes me
Jars and wakes me and
I soon forget
My dreams and yet
The sea’s below me
I’m safe and clear
Up where they know me
Now that I’ve disappeared
My eyes are open
I try to close them but
The light comes through
The blinds and moves
Me from this glowing
Sheet stained with tears
Up where they know me
Now that I’ve disappeared . . .

Favorite Song #10

You don’t know me by Jann Arden which can be found on My Best Friend’s Wedding Soundtrack
Written by Cindy Walker and Eddy Arnold (at least according to this)

(There are dozens of versions but Jann Arden’s rendition is the one that I like the most. And also that Meryl Streep version from the movie ‘Postcards from the edge.’)

You give your hand to me
Then you say hello
I can hardly speak
My heart is beating so
And anyone can tell
You think you know me well
But you don’t know me

No, you don’t know the one
Who dreams of you at night
And longs to kiss your lips
And longs to hold you tight
Oh I’m just a friend
That’s all I’ve ever been
‘Cause you don’t know me

I never knew
The art of making love
Though my heart aches
With love for you
Afraid and shy
I’ve let my chance to go by
The chance that you might
Love me, too

You give your hand to me
And then you say good-bye
I watch you walk away
Beside the lucky guy
You’ll never never know
The one who loves you so
Well, you don’t know me

You give your hand to me
Then you say good-bye
I watch you walk away
Beside the lucky guy
No, no, you’ll never ever know
The one who loves you so
Well, you don’t know me

Favorite song #9

Dream a little dream of me by The Mamas and the Papas
written by Gus Kahn/Wilbur Schwandt/Fabian Andre

Stars shining bright above you
Night breezes seem to whisper “I love you”
Birds singin’ in the sycamore tree
Dream a little dream of me

Say nighty-night and kiss me
Just hold me tight and tell me you’ll miss me
While I’m alone and blue as can be
Dream a little dream of me

Stars fading but I linger on dear
Still craving your kiss
I’m longing to linger till dawn dear
Just saying this

Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you
Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you
But in your dreams whatever they be
Dream a little dream of me

Stars fading but I linger on dear
Still craving your kiss
I’m longing to linger till dawn dear
Just saying this

Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you
Sweet dreams that leave all worries far behind you
But in your dreams whatever they be
Dream a little dream of me
