Why Can't I Stay on Vacation?

Well, I'm back from the World of Mouse, and I had a great time. The weather was into the triple digits, so we were LITERALLY standing in our own sweat. Nice eh? I figure, if I had watched what I ate and drank, between all the walking I did and the sweating, I would have lost ten pounds. DAMN. Oh well, too late.

I am actually creatively stagnant right now (if there is such a phrase), and I really can't find the words to put down on the page, so to speak.

So, instead of my wonderful prose, I will, once more, post a great tune and set of lyrics from my personal collection. Let's see....I would give you some Elvis, in honor of the 30th Anniversary of his passing, but I don't have any in my account. Plus, thinking of the King makes me sad, because it reminds me of my dear friend, Ruth, whom I miss greatly. And her birthday is coming up, and I cry way too much these days.

Hmmm *scanning through lifelogger to see what's available* AH! Here we go. Some good old Canadian content.

Ladies and gentlemen (and I use those terms loosely :P), I give you - THE GUESS WHO!!!

THESE EYES

These eyes cry every night for you.
These arms long to hold you again.
The hurtin’s on me yeah,
But I will never be free no my baby, no no.
You gave a promise to me yeah and you broke it, you broke it. Oh, no.

These eyes watched you bring my world to an end.
This heart could not accept and pretend.
The hurtin’s on me yeah,
But I will never be free no no no.
You took the vow with me yeah.
You spoke it, you spoke it, babe.

These eyes are cryin’
These eyes have seen a lot of loves
But they’re never gonna see another one like I had with you.
These eyes are cryin’
These eyes have seen a lot of loves
But they’re never gonna see another one like I had with you.

These eyes are cryin’
These eyes have seen a lot of loves
But they’re never gonna see another one like I had with you.

These eyes cry every night for you.
These arms, these arms long to hold you, hold you again.
These eyes are cryin’
These eyes have seen a lot of loves
But they’re never gonna see another one like I had with you.
These eyes are cryin’
These eyes have seen a lot of loves
But they’re never gonna see another one like I had with you.
These eyes are cryin’
These eyes have seen a lot of loves
But they’re never gonna see another one like I had with you.
These eyes are cryin’
These eyes have seen a lot of loves
But they’re never gonna see another one like I had with you.
Baby, baby, baby, baby.
