I titled my new blog this because I thought it was cute and it reflected my whimsical nature and also one of my favorite books for my son. When I did a google search on this, it brought up a song written by Sting and The Police. I thought that was cool...until I started reading:
Once upon a daydream
I fell in love with you
Once upon a moonbeam
I gave that love to you
Once upon a lifetime
I know it must be true
When the months had turned us
I’d have to marry you
Once upon a daydream
Doesn’t happen anymore
Once upon a moonbeam
This is no place for tenderness
Once her daddy found out
He threw her to the floor
He killed her unborn baby
And kicked me from the door
Once upon a nightmare
I bought myself a gun
I blew her daddy’s brains out
Now hell has just begun
Once upon a daydream
Doesn’t happen anymore
Once upon a moonbeam
This is no place for sentiment
Once upon a lifetime
A lifetime filled with tears
The boy would pay for his crime
With all his natural years
Once upon a daydream
He’d make you his someday
Once upon a moonbeam
He’d dream his life away
Once upon a daydream
Doesn’t happen anymore
Once upon a moonbeam
This is no place for miracles
Once upon a daydream
Once upon a daydream
Once upon a daydream
Once upon a day... dream
Unwed pregnancy, domestic abuse, and murder wasn't exactly what I was thinking. I haven't heard this song, but the lyrics made me think twice about the title of this blog! So much for whimsy, creativeness and innocence, huh?!? :)

That's like when people want "Every Breath You Take" played at their wedding... uhhh... guys? You do realize the song is about an obsessive guy right?
ReplyDeleteBut speaking of moonbeams, there's two songs that come to mind... first is "Little Wing" by Jimi Hendrix (and remade by Sting!):
Well shes walking through the clouds
With a circus mind thats running round
Butterflies and zebras
And moonbeams and fairy tales
Thats all she ever thinks about
Riding with the wind.
When Im sad, she comes to me
With a thousand smiles, she gives to me free
Its alright she says its alright
Take anything you want from me, anything
Anything.
Fly on little wing,
Yeah yeah, yeah, little wing
The second song is Van Morrison's "Moondance"... While it doesn't talk specifically about moonbeams, it's pretty close and contains one of my favorite made-up words, fantabulous:
Well, it's a marvelous night for a moondance
With the stars up above in your eyes
A fantabulous night to make romance
neath the cover of October skies
And all the leaves on the trees are falling
To the sound of the breezes that blow
And I'm trying to please to the calling
Of your heart-strings that play soft and low
And all the nights magic seems to whisper and hush
And all the soft moonlight seems to shine in your blush
Can I just have one a more moondance with you, my love
Can I just make some more romance with a-you, my love
Well, I wanna make love to you tonight
I can't wait til the morning has come
And I know that the time is just right
And straight into my arms you will run
And when you come my heart will be waiting
To make sure that you're never alone
There and then all my dreams will come true, dear
There and then I will make you my own
And every time I touch you, you just tremble inside
And I know how much you want me that you can't hide
Can I just have one a more moondance with you, my love
Can I just make some more romance with a-you, my love
Repeat 1st verse
One more moondance with you in the moonlight
On a magic night
La, la, la, la in the moonlight
On a magic night
Can't I just have one more dance with you my love
