And today I begin the holiday-themed projects! I have a lot of fun things in store for the upcoming weeks, so I thought I would kick it off by posting a lovely song from my favorite holiday musical of all time, hands down. It's a little movie called "The Muppets Christmas Carol." I've said it before, but I'll say it again, this is the best interpretation of Dickens' Christmas Carol. Ever. In this song, Scrooge revisits his Christmas past, where in this version the love of his life, Belle, dumps him for being a cheap jerk unwilling to commit. It's a sad breakup song, and I love it. I hope some of you know it and will sing! (Sorry in advance for the track, as it's not the greatest quality).Here are the lyrics:
There was a time when I was sure
That you and I were truly one
That our future was forever
And would never come undone
And we came so close to being close
And though you cared for me
There's distance in your eyes tonight
So we're not meant to be
The love is gone
The love is gone
The sweetest dream
That you have ever known
The love is gone
The love is gone
I wish you well
But I must leave you now alone
There comes a moment in your life
Like a window and you see
Your future there before you
And how perfect life can be
But adventure calls with unknown voices
Pulling you away
Be careful or you may regret
The choice you make someday
The love is gone
The love is gone
The sweetest dream
That you have ever known
The love is gone
The love is gone
I wish you well
But I must leave you now alone
It was almost love
It was almost always
It was like a fairytale we'd live out
You and I
And yes some dream come true
And yes some dreams fall through
And yes the time has come for us to say goodbye
Yes some dreams come true
Yes some dreams fall through
And yes the time has come for us to say goodbye
Here's that scene from the movie! (Now available on Netflix, for those who have)
Oh yeah, that's Michael Caine. He's amazing.
