Moulin Rouge

Re-watched Moulin Rouge. Despite the poor sound quality (lol), a quote was clearly heard...

The greatest thing in the world is to be in love and be loved in return.
--------------------------
Your Song

My gift is my song and this one's for you

And you can tell everybody that this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is now you're in the world

I sat on the roof and I kicked off the moss
Well a some of the verses, well they've got me quite cross
But the sun's been kind while I wrote this song
It's for people like you that keep it turned on

So excuse me forgetting but these things I do
You see I've forgotten, if they're green or they're blue
Anyway the thing is what I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen
--------------------------

Love this song!

Love, Me

Collin Raye: Love, Me

I read a note my grandma wrote back in 1923
Grandpa kept it in his coat and he showed it once to me
He said, Boy you might not understand, but a long long time ago
Grandma's daddy din like me none, but I loved your grandma so
We had this crazy plan to meet, and run away together
Get married in the first town we came to and live forever
But nailed to the tree where we were supposed to meet instead
I found this letter and this is what it said

*If you get there before I do, don't give up on me
I'll meet you when my chores all through, I don't know how long I'll be
But I'm not gonna let you down, Darling wait and see
And between now and then till I see you again
I'll be loving you..love me

I read those words just hours before my grandma passed away
In the doorway of a church where me and grandpa stopped to pray
I know I never seen him cry in all my fifteen years
But as he said these words to her
His eyes filled up with tears

*If you get there before I do, don't give up on me
I'll meet you when my chores all through, I don't know how long I'll be
But I'm not gonna let you down, Darling wait and see
And between now and then till I see you again
I'll be loving you..love me

Between now and then till I see you again
I'll be loving you... love me
-----------------------------

I teared as I was listening to this song in the middle of the night. It's just so emotional...It just reminded me of my grandparents...they were so in love with each other then...

Still, happy chinese new year everyone =)
