sweet day...

 

...'Hope you're having a sweet February 14th! As you can see, I am: it may be dreary and rainy today, but I'm having the best day crocheting trims on my pillowcases and taking little breaks by dipping into my little teacup filled with sweetness! Today, I feel like trimming all my pillowcases with red and shocking pink -- 'love these colors on any day!

To make your day a little sweeter, I thought I'd leave you with these lyrics written and sung by Melody Gardot here (do have a listen if you haven't heard this song before -- it's absolutely lovely!) Mmmmm... to be serenaded by such words...

If The Stars Were Mine

If the stars were mine,
I'd give them all to you.
I'd pluck them down right from the sky
And leave it only blue.

I would never let the sun forget
To shine upon your face.
So when others would have rain clouds
You'd have only sunny days.

If the stars were mine,
I'd tell you what I'd do:
I'd put the stars right in a jar
And give 'em all to you

If the birds were mine
I'd tell them when to sing.
I'd make them sing a sonnet
When your telephone would ring.

I would put them there inside the square
Whenever you went out.
So there'd always be sweet music
Whenever you walk about.

If the birds were mine,
I'd tell you what I'd do:
I'd teach the birds such lovely words
And make 'em sing for you.
I'd teach the birds such lovely words
And make 'em sing for you.

If the world was mine,
I'd paint it gold and green.
I'd make the oceans orange
For a brilliant color scheme.

I would color all the mountains
Make the sky forever blue.
So the world would be a painting
And I'd live inside with you.

If the world was mine,
I'd tell you what I'd do:
I'd wrap the world in ribbons
And then give it all to you.

I'd teach the birds such lovely words
And make 'em sing for you.
I'd put those stars right in a jar and
Give them all to you.
