COME LITTLE LEAVES
by George Cooper


"Come, little leaves" said the wind one day,
"Come over the meadows with me, and play;
Put on your dresses of red and gold;
Summer is gone, and the days grow cold."

Soon as the leaves heard the wind's loud call,
Down they came fluttering, one and all;
Over the brown fields they danced and flew,
Singing the soft little songs they knew.

"Cricket, good-bye, we've been friends so long;
Little brook, sing us your farewell song-
Say you're sorry to see us go;
Ah! you are sorry, right well we know.

"Dear little lambs, in your fleecy fold,
Mother will keep you from harm and cold;
Fondly we've watched you in vale and glade;
Say, will you dream of our loving shade?"


Dancing and whirling the little leaves went;
Winter had called them and they were content-
Soon fast asleep in their earthly beds,
The snow laid a soft mantle over their heads.

George Cooper's "Come Little Leaves" Song (That Loretta & Lori Sang Together)

Angels Among Us (Alabama)

(prelude : spoken )
I was walking home from school,
on a cold winter day.
Took a short cut through the woods,
and I lost my way.
It was gettin' late,
and I was scared and alone.
Then a kind old man
took my hand and led me home.
Mama couldn't see him,
but he was standin' there.
I knew in my heart
he was the answer to my prayers.


(chorus : )
Ohhhh, I believe there are angels among us
Sent down to us from some where up above
They come to you and me in our darkest hours
To show us how to live,
To teach us how to give

To guide us with a light of love.


When life held troubled times
and had me down on my knees.
There's always been someone
to come along and comfort me.
A kind word from a stranger
to lend a helping hand.
A phone call from a friend
just to say, "I understand".

Ain't it kinda funny
at the dark end of the road
someone lights the way with just
a single ray of hope.


(chorus : )
Ohhhh, I believe there are angels among us
sent down to us from some where up above.
They come to you and me in our darkest hours
to show us how to live,
to teach us how to give,

To guide us with a light of love.


(bridge : )
They wear so many faces,
Show up in the strangest places,
Grace us with their mercy
In our time of need


(chorus : )
Ohhhh, I believe there are angels among us
sent down to us from some where up above.
They come to you and me in our darkest hours
to show us how to live,
to teach us how to give,

To guide us with a light of love.

To guide us with a light of love.

Phantom Of The Opera - All I Ask Of You Lyrics

No more talk of darkness,
forget these wide-eyed fears;
I'm here, nothing can harm you,
my words will warm and calm you.
Let me be your freedom,
let daylight dry your tears;
I'm here, with you, beside you,
to guard you and to guide you.

Christine
Say you'll love me ev'ry waking moment;
turn my head with talk of summertime.
Say you need me with you now and always;
promise me that all you say is true,
that's all I ask of you.

Raoul
Let me be your shelter,
let me be your light;
you're safe, no one will find you,
your fears are far behind you.

Christine
All I want is freedom,
a world with no more night;
and you, always beside me,
to hold me and to hide me.

Raoul
Then say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime;
let me lead you from you solitude.
Say you need me with you, here beside you,
anywhere you go, let me go too,
that's all I ask of you.

Christine
Say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime.
Say the word and I will follow you.

Together
Share each day with me, each night, each morning.

Christine
Say you love me...

Raoul
You know I do.

Together
Love me, that's all I ask of you.

Anywhere you go let me go too

Love me...
that's all I ask of you.

We chanced upon the historic Lee, MA Chambery Inn http://www.chamberyinn.com/index.html and loved it.
(Many of its rooms still have wrap around black boards from its schoolhouse days). [Constructed in 1885, as the Berkshires first parochial school]. This Inn was superb, featured an exceptional continental breakfast served in a basket to your door, had a kind & friendly staff & was moderately priced.
We happened to like the wheel chair accessible 1st floor room (with a king sized bed) that was only a few steps from the car & found it to be very tastefully decorated.Here's a cute sculpture in the bathroom.
