Carmen De Boheme
Sinuously winding through the room
On smokey tongues of sweetened cigarettes, --
Plaintive yet proud the cello tones resume
The andante of smooth hopes and lost regrets.
Bright peacocks drink from flame-pots by the wall,
Just as absinthe-sipping women shiver through
With shimmering blue from the bowl in Circe's hall.
Their brown eyes blacken, and the blue drop hue.
The andante quivers with crescendo's start,
And dies on fire's birth in each man's heart.
The tapestry betrays a finger through
The slit, soft-pulling; -- -- -- and music follows cue.
There is a sweep, -- a shattering, -- a choir
Disquieting of barbarous fantasy.
The pulse is in the ears, the heart is higher,
And stretches up through mortal eyes to see.
Carmen! Akimbo arms and smouldering eyes; --
Carmen! Bestirring hope and lipping eyes; --
Carmen whirls, and music swirls and dips.
"Carmen!," comes awed from wine-hot lips.
Finale leaves in silence to replume
Bent wings, and Carmen with her flaunts through the gloom
Of whispering tapestry, brown with old fringe: --
The winers leave too, and the small lamps twinge.
Morning: and through the foggy city gate
A gypsy wagon wiggles, striving straight.
And some dream still of Carmen's mystic face, --
Yellow, pallid, like ancient lace.

Carmen
Last night she ran away
Left a letter by the telephone
She didnt take the time to say goodbye
He knows he has to find her
Find a way to make her come back home
She stretched her wings and learned to fly
Carmen
Carmen, dont you care for me
Carmen
Carmen, dont you care
Carmen, dont you care for me
He calls but theres no answer
Operator, ring it one more time
He thinks of her and shuts his eyes
She wears the ring he gave her
Something magic, and it once was mine
Will she be thinking of him tonight?
Carmen
Carmen, dont you care for me

He steals into the night
Hell go mad without her
Im so mad about her

Goodbye Carmen
And her eyes are like skies that will rain
But theres work to be done, and she does not complain
Her children are so far away
I heard you crying, I heard you pray
Now you must go, and its so hard to say
Chorus:
Goodbye, carmen
Thank you for staying with us for a while [with your pretty smile]
And someday youll get home again
Goodbye, carmen
Hasta manana or who knows when (it all depends)
Goodbye...
Were convinced our intentions are good
But we live in this world often misunderstood
Can you feel it? (uh-huh)
I can feel it (d-doh)
And no one seems to care much, and its so hard to say
(chorus)
Carmen...careful what you do, be careful what you see, carmen
We will always be with you
Turn around but shes lost in the sun
There was so much to say, but shes already gone, so
Thank you carmen, dont be afraid this is not the end,
So rest your head, I hope someday we will meet again.
Goodbye, carmen
Hasta manana or never again
But youre my friend carmen
Goodbye...goodbye...goodbye..........

They Dont Dance Like Carmen No More
By: jimmy buffett
1973
Walkin down new streets, music is loud
Neon signs bring in tumultuous crowds
But Im just an old man, Id probably get sore
cause they dont dance like carmen no more
She and ol cougie, my what a pair
Jus doin the rhumba as no one else dared
Slidin and glidin cross hollywood floors
But they dont dance like carmen no more
-- spoken:
Take it marvin
Shk chk, shk chk, shk chk
Well now she had a big hat, my it was high
Had bananas and mangos all piled to the sky
How she could balance it, I wouldnt dare
But they dont dance like carmen nowhere
Shk chk, shk chk, shk chk
Ah but the ladys not with us, she died long ago
And they dont show her movies on late midnight shows
cause the kids would get restless, and the grown-ups would snore
cause they dont dance like carmen no more
Well now she and old cougie, my what a pair
Just doin the boogie as no one else dared
Slidin and glidin cross hardwood waxed floors
But they dont dance like carmen no more
No more
No no no more
And Im just an old man, Id probably get sore
But they dont dance like carmen no more
Nah they dont dance like carmen no more
Coda:
Ten cents dance, I might take a chance
But they dont dance like carmen no more

C. Bledsoe: In Remembrance
Eighty years old plus a week and three days
Today your suffering is finally through
Leaving behind-your sweet Carmen
But soaring through the Heavens Divine wisps of blue;
It was eight months of horrific suffering
But guess that God needed you more up there
So loved upon this Earth from the moment of your birth
Still loved-although you are no longer here;
God Bless You-Sweet Cecil-God Bless You
You will be missed and to that we all can attest
For you were so loved-blessed by our God above
Quite simply-you were one of Gods very best! ;
June 16,2010 at 6: 00 P.M.
Rest In Peace.
Dedicared to C. Bledsoe
And for his sweet Carmen

