Happy Valentine's Day!
"I'll cover you"
-from RENT
"(Angel)
Live in my house
I'll be your shelter
Just pay me back
With one thousand kisses
Be my lover - I'll cover you
(Collins)
Open your door
I'll be your tenant
Don't got much baggage
To lay at your feet
But sweet kisses I've got to spare
I'll be there - I'll cover you
(Both)
I think they meant it
When they said you can't buy love
Now I know you can rent it
A new lease you are, my love,
On life - be my life
...
I've longed to discover
Something as true as this is
(Collins) (Angel)
So with a thousand
sweet kisses If you're cold
I'll cover you And you're lonely
With a thousand
sweet kisses
I'll cover you You've got one nickel only
With a thousand sweet kisses
I'll cover you
When you're worn
out and tired With a thousand sweet kisses
I'll cover you
When your heart has
expired..."
I think the best thing about RENT, is that the heart in the music is both about romantic love and commmunity love. The other great thing is that it doesn't kid around about happy endings.
On that note, sending my love out to all of you on V-day!

Sending love from cold and snowy Toronto (well, cold and snowy for Toronto.... it's not actually that bad for those of us who are used to a real Canadian winter!)
