Do you know any, or will you have to compose one?

Re: Play the Round

[sticksofthejedi]

I don't know any. I'm trying to think of something, but if you're up to it, you'd probably come up with something more quickly.

Re: Play the Round

[shipwithwings]

I know some I have read the lyrics to.

Re: Play the Round

[sticksofthejedi]

If you think we can get away with that, we might as well. It's certainly more efficient than me.

Re: Play the Round

This is one by an American, Francis Hopkinson. You might replace the name with that of the one you are singing to.

Enraptured I Gaze, when my Delia is by,
And drink the sweet poison of love from her eye;
I feel the soft passion pervade ev'ry part,
And pleasures unusual play round my fond heart.

I hear her sweet voice, and am charm'd with her song,
I think I could hear her sweet voice all day long;
My senses enchanted are lost in delight
When love and soft music their rapture unite.

Beyond all expression my Delia I love;
My heart is so fix'd that it never can rove;
When I see her I think 'tis an angel I see,
And the charms of her mind are a heav'n to me.

...Got it. Thanks, Obsidian. Sounds like it's too bad I don't have that kilt for a performance.

Re: Play the Round

[shipwithwings]

That is a pity.

Re: Play the Round

[sticksofthejedi]

I could repeat it later for you, but I doubt I'm good enough at singing that you'd want me to.

Re: Play the Round

[shipwithwings]

Well, we shall find out how good you are at it in a moment, won't we?

Re: Play the Round

[sticksofthejedi]

How was that?

Re: Play the Round

[shipwithwings]

Oh, tolerable, I suppose.

[scritch]

And I haven't even had any lessons.

Re: Play the Round

[fallinflames]

Wow...

Re: Play the Round

[shipwithwings]

I tried to choose a short one.

Re: Play the Round

[fallinflames]

It's still lovely.

Re: Play the Round

[shipwithwings]

[sorry one sec, rustling his wings at Jaina singing to you. DRAGON IS AMUSED.]

[HANDS ON YOUR SHOULDERS AND GAZING INTO YOUR EYES, BUDDY]

Enraptured I gaze, when my Spitfire is by,
And drink the sweet poison of love from his eye;
I feel the soft passion pervade every part,
And pleasures unusual play round my fond heart.

I hear his sweet voice, and am charmed with his song,
I think I could hear his sweet voice all day long;
My senses enchanted are lost in delight
When love and soft music their rapture unite.

Beyond all expression my Spitfire I love;
My heart is so fixed that it never can rove;
When I see her I think 'tis an angel I see,
And the charms of his mind are a heaven to me.

[yeeeeeah not keeping a straight face, and there's definitely laughter in her voice as she makes her singing attempt]

Re: Play the Round

[fallinflames]

[laughing so hard]

M-my ears.

Re: Play the Round

[sticksofthejedi]

[taking a hand and bowing to it if she can]

I think you mean your heart.

Re: Play the Round

[fallinflames]

That too. I am hahaha deeply moved.

Re: Play the Round

[sticksofthejedi]

[snort]

You should be, Obsidian worked very hard on that.

Re: Play the Round

[fallinflames]

And sang it quite beautifully.

Re: Play the Round

[sticksofthejedi]

And I didn't?

Re: Play the Round

[fallinflames]

Well...
