Cheers! |

(Grouped Users of Microsoft Bitter and Organized). They found it helped them through their twelve-step program to rational computing. The first step, of course, is to recognize that even if no one is saying so, there is a problem.... Regards, A |

This is a song I used to sing along with when I went to university (many years ago). I now suspect it was an original by one of my classmates, because, try as I might, I cannot find it. I still remember the melody. Some of the verses are:
Comfort me with apples. Torture me with tears.
Tell me that you love me. Pretend your love is true.
Sing me pretty love words and I will do the same. |

The actual title apparently is "So many others" by Rod McKuen. http://www.mckuen.com/flights/310105.htm SO MANY OTHERS (Rod McKuen) Comfort me with apples torture me with tears make up for the lonely days and all the lonesome years. Place your little fingers here within my hand there've been So Many Others who didn't understand. Bring me pretty marbles the best that you can find, sing to me of rivers it helps to ease my mind. Talk me pretty love words and I will do the same, there've been So Many Others who didn't ask my name. They'd look at me and wonder what is he thinking of when all I ever wanted was lullabies and love. Tell me that I'm handsome and lots of other lies, come along and love me with little summer sighs. And even if you leave me pretend your love is true, there've been So Many Others there might as well be you. Words & Music by Rod McKuen © 1964 by Stanyan Music & Rod McKuen. |
