Cherry Blossoms Bloom Around the World
To see more cherry blossoms in bloom visit San Francisco’s Japantown, the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, Kyoto’s Maruyama Park (円山公園) and Tokyo’s Chidorigafuchi (千鳥ヶ淵).
Cherry blossoms are tiny pink and white flowers that bloom en masse and grow from the branches of the Japanese Cherry tree. As many cities around the world celebrate with festivals, picnics under the sakura and flower-viewing parties, Instagrammers around the world are capturing beautiful photographs of the short-lived blossoms.
Dancing
Elisa
Time is gonna take my mind
and carry it far away where I can fly
the depth of life will dim
my temptation to live for you
if I were to be alone silence would rock my tears
‘cause it’s all about love and I know better
how life is a waving feather
so I put my arms around you, around you
and I know that I’ll be leaving soon
my eyes are on you, they’re on you
and you see that I can’t stop shaking
no I won’t step back
but I’ll look down to hide from eyes
‘cause what I feel is so sweet
and I’m scared that even my own breath
oh, could burst it, if it were a bubble
and I’d better dream if I have to struggle
so I put my arms around you, around you
and I hope that I will do no wrong
my eyes are on you, they’re on you
and I hope that you won’t hurt me
I’m dancing in the room
as if I was in the woods with you
don’t need for anything but music
music’s the reason why I know time still exists
time still exists
time still exists
time still exists
so I just put my arms around you, around you
and I hope that I will do no wrong
my eyes are on you, they’re on you
and I hope that you won’t hurt me
my arms around you, they’re round you
and I hope that I will do no wrong
my eyes are on you, they’re on you, they’re on you
my eyes…
Feeling life every day.
DAD
K’s Choice
I was a kid you were my dad
I didn’t always understand
I wanted freedom you got mad
You were concerned I got upset
I didn’t recognize you yet
And did you cry I know I did
When I lied to you
I didn’t want to hurt you
I just never knew I did
You never told me that you loved me
I know you didn’t know how
I guess that shows we’re much the same
‘Cause I love you too and until now
I’ve never said those words out loud
I hope you’re proud
To be my dad…
What are your secrets, do you pray
Is there a god that shows your way
I wish I knew…
Do you have crazy fantasies
What happens in your dreams
I want to know…
I guess you’ll always be a mystery to me
But you taught me how to value life
And what else do I need
I have a dad who watches over me
TRUE COLOURS
Cindy Lauper
You with the sad eyes
Don’t be discouraged
Oh I realize
It’s hard to take courage
In a world full of people
You can lose sight of it all
And the darkness inside you
Can make you feel so small
But I see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that’s why I love you
So don’t be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful,
Like a rainbow
Show me a smile then,
Don’t be unhappy, can’t remember
When I last saw you laughing
If this world makes you crazy
And you’ve taken all you can bear
You call me up
Because you know I’ll be there
And I’ll see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that’s why I love you
So don’t be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful,
Like a rainbow
