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

What makes a good music video?

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

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
