Julie Delpy’s A WALTZ FOR A NIGHT:
Let me sing you a waltz
Out of nowhere, out of my thoughts
Let me sing you a waltz
About this one night stand
You were for me that night
Everything I always dreamt of in life
But now you’re gone
You are far gone
All the way to your island of rain
It was for you just a one night thing
But you were much more to me
Just so you know
I hear rumors about you
About all the bad things you do
But when we were together alone
You didn’t seem like a player at all
I don’t care what they say
I know what you meant for me that day
I just wanted another try
I just wanted another night
Even if it doesn’t seem quite right
You meant for me much more
Than anyone I’ve met before
One single night with you little Jesse
Is worth a thousand with anybody
I have no bitterness, my sweet
I’ll never forget this one night thing
Even tomorrow, another arms
My heart will stay yours until I die
Let me sing you a waltz
Out of nowhere, out of my blues
Let me sing you a waltz
About this lovely one night stand.
Whenever someone praises Before Sunset, I feel so happy. Haha! I feel like I own the movie or something. I’ve always been an Ethan Hawke fan (even bought one of his books) and I have to say, this one’s my favorite Ethan movie. After this comes Before Sunrise of course.
For those who didn’t like it, it’s okay. We’re a mixture of realists, idealists, etc. Skeptics even. Some say “WHAT?! That whole thing can happen in 2 hours?” Yeah, why not? I’m an optimistic realist. That’s no oxymoron. It CAN work both ways you know.
Even though I don’t have “that someone who got away,” I could relate to what Celine and Jesse were feeling. Love is a feeling anyone can relate to in any form. Unrequited, requited.
I believe in love alright. I’ve always believed in it. I’ve always believed in the magic it holds, the charm it has. I should know. I got married to H one year after I met him. Love knows no logic.
Hi! I'm Toni Tiu,
and I've been blogging at
at Wifely Steps since 2003. This started as a blog to help newly weds adjust to married life. It has evolved into a home and parenting blog. I write about things close to my heart -- good eats, good reads, family, marriage, and the little things that make everyday happy.
