Lovers Are Welcome At the Paradise Cafe There's a place we go to, almost every night When we walk through the door everything's alright It's a haven for lovers everywhere To reach it we just climb the stair We step on our pathway to the stars Here there exists freedom from bars We dance in moons soft lit glow Maybe we sit and watch the show Because lovers are always welcome At the Paradise Cafe The owner here, she's a very classy lady Her name is Love, but we all call her Sadie She sits and plays the piano at night And around her lovers bathe in liquid light The folks here laugh and smile For they have all come from many a mile She sings of loves sweetest kiss While lovers flirt with the hint of risk But lovers are always at home At the Paradise Cafe The dance floor's a cloud of gold and white While stars sparkle adds their special light In the glow of moons silver beams Love spreads her smile, and seems To float above and around the floor The customers yell and cry out for more Of Love's dance in passions flame Which will always end just the same With lovers dancing with Love At the Paradise Cafe Marsha Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning [This message has been edited by Marsha (edited 10-21-2000).] |

Insect, thank you I'm glad you liked it ![]() Kit, but surely you've got your ticket already, I'm sure I saw your name on the guest list. I'll just double check, yes it's there with all the other angels ![]() It'll be a hot time in the Cafe tonight! If you have any trouble at the door, you won't, but if you do, tell the bouncer that you write Sadie's lyrics! ![]() ![]() James, well I'll hold a table for you then okay ![]() ![]() See you there Marsha |

So am I on the list? I would prefer to have a table right next to the dance floor if I may. What a wonderful vision this place holds in my mind. I want a life time membership as well....so am I asking for too much here? ![]() |

Dee, dear heart, haven't got wonderful words, Mmmm love I believe you. Kit may write Sadie's lyrics but you shine her soul kid. I'll save you the table by mine, you know it'll be right up the front, with the class acts. (Well I'm hoping some of the class will rub off on me) Glad you like it love, and as for love puppy, I'm sure he'll enjoy the show. You did tell him I was mostly harmless didn't you? Good! Take care love Bubbles ![]() Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

Mark my friend of course you're on the list, you're one of the class acts I was talking about. (Now who's creeping up on whom?) A table right at the front, by the dance floor, no problem. Sadie's a particular friend of mine, and she always has room for a cowboy, particularly, one of such class. If I'm there before you I'll tell the bouncers to wave you right on in.

Lil sis, you can, didn't I tell you about doing a turn at the Crimbo party, hell we'll have the party there. Mind you, the bouncers may well throw us out for rowdy behaviour, but I'll make them behave. I'll speak to you tonight, take care lil sis Marsha ![]() Oh and tell Melissa, (Baby sis) to stop pinching the angels, she be trying to get their wings off next!

Karilea, there'll always be a table reserved for you, after all where would Love be without Sunshine's gentle rays. Glad you liked it Take care Marsha ![]() [This message has been edited by Marsha (edited 10-22-2000).] |

Is there a place for me. I wanna be in the back where I can people watch to my hearts content. ![]() Oops I think I just put a stiletto through the dance floor. No problems I can fix. Can someone pass me those spare angel feathers. ![]() Keth Growth demands a temporary surrender of security. Gail Sheehy |

Kethry, are you sure you don't want to be at the front with me, because there's always room at my table for a friend. Still, you can people watch to your hearts content, and just look at those two over there. ![]() Glad you like the ambiance here, Sadie certainly knows how to flavour the setting.
