reminiscing the oldie



All I have is time now so, why not Blog It??!! Pourquoi pas?? I'm working on exploring the blogspot...how to make my blog appears more interesting and attracting readers?? (laughs) There's much to learn, of course.
I was watching a movie last week, The Lake House starred by Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock. Oh man I love Keanu Reeves!! My childhood idol ever since I watched Speed. Well, I wonder if there really is a space where we can travel back time or a time traveler with a genetic disease in The Time Traveler's Wife?? Never mind that, work on the present! What attracted me in The Lake House is the background music in it, full of oldies. Out of many songs in it, I only remember I Wish You Love. Then, I browse for it and found many versions of the song. Finally, I chose to download a version sang by Nat King Cole. I LOVE the song very much... Especially the lyrics. It was first written by a French, Leo Chauliac under the title Que reste-t-il de nos amours? Then, Albert A. Beach brings the English version of the song and it was first recorded in 1957. You can google the song and and there you can find who used to sing this song.
It is nice to listen to one or two oldies once in a while you know...I try to insert the HTML for the song and let's see if it works. Hope you will enjoy the song.

Goodbye, no use leading with our chins
This is where our story ends
Never lovers, ever friends
Goodbye, let our hearts call it a day
But before you walk away
I sincerely want to say
I wish you bluebirds in the spring
To give your heart a song to sing
And then a kiss, but more than this
I wish you love
And in July a lemonade
To cool you in some leafy glade
I wish you health
And more than wealth
I wish you love
My breaking heart and I agree
That you and I could never be
So with my best
My very best
I set you free
I wish you shelter from the storm
A cozy fire to keep you warm
But most of all when snowflakes fall
I wish you love
