LOVE CAN MAKE YOU HAPPY

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> I chose "Love Can Make You Happy", by MERCY as the theme for Ginger's Celebration of Life Memorial Service. The lyrics are poignant They are entirely reflective of the love Ginger and I shared. Its true that 'love will make you happy, if you find someone who cares to give a lifetime to you and who has a love to share". But there is another stanza that says "If you think you've found someone you'll love forever more, then it's worth the price you'll have to pay". For me the price is the pain of loss, when the one you love is gone from your arms. Yet, who among us would not trade the "price" of pain for a lifetime of love. To love deeply and be truly loved for whatever time we are gifted. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> If you don't remember this song, from long ago, go to I-Tunes or YouTube and listen with JOY to the beautiful song by MERCY and think of LOVE given and received as the greatest gift you can give and receive. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Sung by MERCY, released April 1969 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Songwriters: HOLLAND, EDWARD, JR./HOLLAND, BRIAN/DOZIER, LAMONT HERBERT ////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Wake up in the morning,,,, With the sunshine in your eyes, And the smell of flowers blooming Fills the air ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Your mind is filled with the thoughts, Of a certain someone - That you love ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Your life is filled with joy When she is there. ..............................................
