😃 My Take One!

Think of Me

~ Phantom of the Opera

Think of me, think of me fondly
When we’ve said, goodbye
Remember me, once in a while
Please promise me you’ll try
When you find that once again you long
To take your heart back and be free
If you ever find a moment
Spare a thought for me

Think of all the things
We’ve shared and seen
Don’t think about the things
Which might have been

Think of me, think of me waking
Silent and resigned
Imagine me trying too hard
To put you from my mind
Recall those days
Look back on all those times
Think of the things we’ll never do
There will never be a day
When I won’t think of you

Think of all the things
We’ve shared and seen
Don’t think about the things
Which might have been

Think of me, think of me waking
Silent and resigned
Imagine me trying too hard
To put you from my mind
Recall those days
Look back on all those times
Think of the things we’ll never do
There will never be a day
When I won’t think of you

Here’s my Take One! 😛 ~ My “Sun and Moon (Miss Saigon)” Recording:

Sun and Moon (Miss Saigon)

You are sunlight and I moon
Joined by the gods of fortune
Midnight and high noon
Sharing the sky
We have been blessed, you and I

You are here like a mystery
I’m from a world that’s so different
From all that you are
How in the light of one night
Did we come so far?

Outside day starts to dawn

Your moon still floats on high

The birds awake

The stars shine too

My hands still shake

I reach for you

And we meet in the sky!

You are sunlight and I moon
Joined here
Bright’ning the sky
With the flame
Of love

Made of
Sunlight
Moonlight

🌺 Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again ~ My Recording

Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again

~ Andrew Lloyd Webber / Richard Stilgoe / Charles Hart

You were once my one companion
You were all that mattered
You were once a friend and father
Then my world was shattered

Wishing you were somehow here again
Wishing you were somehow near
Sometimes it seem if I just dream
Somehow you would be here

Wishing I could hear your voice again
Knowing that I never will
Dreaming of you won’t help me to do
All that you dreamed I could

Passing bells and sculpted angels
Cold and monumental
Seem for you the wrong companions
You were warm and gentle

Wishing you were somehow here again
Wishing you were somehow near
Sometimes it seem if I just dream
Somehow you would be here

Wishing I could hear your voice again
Knowing that I never will
Dreaming of you won’t help me to do
All that you dreamed I could

Too many years
Fighting back tears
Why can’t the past just lie

Wishing you were somehow here again
Knowing we must say goodbye
Try to forgive teach me to live
Give me the strength to try

No more memories no more silent tears
No more gazing across the wasted years
Help me say goodbye

Here’s my take one! 😃

Link to the original song ~ A Little Fall of Rain (Les Misérables)

A Little Fall of Rain (Les Misérables)

~ Herbert Kretzmer / Claude Michel Schonberg / Jean Marc Natel / Alain Boublil

Don’t you fret, M’sieur Marius
I don’t feel any pain
A little fall of rain
Can hardly hurt me now
You’re here, that’s all I need to know
And you will keep me safe
And you will keep me close
And rain will make the flowers grow

(M’sieur Marius: But you will live, ‘Ponine – dear God above
If I could close your wounds with words of love)
Just hold me now, and let it be
Shelter me, comfort me

So don’t you fret, M’sieur Marius
I don’t feel any pain
A little fall of rain
Can hardly hurt me now
You’re here
That’s all I need to know
And you will keep me safe (And I will stay with you)
(‘Til you are sleeping) And you will keep me close
And rain (And rain)
Will make the flowers grow

I love this song. It’s so sweet! 🥰

Here’s my take one! 😃

Your Cold Little Hands

~ 莊奴

拂曉的陽光照在　照在那小湖上

fu xiao de yang guang zhao zai, zhao zai na xiao hu shang

The sunlight of the daybreak shines on, shines on that little lake

乘著那小白帆呀　快樂的向前航

cheng zhuo na xiao bai fan ya, kuai le de xiang qian hang

On that little white sail, happily sailing forward

昨夜有風雨聲呀　淋濕了花襯衫

zuo ye you feng yu sheng ya, lin shi liao hua chen shan

Last night there were sounds of wind and rain, they soaked my floral blouse

你那好冷的手呀　我要使它溫暖

ni na hao leng de shou ya, wo yao shi ta wen nuan

Your cold little hands, I would like to make them warm

可愛的吉他又在　又在我小手上

ke ai de ji ta you zai, you zai wo xiao shou shang

The lovely guitar is again, again in my little hands

美妙的弦在撥呀　歡笑的歌在唱

mei miao de xian zai bo ya, huan xiao de ge zai chang

The wonderful strings are played, singing the song of laughter

昨夜有風雨聲呀　淋濕了花襯衫

zuo ye you feng yu sheng ya, lin shi liao hua chen shan

Last night there were sounds of wind and rain, they soaked my floral blouse

你那好冷的手呀　我要使它溫暖

ni na hao leng de shou ya, wo yao shi ta wen nuan

Your cold little hands, I would like to make them warm

昨夜有風雨聲呀　淋濕了花襯衫

zuo ye you feng yu sheng ya, lin shi liao hua chen shan

Last night there were sounds of wind and rain, they soaked my floral blouse

你那好冷的手呀　我要使它溫暖

ni na hao leng de shou ya, wo yao shi ta wen nuan

Your cold little hands, I would like to make them warm

Here’s take one 😃

On My Own (Les Misérables)

(Link to On My Own ~ The Original London Cast)

And now I’m all alone again nowhere to go
No one to turn to
I did not want your money Sir
I came out here cause I was told to
And now the night is near
And I can make believe he’s here

Sometimes I walk alone at night
When everybody else is sleeping
I think of him and then I’m happy
With the company I’m keeping
The city goes to bed
And I can live inside my head

On my own, pretending he’s beside me
All alone, I walk with him ’til morning
Without him, I feel his arms around me
And when I lose my way I close my eyes
And he has found me

In the rain, the pavement shines like silver
All the lights are misty in the river
In the darkness, the trees are full of starlight
And all I see is him and me forever
And forever

And I know it’s only in my mind
That I’m talking to myself and not to him
And although I know that he is blind
Still I say, there’s a way for us

I love him, but when the night is over
He is gone, the river’s just a river
Without him, the world around me changes
The trees are bare and everywhere
The streets are full of strangers

I love him, but every day I’m learning
All my life, I’ve only been pretending
Without me, his world will go on turning
A world that’s full of happiness
That I have never known

I love him…
I love him…
I love him…
But only on my own

I’m not ready yet to start playing the guitar again, but I’m going to start singing again after not doing so for a long time. Thank goodness I stopped both contact tracing jobs. My voice turned hoarse for a long time, having to talk so much every day. It’s finally slowly starting to get better now…

Will be revising my recordings from time to time. Hope my voice will improve each and every time!

Here’s take one! 😃

Morning Has Broken

~ Cat Stevens

Morning has broken like the first morning
Blackbird has spoken like the first bird
Praise for the singing, praise for the morning
Praise for them springing fresh from the world

Sweet the rains new fall, sunlit from Heaven
Like the first dewfall on the first grass
Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden
Sprung in completeness where His feet pass

Mine is the sunlight, mine is the morning
Born of the one light, Eden saw play
Praise with elation, praise every morning
God’s recreation of the new day

Morning has broken like the first morning
Blackbird has spoken like the first bird
Praise for the singing, praise for the morning
Praise for them springing fresh from the world
