The Daily Boost (published weekdays) is one of the newsletters of The Raft, the online community of author Phyllis Cole-Dai. We Rafters ride the river of life buoyed by music, poetry, and other arts, plus water-drops of wisdom. Most everything here is free, but patrons (paid subscribers) get some special perks as a gesture of gratitude.
Let this mass choir of 7,000 people remind you: “Love is in the air” . . . for all of us.
You help put it there.
Care to sing along?
LOVE IS IN THE AIR John Paul Young & Johannes H. Vandenberg Refrain: Love is in the air Everywhere I look around Love is in the air Every sight and every sound And I don't know if I'm being foolish Don't know if I'm being wise But it's something that I must believe in And it's there when I look in your eyes Love is in the air In the whisper of the trees Love is in the air In the thunder of the sea And I don't know if I'm just dreaming Don't know if I feel sane But it's something that I must believe in And it's there when I call out your name All is calm and all is bright Love is in the air Love is in the air Oh oh oh Love is in the air In the rising of the sun Love is in the air When the day is nearly done And I don't know if you're an illusion Don't know if I see it true But you're something that I must believe in And you're there when I reach out for you . . . Refrain
