I let it fall, my heart and as it fell, you rose to claim it It was dark and I was over Until you kissed my lips and you saved me
My hands, they’re strong But my knees were far too weak To stand in your arms Without falling to your feet But there’s a side to you that I never knew, never knew All the things you’d say, they were never true, never true And the games you play, you would always win, always win
But I set fire to the rain Watched it pour as I touched your face Let it burn while I cry ‘Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name
When laying with you I could stay there, close my eyes Feel you here, forever You and me together, nothing is better
‘Cause there’s a side to you that I never knew, never knew All the things you’d say, they were never true, never true And the games you’d play, you would always win, always win
But I set fire to the rain Watched it pour as I touched your face Let it burn while I cried ‘Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name
I set fire to the rain And I threw us into the flames Where I felt somethin’ die, ’cause I knew that That was the last time, the last time
I set fire to the rain Watched it pour as I touched your face Let it burn while I cried ‘Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name
I set fire to the rain And I threw us into the flames Where I felt something’ die ‘Cause I knew that that was the last time, the last time, oh
Oh, no
Let it burn, oh
Let it burn
Let it burn
Christmas is almost here and I can’t think of a more appropriate time to thank all of you who support and visit Belle Vivir, even when you stop by quietly without letting me know who you are. Without you dear readers I wouldn’t be here so, for that thank you. I wish you the best Christmas and I hope that wherever you are, you feel the peace and love of this special time of year. Please find below a few images of our home. This year we kept things simpler than usual. We did not put a Christmas tree, instead I created small vignettes around the house.
While looking for images through my files for my earlier post I remembered this house that was designed by the glamorous Miles Redd. This house was featured in last year’s December issue of Elle Decor and I love that its holiday decor is grand and festive yet easy to execute.
I wish you a very exited and beautiful Christmas. I’m taking a few days off starting from today and will be back next week. Looking forward to continue inspiring those who keep coming back. Until then, MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
