Eric's Beijing Diary

Valentine's Day. Today, Melissa and her friend made a little extra money. A lady had called her school asking if any of the music folks wanted a lunch time job. Melissa and her friend took the offer. They went to the lady's office, picked up two roses, drove to the school where the lady's husband teaches, tracked him down in his classroom, and, standing there holding their roses, they belted out a love song. Twenty bucks. Ten each. Don't think I would have done it for that.

There were bells on a hill
But I never heard them ringing
No, I never heard them at all
Till there was you

There were birds in the sky
But I never saw them winging
No, I never saw them at all
Till there was you

Then there was music and wonderful roses
they tell me in in sweet fragrant meadows
of dawn and dew

There was love all around
But I never heard it singing
No I never heard it at all
Till there was you

Then there was music and wonderful roses
they tell me in sweet fragrant meadows
of dawn and dew

There was love all around
But I never heard it singing
No I never heard it at all
Till there was you
Till there was you
