I want to be a singsong girl in a singsong world












Katie Melua, Adele, Lisa Mitchell, Kate Winslet, Lea Michele and Julie Andrews.




I heard you singing

Harry Rodney Bennett



I heard you singing when the dawn was grey
And silver dew on every blossom lay;
Though the rising sun too soon drank up the dew,
I thought I heard you singing all the long day through.
I heard you singing in the silent hour
When evening came with sleep for bird and flower:
A song like happy murmuring of woodland streams,
I thought I heard you singing down the vale of dreams.
Beloved, when the last call echoes clear,
And I must part from all that is so dear,
I shall not fear the valley that before me lies,
If I may hear you singing as I close my eyes.




One of my greatest wishes is to have a beautiful voice. A voice that can belt out my favourite musical songs and that can hit a high C. But no. I'm blessed with a low, creaking one, without colour or tune. I sing nonetheless, ask anyone, but I would like to have a talent for singing. Everyone knows that I have a weakness for musicals and have wanted to be a musicalstar ever since I was little. Tha dream outgrew me and of course I am aware of the fact that I can't dance, act or sing. But I dream about it, and hope that someday someone will discover a talent in me. I am watching Star! at the moment, with Julie Andrews and I am as always amazed by the incredible grace of that woman. This movie is great, btw, I recommend it ^^
