About Me


GENERATE YOUR OWN CUSTOM COUNT DOWN! Let her weave you a tale Of knights and dragons. Let her sing you a sonnet Of true love and passion. Let her cast her spell upon you - Moonbeams to alight your vision. Let her draw you into her world - Rainbows so much more than illusion. Let her find her way to your heart - Softly tread footsteps the only clue. Let her eyes paint your dreams, So vivid and bright. Let her turn, twist and bend her craft - To move your soul with hers. Let her take her brush to the sky - Just for you to behold the masterpiece. Let her make her charms, concoct her potions - To bewitch as no one has before. Let her simply be as she simply is.

Things to Remember


Oh Madame Moon, you have such a view. Do you see him? Do you? L'espirit jumeaux. Oh Mister Sun, I - am on the dark side. I miss him all night, I hope he's all right. Monsieur Soleil, Madame la Lune, Les coeurs jumeaux pas de deux. Oh Mister Sun, oh Madam Moon, please bring him back into my view. Oh Madame Moon, you can say adieu. Les coeurs jumeaux. Ah, so true. Monsieur Soleil, s'il vous plait? Les coeurs jumeaux. So far away. Madame la Lune, ma belle lumiere. Please bring him back, into my view.Toi et moi on reve le meme reve. Temps, distance, tout ca n'a pas d'importance quand le coeur reve le meme reve. Toi et moi on part au-dela des oceans, au-dela des montagnes, au-dela du temps On s'est appris a s'aimer. Et l'amour ne connait ni temps ni distance. Monsieur Soleil, s'il vous plait? My love is aching far away. Monsieur Soleil, someday...~ Concrete Blonde "Les Coeurs Jumeaux"
