This is something I wrote for Andrea before I learned of the cancer. However, as rapidly as things went I never got to share it with her. Now that her spirit is here I will share it through all of you with her. It was intended to be an insert in her birthday card which would of been the 26th of December.
She always had words to make me feel better. She always knew what to say. I don't know why or how. But she did. She also had outstanding timing to cut through the most tense situations.
The way she handled herself and the way she treated others definatley inspired me.
It was nice to read the lovely words you wrote for Lea intended for her Birthday Card. Lea's family, friends and fans will be touched by them. Thank you for publishing them.
On one of my postings on the CSS Forum, I quoted a few words of a lovely song recorded by Mario Lanza amongst others, "All The Things You Are".
The full wording is below. Every devotee of lovely Lea would happily subscribe to these words I am sure,...
You are the promised kiss of Springtime That makes the lonely Winter seem long. You are the breathless hush of evening That trembles on the brink of a lovely song.
You are the Angel glow that lights a star, The dearest things I know are what you are.
Some day my happy arms will hold you, And some day I'll know that moment divine, When all the things you are, are mine.
(Jerome Kern/Oscar Hammerstein II)
On the music cd I have, this is followed by the song (made famous by our own Vera Lynn in the Second World War), "I'll Be Seeing You". These lyrics are,...
I’ll be seeing you In all the old familiar places That this heart of mine embraces All day through
In that small café The park across the way The children’s carousel The chestnut trees The wishing well
I’ll be seeing you In every lovely Summer’s day In everything that’s light and gay I’ll always think of you that way
I’ll find you in the morning Sun And when the night is new I’ll be looking at the Moon But I’ll be seeing you
