Friday, May 13, 2005 My last post was supposed to be the final one in Miss Cookie's Tales. However I was waiting for the CD of Little Women the Musical to come out so I could post these lyrics. When the character of Beth died (everyone knows this story, so it's not like I'm posting a spoiler) I was in tears -- partially because of the story, but I think it was more because of what it reminded me of. In Some Things Are Meant To Be, I kept thinking about Cookie...and with Days of Plenty it reminded me of Mamo because after she passed, I questioned: "who will remember that she mattered?" Anyhow, here are some of the lyrics... Some Things Are Meant To Be Music by Jason Howland; Lyrics by Mindi Dickstein (Beth and Jo sing this duet on a trip to Cape Cod just prior to Beth's death) ...Everyone has someone special in this world and I have you... Some things are meant to be The clouds moving fast and free The sun on a silver sea A sky that's bright and blue And some things will never end The thrill of our magic ride The love that I feel inside for you ... Pass the days doing only as we please That's what living is for... Some things are meant to be The tide turning endlessly The way it takes hold of me No matter what I do And somethings will never die The promise of who you are Your memories when I am far from you All my life, I've lived for loving you Let me go now... -------- Days of Plenty Music by Jason Howland; Lyrics by Mindi Dickstein (Sung by Marmee as she tells Jo how she copes with Beth's death) You have to believe There is reason for hope You have to believe That the answsers will come You can't let this defeat you I won't let this defeat you You must fight to keep her there within you So believe that she mattered And believe that she always will She will always be with you She'll be part of the days you've yet to fill She will live in your bounty She will live as you carry on your life So carry on full of hope She'll be there For all your days of plenty |
