Captain's Log: Day 28

There are 2 songs I'd like to share with you today, one, I learned when I was working at Foyer Dorval. EVERYONE knew that song there, it was very popular among the elderly, and they quite enjoyed it when we sat around and sang it together! :) It's called Let Me Call
You Sweetheart
it's a cute little song. Maybe one day when i'm old, I will come back here, find the lyrics and sing this song while rocking on my non-rocking chair in somewhere.
Anyway. This is how it goes (the complete lyrics... i usually only sing the chorus):

Let Me Call You Sweetheart

I am dreaming dear of you,
Day by day;
Dreaming when the skies are blue,
When they're gray;
When the silv'ry moonlight gleams,
Still I wander on in dreams,
In a land of love, it seems,
Just with you.

Chorus:
Let me call you "Sweetheart,"
I'm in love with you.
Let me hear you whisper
That you love me too.
Keep the love-light glowing
In your eyes so true.
Let me call you "Sweetheart,"
I'm in love with you. (repeat chorus)

Longing for you all the while,
More and more;
Longing for the sunny smile, I adore;
Birds are singing far and near,
Roses blooming ev'rywhere
You, alone, my heart can cheer;
You, just you.

Chorus




The second song is called Sha La La, um... i'm not sure why I decided to share this song, because well, it's not one of my favorites or anything, but, it was stuck in my head this morning haha! well I do like the song, it kind of makes me happy when i hear it. It sounds so cheery! I feel like I'm on a beach when i listen to the song... weird! Again, I only knew the chorus of this song too! haha! but wouldn't it be great if you could wake up everyday, and you're in the mood to Sha La La? (i mean, to sing....) I usually wake up and i'm all grumpy! yeah, i feel bad for people to have to put up with my morning grumpiness hehe.

Sha La La - Dreamhouse
(Walkers sang the original version...)


There's a boy on my mind and he knows I'm thinking of him
All my way through the day and the night
The stars shine above me
He's been gone for some time but I know I truly love him
And I'm singing a song hoping he'll be back when he hears it

Chorus:
My heart goes sha la la la la
Sha la la in the morning
Oh oh oh sha la la la la
Sha la la in the sunshine
Sha la la la la
Sha la la in the evening
Sha la la la la...sha la la la la just for you

If your love's gone away just like mine. You feel like crying
Sing alone maybe once , may be twice. Let's try it together
Some sweet day no one knows he'll return and you'll be happy.
Shout it sweet in a song. Listen to your heart it is singing

chorus
