William M. Thackeray

L'amour Est Bleu

Blue, blue, my world is blue
Blue is my world now I'm without you
Gray, gray, my life is gray
Cold is my heart since you went away

(Sung by Andy Williams)

Every Flower Was Once A Seed

When I reach the place I'm goin'
I will surely know my way
And I will turn and look inside me
And bid farewell to one more day

Every light begins with darkness
Every flower was once a seed
And with the sun and wind to test us
We are bound to be released

I will fly beyond this valley
And I will open up the gate
And when I reach the place I'm goin'
I will surely know my way

We have hands to hold our sorrows
We have tears to heal the pain
And though your eyes ask many questions
On your lips I hear my name

I was born without a whisper
I was born beneath the rain
But when I reach the place I'm goin'
I will surely know my way
I will surely know my way

(Emory Gordy Jr./Joe Henry)
Sung by Wynonna Judd

Poppies

"As for marigolds, poppies, hollyhocks, and valorous sunflowers, we shall never have a garden without them, both for their own sake, and for the sake of old-fashioned folks, who used to love them."
Henry Ward Beecher
