Look into my eyes, you will see
What you mean to me
Search your heart, search your soul
And when you find me there
You’ll search no more

Don’t tell me, it’s not worth tryin’ for
You can’t tell me, it’s not worth dyin’ for
You know it’s true
Everything I do, I do it for you

Look into your heart, you will find
There’s nothin’ there to hide
Take me as I am, take my life
I would give it all, I would sacrifice

Don’t tell me it’s not worth fightin’ for
I can’t help it, there’s nothin’ I want more
You know it’s true
Everything I do, I do it for you.

There’s no love, like your love
And no other could give more love
There’s nowhere, unless you’re there
All the time, all the way.

 

This beautiful photo of the three taken just before going on stage in Paris  reminded me of the Bryan Adam’s song, Everything I Do, I Do It For You.  

Look into their eyes, you’ll see their heart and soul.  You will instantly know what you mean to them.   Once you find Il Volo, you’ll search no more.  You will have no need to look further for music that touches every part of your life and beyond.  

Everything they do…they do it for you.  Such devotion to their music and to all those who follow them.  

Take them as they are...they are giving us their lives…there is nothing to hide…they have sacrificed so much to be where they are…and we want them to stay there forever.

There is nothing they want more than to sing for the world.

Everything they do…they do it for you.

There’s no love like their love.  They bestow it so freely.

There is no other place to experience this love more than being right there in the audience and watching them on stage.  

Everything they do…they do it for you.

Looking at  this photo I can just hear them saying, “Ok guys, let’s give them everything we’ve got.”

Eventually ~ Marie

I am excited to introduce you all to my new career as a song writer.   I have the words, but no tune yet,  although some melody keeps going around in my head.  I think I’ll call it something like..

🎵 Eventually 🎶

You’ll be loving me, eventually.
A great love for me, eventually.
From the start you broke my heart
your love was never shown,
but still I’m true, waiting for you, now that your grown.

You’ll be loving me, eventually.
I’ve much love for you, my dear, you’ll see.
Though you never call
remember I shall always be,
In love with you.
You’ll love me too.
E-ven-tual-ly.

You’ll be loving me, eventually.
There’s no one but you, Ingy for me,

Tho I love all three, remember I shall always be,
in love with you, you’ll love me to,
E-ven-tual-ly.

I’m the one you’ll love,  it’s really me.
Loretta knows that I’m your bride to be.

Tho the fans shall fall
remember you shall always be,
happy you’ll see,
Only with me,
E-ven-tual-leee-eee.

I have no shame.
I’ll bear your name.
E-ven-tual-ly.

What do you think of my new song, Boys?

Personally Speaking~Highway to Heaven?~by Mary Bohling

image

 

Does anyone know where this highway is?  I can’t ufind it on any map, and the GPS just laughs at me.  Do you think that vision at the end of it is a mirage?  Will it disappear as one gets closer?  Or will there be a lovely prize at the end…or is there an end?  Maybe the taunting image beckoning us just keeps pulling us farther and farther with no hope of ever reaching it.

~~~~~     ~~~~~     ~~~~~     ~~~~~     ~~~~~     

Some search at the end of the rainbow

To find a treasure of gold.

I search for the end of the highway

For treasure so dear to behold.

His eyes are a magnet that draws me

Closer and closer until

Breathless and trembling I near him

Just to watch him go over the hill.

Piero, you illusive phantom,

Forever just out of my touch,

I won’t stop my quest for that highway,

The longing for you is too much.

I guess that I’ll go on forever

Just searching and searching for you.

And maybe I will find that highway

That makes all my dreams come true.

Personally Speaking~Listen Up World~ By Mary Bohling

 LISTEN UP WORLD

 

world

 

Listen up, world, pay attention today.

There’s beautiful music coming your way…

Music you’ve been so long waiting for

Is coming to you…you’ll be asking for more.

These handsome Italians will come to impart

Their glorious voices to capture your heart.

The mission they share is to bring joy to you,

And peace and love, and brotherhood, too.

When they come to you you’ll be under their spell.

They have a story for all and they do it so well.

So listen up, world, to these wonderful guys,

Their music will thrill you, you’ll soar to the skies.

They’re coming to places all over the globe

Keep watching for them, your joy will explode.

Il Volo’s the name you need to remember,

So listen up, world, you’ll love them forever.

~~Mary~~

BOYS AND THEIR TOYS ~ Mary Bohling

BOYS AND THEIR TOYS

We all know the saying, “Boys will be boys.”
They love to have fun, and they love their toys.
Il Volo boys are no exception,
Going fast is their confection.
Ignazio loves Walter, that’s for sure,
But for real speed, his hogs the cure.

Piero says race cars are hard to resist,
But  riding his bike still tops the list.

              They might need new jackets.
