"I believe any dream that I want to ..... That ain't the only way of keeping hope alive And if by chance I give birth to my visions Life is so fantastic it will come as no surprise
'Cause everyday is adventures in paradise Woven well through the fabrics of time
I believe I am free, let it free me That ain't the only way of getting past the jive
And every day something magical passes Sunshine on my body, rainbows bloomin' in the sky
'Cause everyday is adventures in paradise It is real if it's only in your mind In your mind
It is real if it's only in your mind In your mind Step this way for another ADVENTURE in P A R A D I S E "

7. Two people, just meeting ,,,, |
|
Barely touching each other Two spirits greeting Trying to carry it further You are one and I am another We should be one inside each other
You can see inside me Will you come inside me? Do you wanna ride inside my love? You can see inside me Will you come inside me? Do you wanna ride inside my love?
Two strangers, not strangers only lacking the knowing So willing, feeling, infinite growing
While we're here the whole world is turning We should be one Fulfilling our yearning
You can see inside me Will you come inside me? Do you wanna ride inside my love? You can see inside me Will you come inside me? Do you wanna ride inside my love?

8. okay, i'll do a godess set, if you insist.... |

One morning the Lord, She woke up to say I feel like I wanna be creative today So by virtue of the power I've invested in me I'll make the Heaven, the Earth and the deep blue sea.
Things that swim, fly, walk by, creep and crawl…. Now I better make someone to name them all.
Yes, a human was needed in the neighborhood So the Lord made woman, and it was good.
She said the Garden of Eden's no place to be alone So from the rib of the Madame came Adam full grown. As time went by this groom and bride Followed the instructions, and they multiplied. She's hunt, he'd cook, she'd work, he'd play And while she administered the government,…… he crocheted.

14. Boy, did I feel good seeing that. Not because of ego, but as a writer, |
|
you always want to touch people in that sensitive place (hush your dirty minds right now about touching people in sensitive places, you lecherous DUers) that conjures up a feeling within them that is strong enough to elicit a response.
Thanks for noticing, in other words.
So where does the "vague accent" come from when you sing? Does it just happen?

16. no, i'm just trying to channel dietrich, really |
|
and the european accent masks the nasal new york thing a little. you can get away with whining if you sound like marlene, right? same reason i like singing country, the whine factor: so sorry, high notes.... nope.

20. So you sing country songs? Some time, after I get my |
|
Autoharp restrung, and / or get the new Dobro and learn how to play it (I am physically unable to play the guitar or banjo anymore), we'll have to get together.
It could be fun.

9. She had a great voice. Outstanding range. |
|
The only current pop diva that could possibly compare to Minnie Ripperton would be Mariah Carey.
Except Minnie Ripperton wasn't crazy!

17. Do you realize her daughter's Maya Rudolph? |
|
Maya's a hell of a comedienne; just watch the SNL bits where she's doing Donna Versace.
Now THOSE are genes...
