Lyrics: You know that it would be untrue You know that I would be a liar If I was to say to you, yeah Girl, we couldn’t get much higher Come on baby, light my fire Come on baby, light my fire Try to set the night on fire The time for hesitation is through There’s no time to wallow in the mire Darling we can only lose And our love become a funeral pyre Come on baby, light my fire Come on baby, light my fire Try to set the night on fire, yeah Yeah, you know that it would be untrue And you know that I would be a liar If I was to go and tell you Momma we couldn’t get much higher Well, come on baby, light my fire Come on baby, light my fire Try to set the night on fire, yeah Yeah, come on baby light, would you light my fire, yeah Come on baby light my fire, would you, oh it’s alright Light my fire, light my fire, light my fire Light my fire, light my fire, light my fire, girl You better light my fire Come on baby, you better light, you better light my fire
“‘I pray you…your play needs no excuse. Never excuse.”
William Shakespeare (English Playwright, Poet and Actor; April 1564 ~ April 23rd, 1616)
“I have to constantly remind myself that I don’t need an excuse anymore to make toys a part of my life. If I am to continue to grow as a human being and as an artist, it’s imperative for me to respect the power of play”
“Playing is hard for most women I know. Creating your own toy box symbolically suggests the importance of fun if you’re to function at full throttle.”
“Play is the exultation of the possible.”
Mark Buber (Austrian Jewish and Israeli Philosopher; February 8th, 1878 ~ June 13th, 1965)
“Play is needed by adults and children alike. Some assume to play is childish. However, adults need play just as much as children. We are just older and often society has shamed us into not playing. This is why you see so many adults in sports leagues, practicing hobbies and getting silly. Play is normal, so carry on!” (Heather Houston 3-6-22)
“Play has become my life…I live in one continuously, delicious, never-ending best date ever with my beloved!”❤️
