To All The Girls I've Loved Before....

[winedoc]

OK, I am no girlie man, but do love these girlie pens. LOL... Some of these I still own and use, but other has gone to other homes. Here is a tribute to all of them...

 

To be sung to the tune of Willie Nelson and Juliio Iglesias...

 

To all the girls I've loved before

Who travelled in and out my door

I'm glad they came along, I dedicate this song

To all the girls I've loved before

 

To all the girls I once caressed

And may I say I've held the best

For helping me to grow, I owe all that I know

To all the girls I've loved before

 

The winds of change are always blowing

And everytime I try to stay

The winds of change continue blowing

And they just carry me away

 

To all the girls who shared my life

Who now in someone else's hands

I'm glad they came along, I dedicate this song

To all the girls I've loved before

 

To all the girls who cared for me

Who filled my writing with ecstasy

They live within my heart, I've always been a part

Of all the girls I've loved before.....

 

 

"Cho-cho Fujin" (Madame Butterfly)... This conjures up a different song "Don't cry for me Cho-cho fujin..." (to be sung to the tune of "Don't Cry for me Argentina"

+1 for "Oooo love the smaller Kaguyahime"

 

I only have the Madame Butterfly - and it plays a very special part in my memory - connects me to my now departed Dad, who loved Opera and taught me to love it too...............somehow we share this pen .

 

I wish I could get the smaller Kaguyahime to keep her company!!!
