Cloudy Days and Clear Visions - Raine Carosin
A song I wrote called I WANNA TAKE YOU FOR GRANTED, and this version was done with Jacques Buvat doing the backing of the song. I am singing. Wow, reloading these old videos and I'm so sorry to be out of action now: I've lost all my teeth and my diction is totally whacked... I have no idea how long it will take to fix it all up... Anyhow, here's the words to the song and by the way, the pics were taken by me in our courtyard quite a few years ago... I asked God to paint me some pictures in the clouds and this is what came out... Of course, I was lounging and missed some good ones, but this is what I came back with... He really is the best artist in the world, and thank Heavens He doesn't charge us with copyright (WE COULDN'T AFFORD IT )... Well, after all, we ARE a part of His Creation and His Children... and Mitzy, the beautiful friend I had living next door is also featured (I wrote the song about her and all the pets I had had and all the people I had had in my life but somehow, somewhere along the way, they went away), but she moved with her mistress and, yeah, we had some very good times... I see her now and again (very rarely) when I visit her new home...

WOULD I HESITATE
WOULD I HESITATE
NO ONE EVER CAN REPLACE YOU

WHEN YOUR BODY'S GONE
AND I'M ALL ALONE
AND ALL I HAVE
IS THIS SONG
I WANNA TAKE YOU FORGRANTED
THAT I'LL ALWAYS FIND YOU THERE
WHEN I CALL YOU, YOU WILL ANSWER
THIS I'M PRAYING LIKE A PRAYER
COS THERE IS A WAY
AND THE WAY IS LONG
AND WE MUST BE GOOD
AND WE MUST BE STRONG
SO I CAN TAKE YOU FORGRANTED
IF ONLY FOR A LITTLE WHILE
I NEED TO CAPTURE THE MOMENTS
