Lyrics to "With You" from Pippin
 
My days are brighter than morning air
Evergreen pine and autumn blue
But all my days are twice as fair
If I could share
My days with you

My nights are warmer than firecoals
Incense and stars and smoke bamboo
But nights were warm beyond compare
If I could share
My nights with you

To dance in my dreams
To shine when I need the sun
With you
To hold me when dreams are done

And oh....
My dearest love
If you will take my love
Then all my dreams are truly begun

And time weaves ribbons of memory
To sweeten life when youth is through
But I would need no memories there
If I could share
My life with you

lyrics to "not a pretty girl" by ani difranco
i am not a pretty girl
                           that is not what i do
                           i ain't no damsel in distress
                           and i don't need to be rescued
                           so put me down punk
                           maybe you'd prefer a maiden fair
                           isn't there a kitten stuck up a tree somewhere
                           
                           i am not an angry girl
                           but it seems like i've got everyone fooled
                           every time i say something they find hard to hear
                           they chalk it up to my anger
                           and never to their own fear
                           and imagine you're a girl
                           just trying to finally come clean
                           knowing full well they'd prefer you
                           were dirty and smiling
                           
                           and i am sorry
                           i am not a maiden fair
                           and i am not a kitten stuck up a tree somewhere
                           
                           and generally my generation
                           wouldn't be caught dead working for the man
                           and generally i agree with them
                           trouble is you gotta have yourself an alternate plan
                           and i have earned my disillusionment
                           i have been working all of my life
                           and i am a patriot
                           i have been fighting the good fight
                           and what if there are no damsels in distress
                           what if i knew that and i called your bluff?
                           don't you think every kitten figures out how to get down
                           whether or not you ever show up
                           
                           i am not a pretty girl
                           i don't want to be a pretty girl
                           no i want to be more than a pretty girl

"Look, Coach...my dad's goin' through a rough time right now.  He's got nothing.  He lost his job, and with Atlanta tryin' to sign me...bottom line is, my mom wanted this.  Me playin' on this team.  Hard to say no to someone who drove you to practice every day, right?"
~~Eddie Cahill, as Jim Craig, in Miracle (greatest movie ever made)

"Today is where your book begins.  The rest is still unwritten." ~~Natasha Bedingfield
