Aachoo Voo, Private Eye: Aachoo Voo, Private Eye Episode Nine ATTENTION!!!! NEW EPISODE POSTED!!!! 

"Oh, oh, oh, why was that veal green?!"

Valentine Eve for everyone who's alone tonight....God bless you

 

        Valentine Eve

    The day of love, it looms on the horizon now

    Teasing me with it's rose and balloon 

    And teddy bear

    The memories of those sweet, sweet days

    And magical nights of wine and candle

    Long slow dances and kisses

    That promised love unending

    But ended all the same

    Forever and a day, you said

    And I agreed and wrote it down

    In my book of remembrance

    And saved it with the cards and hearts

    And pressed flowers that I would

    Not have sold for gold

    Valentine's Day, unfunny, unsweet

    Unlovely, unlooked forward to

    Looming on the horizon now

    The worst day of the year

    For those with shattered hearts.

Love Makes You Beautiful

Love Makes You Beautiful

I wasn't born pretty

Not in the conventional way

I felt plain and forgettable

And I didn't feel loved.

I grew to be pretty

But still forgettable

In crowds of other pretty girls

Who would notice me?

And then one day

The whole world changed

And the mirror showed a new reflection

When the alchemy of love did it's magic on me.

My eyes shone,

My mouth laughed,

My lips smiled

As you told me you loved me.

"How beautiful you are!" you said

And beauty changed the contours of my face

It radiated with love

And began to beam like sunshine, warm and bright.

I loved you so much

I forgot to eat,

Forgot to sleep,

Forgot to cry.

Even the thoughts in my head

Spoke in your voice

Walked in your dreams,

Talked to me tenderly.

Love can do that...

Transform, transfigure, redefine

Love can pull life out of death,

Make gold out of air.

Look what it's done for me

The plain and un-pretty

The forgettable and un-loved

It changed the way I always saw myself

For love makes you beautiful.
