My Love
My love is so vast
That a sheet of paper
Will not be enough to write about it.
Bring the sky down,
I will cover it with the ink of love.
That a sheet of paper
Will not be enough to write about it.
Bring the sky down,
I will cover it with the ink of love.
My love is meek like a lamb,
Carrying the rustic scent of my grandmother’s cottage
Where I was born and grew up,
Portraying in innumerable guises
The fragile experience that life is.
Carrying the rustic scent of my grandmother’s cottage
Where I was born and grew up,
Portraying in innumerable guises
The fragile experience that life is.
My feelings are of high spirit and artistic
purity.
Very early, I learned the unfolding
Of the magical wings of love,
Affecting all those around me positively.
Very early, I learned the unfolding
Of the magical wings of love,
Affecting all those around me positively.
I never knew what love is
Until I fell in love.
Like the vibrant colors of Spring,
I danced, drunk with love
While the stars winked at me.
I sang merrily like a lark
While the pastoral symphonies spread around.
Until I fell in love.
Like the vibrant colors of Spring,
I danced, drunk with love
While the stars winked at me.
I sang merrily like a lark
While the pastoral symphonies spread around.
How can I write about this love
On a single sheet of paper?
Give me the vast sky,
There, I will write about my love.
On a single sheet of paper?
Give me the vast sky,
There, I will write about my love.
Love Skywriting stamp -- Jessica Hische
Art Smith, an early stunt pilot, may have been the inventor of skywriting, in which messages are created by a small airplane that emits vaporized fluid from its exhaust system to form letters in the air. He always ended his gigs by writing "Good night" in the sky. Royal Air Force captain Cyril Turner wrote the 1st ad in the sky in 1922 when he wrote "Daily Mail" above Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, England, during the running of the Derby Stakes, and he introduced the practice to the US in November. Skywriting Corporation of America president Sid Pike developed commercial skywriting in the US in 1932, and it was widely used until the 1950s. Pepsi-Cola was one of its chief sponsors, with 2,225 flights in 1940 alone. While still used occasionally for advertising slogans, skywriting today more commonly is used to make public declarations of love and marriage proposals.On 14 February 2017 (Valentine's Day) the US Postal Service introduced Love Skywriting forever stamps (forever stamps were introduced in 2007 and are always equal to the current 1st-class mail one-ounce price). The US has issued "love" stamps annually since 1973, when it cost 8 cents.
