Violet Eyes


Hoy, 23 de Marzo de 2011, falleció Elizabeth Taylor.
La hermosa mujer de ojos color violeta, que supo forjar una carrera envidiable en el mundo del cine.
Justo ayer estuve a punto de ver Gigante, película donde comparte el protagónico con James Dean.
No la vi, y esta mañana me levanté con la noticia de su muerte.
Estaba siendo atendida en el hospital Cedars-Sinai Medical Senter, por síntomas de insuficiencia cardíaca congestiva, enfermedad que sufría desde 2004.

Liz, era muy amiga de Michael Jackson, y elijo hoy, despedirla humildemente con la canción que Michael le escribió.
"Elizabeth I Love You"


Welcome to Hollywood
That's what they told you
A child star in Hollywood
That's what they sold you
Grace with beauty, charm and talent
You would do what you were told
But they robbed you of childhood
Took your youth and sold it for gold

Elizabeth, I love you
You're every star that shines in the world to me
Elizabeth can't you see that it's true
Elizabeth, I love you
You're more than just a star to me

Lovely Elizabeth
You have surpassed them all
My friend Elizabeth
Learned to outlast them all
Many started back when you did
Lost their way and now they're gone
But look at you, a true survivor
Full of life and carrying on

Elizabeth, I love you
You're every star that shines in the world to me
Elizabeth can't you see that it's true
Elizabeth, I love you
You're more than just a star...

This is your life
You seem to have it all
You reached your peak
They wanted you to fall
It's very sad, this world can be so bad
But though all the heartaches
When they put you down
You know you were the victor
And you earned the crown
It's like walking through the fire
Determined to win
You were beating life's battles
Again and again

Elizabeth, I love you
You're every star that shines in the world to me
Elizabeth can't you see that it's true

Remember the time I was alone
You stood by my side and said:
"Let's be strong"
You did all these tings
That only a true friend can do

Elizabeth, I love you
The world knows your work now
Of all the things on earth now
I pray one day I'll be just like... you.
