Only Love Is Real<BR>
_________________<BR>
<BR>
Through lifetimes we meet<BR>
One look in each other’s eyes<BR>
One touch, even accidentally<BR>
Reunites our very being<BR>
Making alive our lost souls<BR>
<BR>
Souls empty without one another<BR>
Different in every existence<BR>
Another time another place<BR>
Worlds apart culturally<BR>
Yet so similar, perfectly fitting<BR>
<BR>
Though we love and lose each other<BR>
Through the generations<BR>
Regardless of time<BR>
Over & over<BR>
Our hearts search for those smiling eyes<BR>
<BR>
In our spirits & minds<BR>
Our souls are one<BR>
Our true Love reigns<BR>
United in thoughts<BR>
Unified in our dreams<BR>
<BR>
We are parted into our own worlds<BR>
Where circumstances are merciless and inevitable<BR>
<BR>
Only love is real<BR>
<BR>
Only our love is real<BR>
No matter who else shares our lives<BR>
Regardless of the Angels<BR>
Who give us love & protect us <BR>
When we’re not together<BR>
<BR>

TK's middle name is Louis after Mr Armstrong, if TK had of been a girl, his middle name was to be Ella. <BR>
What would have been interesting is that one of the 'Yuroba' names (thats Ade's language) we'd picked was Sade, as in Sade Adu, who comes from the same tribe... Sade Ella.... two great Jazz singers, and neither Ade or I can sing worth a damn.<BR>

dee...i have an entire cd that's purely ella/louis duets. it's FABULOUS. good idea - but we're both into jazz - so it's not as nauseating as i was going for. maybe when i make him a real love cd. this one is more punishment for him not celebrating valentine's day. :-)

OMG slug!<BR>

I may actually have the same cd (well, I do if it is "Best of Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong" on Verve)!  When I was a teenager I adored Dad's "Ella and Louis" (we are talking lp album, before CDs were invented, and the album was recorded in 1956, mind you).  Although he was more of a Peggy Lee and Julie London fan (and I inherited his adoration of sultry smoky-voiced singers and their often understated voices)...  Anyway, I love those old standards...
