Fav-Song Lyrics-004: Are you Lonesome Tonight - by Elvis Presley

Are you Lonesome Tonight ? Sang by Elvis Presley (words & music by roy turk and lou handman) Are you lonesome tonight, Do you miss me tonight? Are you sorry we drifted apart? Does your memory stray to a brighter sunny day When I kissed you and called you sweetheart? Do the chairs in your parlor seem empty and bare? Do you gaze at your doorstep and picture me there? Is your heart filled with pain, shall I come back again? Tell me dear, are you lonesome tonight? I wonder if youre lonesome tonight You know someone said that the worlds a stage And each must play a part. Fate had me playing in love you as my sweet heart. Act one was when we met, I loved you at first glance You read your line so cleverly and never missed a cue Then came act two, you seemed to change and you acted strange And why Ill never know. Honey, you lied when you said you loved me And I had no cause to doubt you. But Id rather go on hearing your lies Than go on living without you. Now the stage is bare ...

Quotes About Love from the Bible [ 今日のことわざ: 愛について聖書より」

Japanese follows English: [日本語は英語の下」 Corinthians 13:1-8a and 13 If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing. Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails....And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. Ephesians 5:25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her. Ephesians 5:33 However, each one of ...

Bansuido and Shoji-san (Part I)

Image
In the first week of August, 2007, I went to an old house in Sendai City called “Bansuisodo”. This house was actually rebuilt by students of Doi Bansui – a great poet and literary figure of Sendai . His original house that used to stand in the same location was destroyed during World War II. His students loved him so much that they chipped in to rebuild t their beloved professor’s house. Below is an excerpt taken from Sendai City homepage: Doi Bansui ( 1871 ~ 1963 ) Doi Bansui was a poet and scholar of English literature born in Sendai , and is best known as the lyricist of the song Kojo no Tsuki (The Moon Over the Ruined Castle ). His house, the Bansuisodo, stands as a memento of the days he lived. This literary heritage still runs in Sendai and continues to steadily produce famous writers, such as Isaka Kotaro, Saeki Kazumi, Sena Hideaki, and Kumagai Tatsuya. It was a weekday afternoon so I was the only visitor at the old house. However, I was warnly welco...

Funny "Green" Joke: Good Can of Corn

Image
Minors , please stop reading and close your eyes. Good Can of Corn There were three couples, one elderly, one middle aged, and one newlywed, that wanted to join a church. So the minister tells them that in order to be members they must abstain from sex for two whole weeks. After two weeks, the minister asks the elderly couple if they had abstained. "Yes, no problem!" So the minister welcomes them to the church. Then he asks the middle aged couple the same question "Well, after one week, the husband had to sleep on the couch, but we made it!" So the minister welcomes them to the church. Then the minister asks the newlywed couple if they had abstained from sex for two weeks.
