#64 This Girl’s In Love With You (Dionne Warwick) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
You see this girl
This girl’s in love with you
Yes I’m in love
Who looks at you the way I do
When you smile I can tell
We know each other very well
How can I show
You I’m glad
I got to know you ‘Cause
I’ve heard some talk🪄
They say you think I’m fine
This girl’s in love
And what I’d do to make you mine
Tell me now is it so
Don’t let me be the last to know
My hands are shakin’
Don’t let my heart keep breaking up
I need your love
I want your love🪄
Say you’re in love
And you’ll be my guy
If not I’ll just die🪄
Music##🪄
Tell me now is it so
Don’t let me be the last to know
My hands are shakin’
Don’t let my heart keep breaking up
I need your love
I want your love
Say you’re in love
And you’ll be my guy
If not I’ll just die🪄

The Fragrant Home

“I wish that life should not be cheap, but sacred, I wish the days to be as centuries, loaded, fragrant.”

Ralph Waldo Emerson (American Essayist; May 25th, 1803 to April 27th, 1882)

“There’s no place like home.”

Howard Payne

“Perhaps there’s no place like home because no place else on earth smells quite like home.”

“A fragrant home is a simple pleasure but one rich in the resonance of reassurance. Subtly layering scents throughout the rooms in your home imparts a feeling of luxury to your living spaces.”

“In today’s world I find it not just nice but necessary to surround myself and my family with things that are familiar, warm, and reassuring.”

Barbara Milo Ohrbach (Author)

“I need to air out the house and then fill it with fresh baked cookies or bread next week while I am on PTO.”

–Ban Breathnach, Sarah. “Simple Abundance: A Daybook of Comfort and Joy”. Grand Central Publishing. (1976). Kindle Page 212 to 213 of 501.