Andante, Andante
Take it easy with me, please
Touch me gently like a summer evening breeze
Take your time, make it slow
Andante, andante
Just let the feeling grow
Make your fingers soft and light
Let your body be the velvet of the night
Touch my soul, you know how
Andante, andante
Go slowly with me now
Im your music
(I am your music and I am your song)
Im your song
(I am your music and I am your song)
Play me time and time again and make me strong
(play me again cause youre making me strong)
Make me sing, make me sound
(you make me sing and you make me)
Andante, andante
Tread lightly on my ground
Andante, andante
Oh please dont let me down
Theres a shimmer in your eyes
Like the feeling of a thousand butterflies
Please dont talk, go on, play
Andante, andante
And let me float away
Im your music
(I am your music and I am your song)
Im your song
(I am your music and I am your song)
Play me time and time again and make me strong
(play me again cause youre making me strong)
Make me sing, make me sound

Death Pities
Oh fair without yet pitch within
Beauties outer cover hides the rot.
The skin pale so soft to touch, is ice.
The eyes deep, hold no warmth.
The rosy lips carmen red, smile
But it never reaches the soul.
For that you have sold too cheaply.
You are all for outward show, sick,
An empty vessel that holds no joy.
Your honeyed words cloy and poison
Corrupt the air and blacken the rose.
Death pities but cannot touch,
For you are already dead.

Crops of love and pitchers of wine,
Drink some wine and make some love;
For i have seen your beauty from afar!

Symphony In Red
I can't believe how four
sounds red to me!
Am I seeing red
wherever I turn my eyes,
or is this an aberration
of my mind?
Funny, pretty red!
Red when one is in the red,
When our eyes are red form crying,
and the cheeks turn red
from the icy cold of winter.
Bloody, bloody red
from the red madness of our world.
Red, more an more red;
all seems to be red,
as if in life merry go round
only red were to be found!

The Flute And Carmen
yes, i remember that night
when i sent you the song
about carmen
just a flute, and i know it
made you cry
i may pretend
and ask you why
deep in my heart
i know
what pain is
when there is no cure

Make Me Lose Control
(eric carmen/dean pitchford)
Recorded by eric carmen
Arista as1-9686 / 1988
I run a comb through my hair
And step out in the street
And the citys the color of flame
In the mid-summer heat
Oh yeah
Jennifers got her daddys car,
Shes playing uptown on the stereo
We go cruisin so close,
The way they did long ago
My darlin
(turn) turn the radio up for that sweet sound
Hold me close never let me go
(keep) keep this feelin alive
Make me lose control
Baby, baby
(when) when I look in your eyes, I go crazy
Fevers high with the lights down low
(so take) take me over the edge
Make me lose control
We put the top down and park neath the moon
In the sky
And the wind is so hot in our hair, like a fire in july
Whoa yeah
Jennifers singin stand by me,
And she knows every single word by heart
Was love always this good?
Or could this be just the start?
Whoa darlin
(turn) turn the radio up for that sweet sound
Hold me close never let me go
(keep) keep this feelin alive
Make me lose control
Baby, baby
(when) when I look in your eyes, I go crazy
Fevers high with the lights down low
(so take) take me over the edge
Make me lose control
Be my baby comes on, and were movin in time
And the heat from your touch makes me feel
Like Im losing my mind
Whoa yeah
(and then they played) back in my arms again
(we close our eyes) we start rememberin when
(we start to kiss) and now the feelings intense
And we just pray that this night never ends
Wohohoho, my darlin
(turn) turn the radio up for that sweet sound
Hold me close never let me go
Keep this feelin alive
Make me lose control
Baaby
When I look in your eyes, I go crazy
Fevers high with the lights down low
(so take) take me over the edge
Make me lose control
Baby, baby
(turn) turn the radio up for that sweet sound
Hold me close never let me go
(keep) keep this feelin alive
Make me lose control
When I look in your eyes, I go crazy
Fevers high with the lights down low
(so take) take me over the edge
Make me lose control
Baby, baby
(turn) turn the radio up for that sweet sound
Hold me close never let me go
(keep) keep this feelin alive
Make me lose control
