Karl

Karl is my early morning visitor. Here he is in my dining room, taken just a few minutes ago. Somehow he always manages to waddle into the house while I am taking my breakfast every single morning. He lives two doors away with his Filipina mom and some un-smiling Caucasian dad. I say un-smiling because the few times I've seen the dad (a very thin man with piercing eyes and very serious face) he looks like the saddest man on earth.. I wonder what their story is. Karl meanwhile is a very cute and chubby Gerber baby, but unfortunately, un-smiling too just like the dad. How funny that a baby could be so cute and perfect yet never smile! So I try my best each morning to make him smile, I give him bread which he crumples up and treats like a toy. I coo and I sing and I smile and yet...he never smiles! Someday maybe before I leave this place I'll make it my business to find out what's going on over there. Or maybe that's just their genes.

Summer love
They call it summer love
But oh, how it feels
And I don't believe make believe
But I was a lonely boy
And you were a lonely girl
And we're together tonight
Summer love made it right

Summer love
They called it summer love
But some how it's real
Could see by that look in your eyes
That you were a lonely girl
And I was a lonely boy
And when the evening was done
Summer love made us one

I don't believe make believe
But I was a lonely boy
And you were a lonely girl
And when the evening was done
Summer love made us one.

I was a lonely boy
And you were a lonely girl
But we're together tonight
We're together tonight
Summer love

caught a ride on the dreamland express last night, I was sailing on an ocean of blue.
When right there by my side, much to my surprise was you.
I said, come on over here baby, let my look in your eyes, let me see the very heart of you.
And I couldn't believe it, to conceive that my dream would come true.
Cause you said, hey there, sweet daddy, everything is all right.
For miles there's not a telephone line.
There's not a soul to disturb us, don't be nervous, just come and be mine.

You said, let me be the end of your rainbow, let me be the stars up above.
Let me be the one that you long for, darling, let me be the one that you love, oh,
let me be the one that you love.

And now it's four in the morning, honey, I can't sleep. I can't seem to get you out of my mind.
I keep tossing and turning, yearning for the sun to shine.
I'd like to send you a ticket on the dreamland express, and take you far away with me.
I've got a vision of heaven and you’re living there with me.

Honey, let me be the end of your rainbow, let me be the stars up above.
Let me be the one that you long for, darling, let me be the one that you love, oh,
let me be the one that you love, oh, let me be the one that you love.
