Estoy perdida por alguien...I'm totally, completely, and irreversibly crazy about someone. And even though I feel about a million different things towards him, I find it hard to organize my thoughts into anything remotely coherent. So, in time like these, I defer to those greater than myself....in this case, the musical genius of Rogers and Hammerstein. If this post makes you want to puke, I'm truly sorry. My only encouragement to you is to just keep trusting in the Lord until the day that you meet a wonderful guy (or girl). Believe me, you'll quickly change your tune. :) Now, without further ado...
I expect everyone in my crown to make fun of my proud protestations of faith in romance.
And you'll say I'm naive as a babe to believe any fable I hear from a person in pants.
I've been known to share your satirical attitude, thinking that love should be kept in its place.
Until all of the sudden that lyrical platitude bounced up and hit me smack in the face.
That's how I turned out to be the happy young woman you see. :)
I'm as corny as Kansas in August. I'm as normal as blueberry pie. No more a smart little girl with no heart, I have found me a wonderful guy! I am in a conventional tither with a conventional star in my eye. And you will note there's a lump in my throat when I speak of that wonderful guy.
I'm as bright and as happy as a daisy in May, a cliche coming true. I'm bromidic and bright as the moon-sparkled night pouring light on the dew.
I'm as corny as Kansas in August. High as a flag on the fourth of July. If you'll excuse an expression I use:
I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love with a wonderful guy!!!

I saw her yesterday
And I never felt a feeling like the one I felt today
And now she's taking over me
I've never met anyone like you
Cause I never could find the words to write you
She's been on my mind (she's working overtime)
She's got perfect reasons
Says she loves to talk to Jesus
I think I'll believe her when she says
Life can be so simple if we'd all just learn to pray
She's got every little thing I wanted
And it still feels just like the day it started
I'll say goodbye to the broken-hearted
And I could never express the way I felt before tonight
She sits there all alone
She's reading from a chapter that she sometimes calls her own
And now she's taken over me
This girl I once rejected
Has now become the girl of my dreams
She's got every little thing I wanted
And it still feels just like the day it started
I'll say goodbye to the broken-hearted
And I could never express the way I felt before tonight
She's not an ordinary girl
I see it in her eyes
I'm just an ordinary boy
God must have heard my prayers last night
Truer words have never been spoken Beautiful!

Great song - even better with the original lyrics!
"I expect every one of my crowd to make fun of my proud protestations of faith in romance,
And they'll say I'm naïve as a babe to believe any fable I hear from a person in pants.
Fearlessly, I'll face them and argue their doubts away.
Loudly, I'll sing about flowers and spring.
Flatly, I'll stand on my little flat feet and say:
Love is a grand and a beautiful thing.
I'm not ashamed to reveal the world-famous feeling I feel!"

I never even realized that I was singing the wrong lyrics until my friend Rebekah sang this song for me one day. I was complete confused. I had learned the song from an old "Rogers and Hammerstein" book that we had growing up. I actually like the lyrics I learned better :). But maybe it's just because that's how I'm used to singing it.
I actually married the "wonderful guy" I was writing about in this blog post. I performed the song for him just last week. :) He's still wonderful.
