Just Jot It January - 2019 - Song Lyric Sunday

Today's prompt from Mary by way of Jim, covering for Helen in the Song Lyric Sunday experience is Crying/sadness.

Decided to go with this from Prince.  I know there was a lot of crying and sadness when he passed.

When Doves Cry

Prince, The Revolution

Dig if you will the picture
Of you and I engaged in a kiss
The sweat of your body covers me
Can you my darling
Can you picture this?

Dream, if you can, a courtyard
An ocean of violets in bloom
Animals strike curious poses
They feel the heat
The heat between me and you

How can you just leave me standing?
Alone in a world that's so cold (so cold)
Maybe I'm just too demanding
Maybe I'm just like my father, too bold
Maybe you're just like my mother
She's never satisfied (she's never satisfied)
Why do we scream at each other?
This is what it sounds like 
When doves cry

Touch if you will my stomach
Feel how it trembles inside
You've got the butterflies all tied up
Don't make me chase you
Even doves have pride

How could you just leave me standing?
Alone in a world so cold? (world so cold)
Maybe I'm just too demanding
Maybe I'm just like my father, too bold
Maybe you're just like my mother
She's never satisfied (she's never satisfied)
Why do we scream at each other?
This is what it sounds like 
When doves cry

How can you just leave me standing?
Alone in a world that's so cold? (a world that's so cold)
Maybe I'm just too demanding (maybe, maybe I'm like my father)
Maybe I'm just like my father too bold (you know he's too bold)
Maybe you're just like my mother (maybe you're just like my mother)
She's never satisfied (she's never, never satisfied)
Why do we scream at each other? (why do we scream, why)
This is what it sounds like 
When doves cry
When doves cry (doves cry, doves cry)
When doves cry (doves cry, doves cry)

Don't cry (don't cry)

Songwriters: Prince Rogers Nelson

I've mentioned that we were able to see Prince once and it was a serendipitous event because I just happened to see that he was coming to a venue near us and was able to grab some tickets even though it was only two or three days away.  I've heard that sometimes he did things that way, not announcing where he was going to be performing until the last minute.  At any rate, now that he is gone, I am really glad we went. 

They told us as we went into the show that ABSOLUTELY NO PICTURES were going to be allowed but I managed to sneak a few.  Yes, this is the only time I am known to be "breaking the law," when I sneak pictures.  I am not obnoxious about it and truthfully some of the pictures aren't even that good but there are a few that I consider special:

And a couple of the scrapbook pages I made about it:

 


Loved the movie Purple Rain.  I watched it while I was at home recuperating from jaw surgery.  Here's the video:

Glad that I managed to combine both prompts today. Love when it is serendipitous that way!  Serendipitous is the word suggested by Jill to Linda for #JusJoJan.   


Happy Sunday folks!
