ALL ABOUT SHIRLEY is a documentary filmed by the BBC in 1972. The recordings took place in the studio in Germany and in Sardegna (Italy) where Shirley had her second home at the time named Tiger Bay in Porto Rotondo at the Costa Smeralda. Songs: Love story (from the album 'Something else') & 'Till love touches your life(from the album 'Something else') Part 6.
Lyrics Where do I begin? (Love story):
Where do I begin? To tell the story of how great a love can be The sweet love story that is older than the sea The simple truth about the love he brings to me Where do I start?
Like a summer rain That cools the pavement with a patent leather shine He came into my life and made the living fine And gave a meaning to this empty world of mine He fills my heart
He fills my heart with very special things With angels' songs, with wild imaginings He fills my soul with so much love That anywhere I go, I'm never lonely With him along, who could be lonely I reach for his hand, it's always there
How long does it last? Can love be measured by the hours in a day? I have no answers now, but this much I can say I'm going to need him till the stars all burn away And he'll be there
He fills my heart with very special things With angels' songs, with wild imaginings He fills my soul with so much love That anywhere I go, I'm never lonely With him along, who could be lonely I reach for his hand, it's always there
How long does it last? Can love be measured by the hours in a day? I have no answers now, but this much I can say I'm going to need him till the stars all burn away And he'll be there.
Lyrics 'Till love touches your life:
'Till love touches your life, You drift and you wander and you roam, Through towns and lives of strangers,
'Till love touches your life, Your heart doesn't ever feel at home.
You fight the world, And tell yourself you'r happy, But when love touches your life, You learn what it's really like to live.
The feel of home, The learning how to give, The need never to part. The warmth there in your heart. When love gently reaches out and touches your life,
When love touches your life,
Oh, the feel, of home, The learning how to give. The need never to part. The warmth in your heart. When love gently reaches out and touches your life. Your life, Your life, Your life, Your life, Your life......

Sardinia is a generally mountainous island with a few coastal plains. The island's mountains are divided into three ranges; the highest peaks are in the middle section of the island. Gennargentu, at 6,016 feet (1,834 m), is the highest point in Sardinia. Sardinia has few major rivers; the largest river on the island is the Tirso, which has a length of 94 miles (151 km) and flows into the Mediterranean Sea. The island has a Mediterranean climate, with hot, dry summers and very mild winters. The climate in the mountains tends to be wetter and cooler than the lower coastal plains; and winter snowfalls are not uncommon in the higher peaks. Sardinia also has more mountains than flat, low land and forests. The most spoken language in Sardinia is, undoubtedly, Italian, but Sardinian is widely spoken too. Sardinian is a Romance language of Latin origin, but with an obscure Pre-Roman element, including Phoenician, Etruscan, and Near Eastern languages. While it has been significantly supplanted by Italian for official purposes, Sardinian is still widely spoken in most rural parts and, stemming from a long history of oral tradition, is used culturally for folk songs and poetry. As a literary language, it is gaining clout, despite heated debate about the lack of standard orthography and controversial proposed solutions to this problem. Recently, the regional administration has approved the use of Limba Sarda Comuna in official documents. Economy: The Sardinian economy is today focused on tourism, mining, commerce, services and information technology; an increasing income is coming from its famous wines and gastronomy. The island contains numerous extraordinary tourist areas, Alghero, North West, with Capo Caccia astonishing cliffs and the famous Neptun Cave, and including the Costa Smeralda and Gennargentu. The island is particularly famous for its beaches, but is also rich in other interesting places, such as some charming sea towns and archaeological ruins. See also: Tourist destinations of Sardinia. Saipem a contractor in the oil and gas industry and a subsidiary of Eni S.p.A, operates a shipyard on Sardinia. Their main activity is the fabrication of offshore oil rigs. Several gold and silver mines operate on the island.
Environment: Sardinia is a precious natural resource, containing thousands of rare or uncommon animal and autochthonous plants and animals. The island's environment is improving due to strict environment laws.
