Oh boy that really was a step back in time for me. I remember my brother had an LP with that on it when I was young.

So very true though a smile can make all the difference in someone else's day, and it is so easy to do.

It costs us nothing but it's absolutely priceless...

:-)

I'm in a Zeppelin kinda mood today...

I had a dream. Crazy dream.
Anything I wanted to know, any place I needed to go

Hear my song. People won't you listen now? Sing along.
You don't know what you're missing now.
Any little song that you know
Everything that's small has to grow.
And it has to grow!

California sunlight, sweet Calcutta rain
Honolulu starbright - the song remains the same.

Sing out Hare Hare, dance the Hoochie Koo.
City lights are oh so bright, as we go sliding... sliding... sliding through.

The Song Remains The Same is Zeppelin's tribute to World Music, to all music.

In this thread I'm looking at it in a different context. The context of the Song of Our Hearts, which is an extension or manifestation of Oneness. It's Joy, Happiness, Love of Self, Love of Others, of Everyone. It emanates from The One, The Spirit, The Soul, The Universe...

It flows through all of us, all of us. Hear the song, join the song, even if it's only a timid voice... For now...

Find your song and join the chorus. The more voices, the closer we all are to Oneness...

Corny, if you want to look at it that way, but oh, so very true...

And now, a tribute and Thank You to my xgf. D, you gave me the most precious gift in the world. You helped me find a part of me that had been AWOL my whole life. No one, no one, has had a more profound impact on me. And it goes far beyond my Love for you D. Thank You...

If the sun refused to shine, I would still be loving you.
when mountains crumble to the sea, there would still be you and me.

Kind woman, I give you my all, Kind woman, nothing more.

Little drops of rain whisper of the pain, tears of loves lost in the days gone by.
Our love is strong, with you there is no wrong,
together we shall go until we die. My, my, my.
Inspiration's what you are to me, inspiration, look... see.

And so today, my world it smiles, your hand in mine, we walk the miles,
Thanks to you it will be done, for you to me are the only one.
Happiness, no more be sad, happiness....I'm glad.
If the sun refused to shine, I would still be loving you.
If the mountains should crumble to the sea, there would still be you and me.

I loved and will love my ex forever as well. She provided lessons in love, memories that will sweeten my deathbed, and revealed the depth of emotion that one human being can have for another. I wish I could hold them in my heart without the loss which comes attached to them, but alas! Do I regret getting involved with her? Absolutely not. I'd do it again.I don't know if the cliche' applies that she made me a better man, but I do feel, like the Grinch, my heart grew three sizes because of her.

If you ever watched "As Good As It Gets", there's a scene when Helen Hunt demands Jack Nicholson compliment her. He stumbles through his thoughts and then comes up with this gem!

Melvin Udall: Don't be pessimistic, it's not your style. Okay, here I go: Clearly, a mistake. I've got this, what - ailment? My doctor, a shrink that I used to go to all the time, he says that in fifty or sixty percent of the cases, a pill really helps. I *hate* pills, very dangerous thing, pills. Hate. I'm using the word "hate" here, about pills. Hate. My compliment is, that night when you came over and told me that you would never... all right, well, you were there, you know what you said. Well, my compliment to you is, the next morning, I started taking the pills.

Carol Connelly: I don't quite get how that's a compliment for me.

Melvin Udall: You make me want to be a better man.

Carol Connelly: ...That's maybe the best compliment of my life.
