“The
Book I’m Not Reading” by Patty Larkin (Perishable Fruit,

“Oh I need someone to read me storiesMaybe a thought that goes through Natalie’s head at times, but can be more generally applied to the lifelong quest to hear any word AR utters.
Oh someone to turn the page
Oh the endless quest for love and glory
Oh does not fade away with age”
“Breathless”
– The Corrs (In Blue, 2000).

Leave me breathless”

close to youuuuuuuuu.”
"Dance
Me to the End of Love”—Leonard Cohen (Various Positions,

This is the only line I feel safe quoting here:
“Dance me very tenderly and dance me very long.”

of Gold”—Sting (Ten Summoner’s Tales, 1993).
All because of Claire’s fabulous photo site.

“Inner Smile” --Texas (Single, 2000. Also on 2000 Greatest
Hits CD.)
This one works on so many levels!
“Interlude”—Morrisey
and Siousxie Sioux (single release, Interlude, 1994).
“Loving you, is the world that's strange,
So much more than my heart can hold,
Loving you makes the whole world change.
Loving you, I could not grow old.”
“It’s a Nice Face” from Sweet Charity, written by Cy Coleman and
Dorothy Fields (1966).
“It’s a nice face, as faces go.
It’s a very nice face.
With a place for every feature, every feature in its place.
Not a common place face.
His eyes, blue. (okay, so this part is wrong)
His chin, stubborn and stong.
His ears, well, they’re ordinary ears.
His nose, a little long.…Don’t make this a federal case
It’s just another pretty face.
Still…it’s a very, very, very nice face.”
“The Nearness of You”, written by Hoagy Carmichael and Ned Washington
(1940).
“It’s not the pale moon that excites meWords to describe practically any chance encounter or stage door experience!
That thrills and delights me, oh no
It’s just the nearness of you.”
“Only
When I Sleep”--The
Corrs (Talk on Corners, 1998).
“But it's only when I sleep
See you in my dreams
You got me spinning round and round
Turning upside-down
But I only hear you breathe”
Prelude No. 6, Opus 28 (“The Cello Prelude”) —Frederic Chopin.

On a wing on a prayer
In this state of disrepair…

Shaking it up
Breaking it up
Making it up in our secret world”.

by Jerome Doc Pomus and Mort Shuman (1959).
“Why must I be a teenager in love?”A question occasionally asked by the tragically AR smitten.
“A
Thousand Years”—Sting (Brand New Day, 2000).
“But if there was a single truth, a single light
A single thought, a singular touch of grace
Then following this single point , this single flame,
The single haunted memory of your face”.
“Touch the Fire”—Ice House (Great Southern Land, 1989).
“His words fall in echoes
Ringing bells like gypsy rhymes
He has the power
No believer can explain.”

1984-1994, 1994).
“When we dance, angels will run and hide their wings.”
“You Take My Breath Away”—Queen (A Day at the Races,
1976).
“Look into my eyes and you’ll see I’m the only one
You’ve captured my love stolen my heart
Changed my life
Every time you make a move you destroy my mind
And the way you touch
I lose control and shiver deep inside
You take my breath away”.
