**This is an evocative, lovely song of love lost. I wish I could embed the music as well.(Rich in vocabulary...always thinking!)****

Penélope by Diego Torres

Penélope, con su bolso de piel marrón y sus zapatos de tacón, y su vestido de domingo.

Penélope, se sienta en un banco del andén y espera que llegue el primer tren Meneando el abanico.

Dicen en el pueblo que un caminante paró su reloj una tarde de primavera.

Adiós, amor mío, no me llores, volveré antes que de los sauces caigan las hojas...

Piensa en mí, volveré por ti... Pobre infeliz, se paró su reloj infantil una tarde plomiza de abril, cuando se fue su amante.

Se marchitó en su huerto hasta la última flor, no hay ni un sauce en la calle mayor para Penélope.

Penélope, tristeza a fuerza de esperar, tus ojos parecen brillar si un tren silba a lo lejos.

Penélope, uno tras otro los ve pasar, mira sus caras, les oye hablar, para ella son muñecos.

Dicen en el pueblo que el caminante volvió, la encontró en su banco de pino verde. La llamó: "Penélope, mi amante fiel, mi paz, deja ya de tejer sueños en tu mente... Mírame, soy tu amor, regresé..."

Le sonrió con los ojos llenitos de ayer, no era así su cara ni su piel: "Tú no eres quien yo espero..."

Y se quedó con su bolso de piel marrón y sus zapatitos de tacón sentada en la estación.

Sentada en la estación.

Now for my favorite song of all time:

Over the Hills and Far Away by Led Zeppelin

The lyrics are good, but the guitar work by Jimmy Page is outstanding.

Hey lady--you got the love I need

Maybe more than enough

Oh darling... walk a while with me

Ooh, you got so much...

Many have I loved

Many times been bitten

Many times I've gazed

Along the open road

Many times I've lied

Many times I've listened

Many times I've wondered

How much there is to know

Many dreams come true

And some have silver linings

I live for my dream

And a pocketful of gold

Mellow is the man

Who knows what he's been missin'

Many many man

Can't see the open road

Many is a word

That only leaves you guessin'

A guess about a thing

You really ought to know, ooh

You really ought to know

I really ought to know

Oooh, you know I should, you know I should, you know I should...

This isn't my favorite song, but these are my favorite lyrics of all time. For some reason these words always touch me.

Graverobber by Petra

There's a step that we all have to take alone

An appointment we have with the great unknown

Like a vapor this life is just waiting to pass

Like the flowers that fade like the withering grass

But life seems so long and death so complete

And the grave an impossible portion to cheat

But there's One who has been there and still lived to tell

There is One who has been through both heaven and hell

And the Grave will come up empty handed that day

Jesus will come and steal us away

Where is the sting tell me where is the bite

When the grave robber comes like a thief in the night

Where is the victory where is the prize

When the grave robber comes

And death finally dies

Many still mourn and many still weep

For those that they love who have fallen asleep

But we have this hope though our hearts may still ache

Just one shout from above and they all will awake

And in the reunion of joy we will see

Death will be swallowed in sweet victory

When the last enemy is gone from the dust will come a song

Those asleep will be awakened - not a one will be forsaken

He shall wipe away our tears - He will steal away our fears

There will be no sad tomorrow - there will be no pain or sorrow

This was taken from several verses in the Bible: Hebrews 9:27, John 4:14, I Peter 1:24, Romans 8:11,I Corinthians 15:26, 51-55, Revelation 7:17

O.K., DJ:

This is one of my favourites. Its a "mature" love song that may have some appeal to the over 55 members. Or, maybe not.

Here it is on You Tube, and you may follow along because

the Lyrics are here.

Get your hankies out.

Great job, DJ, I have a long time favourite I came across when "Spanish Idol" was on sung by a young man and it proved to be a very old songwink

Unchained melody

Oh, my love

my darling

I've hungered for your touch

a long lonely time

and time goes by so slowly

and time can do so much

are you still mine?

I need your love

I need your love

Godspeed your love to me

Lonely rivers flow to the sea,

to the sea

to the open arms of the sea

lonely rivers sigh 'wait for me, wait for me'

I'll be coming home wait for me

Oh, my love

my darling

I've hungered for your touch

a long lonely time

and time goes by so slowly

and time can do so much

are you still mine?

I need your love

I need your love

Godspeed your love to me

I love itsmile
