To Rod this ability of yours love loss of love put to words for all the globe to see ~*~ A Man Alone needs his single Night so perhaps, a woman, too, for once I've Been to Town going From Promise to Promise looking for The Single Man but finding only The Beautiful Strangers all of the Lonesome Cities tell me again, and again, Love's Been Good to Me so I'm only wondering why Empty Is something far, Out Beyond The Window so give me now Some Traveling Music while I look for the right one, the one, A Man Alone ~*~ so thanks for putting in to words my feelings for all the globe to see as your music sings your poetry ~*~ All songs in Italics are the song titles to Sinatra's "A Man Alone", words and music by Rod McKuen.

Rod translated Jacques Brel's "If You Go Away" into English and did a great job. Maybe I can sing it for you on my new computer some time. |

Easy to be a man alone.. Just learn to make The whole wide world your home.. Don't talk to strangers - Someone might be kind And muddle up your mind... Beautiful lyrics by a master... |

You sure did him proud, and glad to hear you sent it to his site too. He did translate "If You Go Away" and I will vouch for Richard, who has the most awesome baritone voice I think I have ever heard sing it! ~*~ Carpe' Diem ~*~ |
