Care A Lot!

This may seem like a sophomoric posting of a 7 year old. However, this song is a song I have sang on countless occaisions through out my life. The Care Bear Movie was my favorite movie as a child. Stephen learnt this little tid bit about me our first telephone conversation. Less than a week later, guess who got an email with the song attached? Stephen thinks this is the day he won my heart. Who knows....

CARE-A-LOT
Carole King

LYRICS

Care-a-lot is a place we all can go
Whenever we choose it
Care-a-lot is a feeling we all know
We never do lose it

We can find a secret place
To rest and make a new start
If you don't know where it is
Look inside your heart

Care-a-lot is a playground you can find
For laughing and swinging
Carousels playing music in your mind
For dancing and singing

Sometimes you feel so glad
Sometimes you feel so blue
Share your feelings, it's not bad
Feelings are not you

When you're lonely, don't you fret
You're not alone, you just tend to forget
Care-a-lot is easily found
You've been there and you have friends who care
Don't you let your sadness get you down

It always helps when you sing a song
Good cheer carries you along
Darkness leads to sunlight
A new day comes--it's all right

Care-a-lot is a place you'd like to be
Riding on a cloud
You'll care a lot, it's a rainbow fantasy
For laughing out loud

Care-a-lot is a place we all can go
Come to Care-a-lot, it's a place we all can go
Come to Care-a-lot
Share-a-lot
Care-a-lot

I just closed my eyes and sang the song and I felt light and happy. I was just instantly filled with joyous thoughts and felt that I could do anything in this world. The thing is I also saw Stephen's face. Hmmm Maybe he did plant a seed on that night in my heart. Who knew?
