Talking to the Moon by Bruno Mars

I know you're somewhere out there

Somewhere far away

I want you back

I want you back


My neighbors think
I'm crazy

But they don't understand

You're all I have

You're all I have



(Chorus)


At night when the stars
light up my room

I sit by myself


Talking to the Moon

Try to get to you

In hopes you're on
the other side

Talking to me too
or am I a fool

Who sits alone
talking to the moon

I'm feeling like I'm famous

The talk of the town

They say
I've gone mad

Yeah
I've gone mad

But they don't know
what I know


Cause when the
sun goes down

Someone's talking back

Yeah,
they're talking back



Chorus 



Ahh Ahh,
Ahh
Do you ever hear me calling?

Ahh Ahh,
Ahh
Cause every night
I'm talking to the moon

Still trying to get to you


In hopes you're on
the other side
talking to me too

Or am I a fool
who sits alone
talking to the moon, ohhhhh


I know you're somewhere out there

Somewhere far away

Sharpie (Hard-Boiled) Eggs


So easy, but so effective. All you need to make these fancy Easter eggs is a black Sharpie and a hard-boiled egg. You might want to review our lessons on Zentangles and line drawings for some great patterns. A hard-boiled egg should not be left at room temperature for longer than 2 hours, and goes bad after a week in the fridge. Happy Easter!

****************************************************

Here are some eggs made at home by Georgia and Nicole. Great work girls, and thanks for sharing!


I Love Rock & Roll

With vocals and lyrics



Karaoke Version



I saw him dancin' there by the record machine 
I knew he must a been about seventeen 
The beat was goin' strong 
Playin' my favorite song 
An' I could tell it wouldn't be long 
Till he was with me, yeah me 
And I could tell it wouldn't be long 
Till he was with me, yeah me, singin' 

I love rock n' roll 
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby 
I love rock n' roll 
So come and take your time and dance with me 

Ow! 

He smiled so I got up and asked for his name 
That don't matter, he said, 
'Cause it's all the same 
Said can I take you home where we can be alone 
An' next we were movin' on 
He was with me, yeah me 
Next we were movin' on 
He was with me, yeah me, singin' 
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/j/joan+jett+and+the+blackhearts/i+love+rock+n+roll_20072391.html ] 
I love rock n' roll 
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby 
I love rock n' roll 
So come an' take your time an' dance with me 

Ow! 

Said can I take you home where we can be alone 
Next we were movin' on 
He was with me, yeah me, 
An we'll be movin' on 
An' singin' that same old song 
Yeah with me, singin' 

I love rock n' roll 
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby 
I love rock n' roll 
So come an' take your time an' dance with me
