Tonight's moon was epic! I wish I had a better camera to capture what we all saw, but that's the way of it sometimes. If you didn't see it, you'll just have to take my word for it.
The moon has fascinated humans as long as there have been humans. I did a web search of quotes about the moon. I thought it would be cool to post some of my pictures an include some notable quotes. There were so many, even a couple of excellent quotes by Jack Handy.
None of the quotes, however, seemed appropriate. They just didn't feel right. Then I remembered back when I was a member of the University of Utah's A'cappella Choir, a few friends and I sang Harry Connick Jr.'s wonderful song, Heavenly, and I found the poetry I wanted to include. So, if you haven't heard this little a'cappella number, you ought to check it out. I love it.
Here's the lyrics:
*He's always happy
He never looks mean
Even if the sun should
Come in between
The man in the moon is smiling
'Cause he's in love
The man in the moon is smiling
'Cause he's in love with the girl in the world
She's there in the evening
She never comes late
All day she spins around
But never makes him wait
The girl in the world is smiling
'Cause she's in love
The girl in the world is smiling
'Cause she's in love with the man in the moon
When two heavenly bodies glow
All the stars agree
A planet might be born
Maybe even a galaxy
And in the morning
They don't say goodbye
But with a kiss
They blend into the sky
Oh, they're smiling
'Cause they're in love
The man in the moon is smiling
'Cause he's in love with the girl in the world
The man in the moon is smiling
'Cause he's in love with the girl in the world
Heavenly
