DESPERATELY

Desperately, I need you desperately,
And all the stars in heaven couldn't be what you are to me;
You're in my every dream.
And your voice never calls down the shadowy halls to me.

Patiently, I'm waiting patiently,
But time must be a clock without a hand, an hourglass without sand:
It stands as still as you.
And your lips never say should I go-should I stay with you.

Poets have that special way of saying "I love you",
And making it ring true.
I wish that I could to. But....

Hopelessly, I've fallen hopelessly,
And nothing in this world could take the place of your quiet face;
It haunts me endlessly.
And your eyes never see all the longing in me for you.
Only God in the sky knows how desperately I need you.

(From the 1982 album "Blue November")

Robert, the music is lovely. Vermeer's work I was already most familiar with.

Thank you, sir

[Flrczk]

Thank you, MM!

[Flrczk]

Vielen Dank, mein Freund. Um ehrlich zu sein, diese Videos zu mir kommen in meinem Schlaf, so kann ich nicht nehmen Kredit für sie! Aber ich bin froh, dass du sie liebst, und ich werde sie auch weiterhin machen, wie sie zu mir kommen in meinem Schlaf.

I love this video! Great stuff! Its great how you turned all of Vermeer's paintings into a narrative! Fantastic!

[blitzwurfel]

Was it the "Girl With the Wine Glass" or the"Babe WithThe Budweiser?" Outside of thar, Vermeer 's women were marked by little or no appeal unless you liked high foreheads.

[Bariebel]

Love that song and the displayed Johannes Vermeer painting of the "Girl with a Pearl Earring".

Very beautiful!

[Bariebel]

Hi Rob;

I just keep listening - it is so wonderful!

[Flrczk]

High foreheads really do it for me.
