I Smile!!

I dedicate this song to recession,
depression and unemployment.
This song’s for you.

Today’s a new day, but there is no sunshine.
Nothing but clouds, and it’s dark in my heart
and it feels like a cold night.
Today’s a new day, but where are my blue skies.
Where is the love and the joy that you promised me
tell me it’s alright.

(I’ll be honest with you)

I almost gave up, but a power that I can’t explain,
fell from heaven like a shower now.

(When I think how much better I’m gonna be when this is over)

[ Lyrics from http://www.songonlyrics.com/kirk-franklin-i-smile-lyrics ]

I smile, even though I hurt see I smile,
I know God is working so I smile,
Even though I’ve been here for a while
I smile, smile..
It’s so hard to look up when you look down.
Sure would hate to see you give up now.
You look so much better when you smile, so smile.

Today’s a new day, but there is no sunshine.
Nothing but clouds, and it’s dark in my heart
and it feels like a cold night.
Today’s a new day, but tell me where are my blue skies,
where is the love and the joy that you promised me
tell me it’s – alright.

(the truth is)
I almost gave up, but a power that I can’t explain
fell from heaven like a shower now.

I smile, even though I’m hurt see I smile,
I know God is working so I smile,
Even though I’ve been here for a while
I smile, smile.
It’s so hard to look up when you look down.
Sure would hate to see you give up now
You look so much better when you smile.

Smile.. for me
Can you just smile… for me.
Smile.. for me
Can you just smile… for me.

ohohoh, you look so much better when you
ohohoh, you look so much better when you
ohohoh, you look so much better when you
ohohoh, you look so much better when you
ohohoh, you look so much better when you
(and while your waiting)
ohohoh, you look so much better when you
(and while your praying)
ohohoh, you look so much better when you
(look in the mirror)
ohohoh, you look so much better when you smile

I almost gave up, but a power that I can’t explain
fell from heaven like a shower now – right now.

I smile, even though I’m hurt see I smile,
I know God is working so I smile,
Even though I’ve been here for a while
I smile, smile..
it’s so hard to look up when you look down.
Sure would hate to see you give up now.
You look so much better when you smile.
so smile.

ohohoh, you look so much better when you
ohohoh, you look so much better when you
ohohoh, you look so much better when you
ohohoh, you look so much better when you
ohohoh, you look so much better when you
ohohoh, you look so much better when you
ohohoh, you look so much better when you
ohohoh, you look so much better when you
smile…

I just want you to be happy..
I want you to have joy ’cause can’t nobody
take that away from you.
I see you.. SMILE!!

À minha maneira...

And now the end is near
And so I face the final curtain
My friend I'll say it clear
I'll state my case of which I'm certain

... I've lived a life that's full
I traveled each and every highway
And more, much more than this
I did it my way

Regrets I've had a few
But then again too few to mention
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption

I planned each charted course
Each careful step along the byway
And more, much more than this
I did it my way

Yes there were times I'm sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew

But through it all when there was doubt
I ate it up and spit it out, I faced it all
And I stood tall and did it my way

I've loved, I've laughed and cried
I've had my fill, my share of losing
And now as tears subside
I find it all so amusing

To think I did all that
And may I say not in a shy way
Oh no, oh no, not me
I did it my way

For what is a man what has he got
If not himself then he has not
To say the things he truly feels
And not the words of one who kneels
The record shows I took the blows

And did it my way

Todos têm o seu preço

Momentos - Morraceira

Num destes dias revisitei a paisagem da Morraceira.

Tempo algum poderá apagar estes momentos passados com o meu filhote, o Riky.

Jorge Lemos - até um dia, meu velho...

Faz hoje 11 anos que subitamente meu Pai (Jorge Miranda Lemos) deixou esta vida.

Todos os dias, mas mesmo todos, me lembro dele e do carinho, amor e extrema dedicação à família.

É, sem sombra de dúvida, uma das poucas referências e exemplos de rectidão que tento perseguir.
Espero honrar a memória dele.

Até um dia destes, meu velho.

Parabéns, filhote!

O meu Riky faz hoje sete anos.
É tão pequenino mas tão importante nas nossas vidas.

Todos os dias, mas mesmo todos, estão cheios de momentos de alegria que ficarão para sempre nas nossas mentes e corações.


Porque tu, meu filhote, meu tesouro, és a nossa vida.


És uma criança super-meiga, carinhosa, inteligente e atenta a tudo o que se passa à tua volta.


Tens-nos dado grandes lições de vida, mas a maior, é este amor vivo, pulsante, cheio de energia e que nunca se esgota e que a todos os segundos nos ofereces.


E como te costumo dizer, o mundo é muito mais bonito visto de cima. Só tens de o conquistar. Acredita que estarei sempre por perto para te apoiar.


Beijos do pai que te adora até às estrelas.

Delerium - Angelicus

Por vezes o silêncio fala mais alto...

As pessoas afivelam uma máscara, e ao cabo de alguns anos acreditam piamente que é ela o seu verdadeiro rosto. E quando a gente
lha arranca, ficam em carne viva, doridas e desesperadas, incapazes de compreender que o gesto violento foi a melhor prova de respeito que poderíamos dar.

Virgem Suta - O que é nacional é (muito) bom...

My baby you

As I look into your eyes
I see all the reasons why
My life’s worth a thousand skies
You’re the simplest love I’ve known
And the purest one I’ll own
Know you’ll never be alone

My baby you
Are the reason I could fly
And 'cause of you
I don’t have to wonder why
Baby you
There’s no more just getting by
You’re the reason I feel so alive.

Though these words I sing are true
They still fail to capture you
As mere words can only do
How do I explain that smile?
And how it turns my world around
Keeping my feet on the ground

I will soothe you if you fall
I’l be right there if you call
You’re my greatest love of all

you are the reason I could fly
and 'cause of you
I don't have to wonder why
My baby you
there's no more just getting by
'cause you're the reason I feel so alive
