lyrics
“I Don’t Like Goodbyes / Over The Rainbow” –…
I finally got all my papers in order and everything is set for me to leave on Sunday. I’ve been listening to this song a lot for the past 2 weeks ever since the despedida I had in Tagaytay with the Baranggay-an folks (Romi, Zhai, Orly, and Claire). It’s very apt for this point in my life, especially since it does feel like a lot of my dreams are coming true.
I love, Love, LOVE Patti LaBelle. I previously posted her VH1 performance of “Love Need and Want You / If Only You Knew”. She is such a tour de force when she sings. The video I’ve embedded is my favorite of her live versions of this song, though it doesn’t have actual footage of her singing. I would highly recommend that you check out her live performances in YouTube if you haven’t done so before. Mama Patti takes you to church every time, and her voice is enough to heal and save you, praise Jesus!
“I Don’t Like Goodbyes / Over The Rainbow”
Patti LaBelle
It’s not easy, it’s never been easy
To let anyone see the sentimental side of me
As hard as I try I can’t help, I can’t help but show
It’s my heart you’re taking when you go
Somewhere over the rainbow way up high
There’s a land that I’ve heard of once in a lullaby
Someday I’ll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me (so far)
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Way above the chimney tops
That’s where, that’s where,
That’s where you will find, find, find me
Somewhere, somewhere over the rainbow blue birds fly
If a teeny weenie bird, if a teeny weenie bird
If a teeny weenie bird can fly over, over the rainbow
Then won’t somebody please tell me
Oh why, oh why, can’t I
When you wish upon a star
Makes no difference who you are
Your dreams, your dreams will come true
