Bright Eyes

Alcide Anthony Marchesich
September 30, 1952 - February 23, 2001




Cid's favorite song (the one they didn't play at his funeral).

My Ode to Cid

Oh my Darling
You took my heart and flew away
over that coulee and into the sky.
We soar and swoop and laugh at the wind
Your eyes, your eyes - I fall into them.

And in my dreams I laugh with you
And I feel your fingers in my hair.
Your lips are soft and they taste so sweet
Your arms around me make me complete.

You tell me once more, don't be afraid
You are just a breath away.
You dance on a sunbeam and sing with the moon
Your love, it surrounds me, I'm in a cocoon.

The journey without you is long and it's hard
But someday, I know, the struggle will end.
We'll laugh, we'll sing, we'll be together again
Bright eyes, bright eyes - I'll fall into them.

He is not at all how I pictured him to be, but he is certainly a very handsome man and what a wonderful smile he has and such kind eyes. The song is very lovely and I am glad that you know at least that this was his favorite song. I'm glad I have a face to put with the name now.

BT said...

He looks so gorgeous aims. Beautiful song too. I feel for you.

Years ago an old girl friend, the only one i was on speaking terms with, committed suicide after falling out with her boy friend. At her funeral they played Elton Johns "Candle in the wind" not a dry eye in the place.
I have an award for you at my place in recognition of the pleasure (and pain) your writing has given me.

Lane Mathias said...

What a lovely looking man he was, just as kind and warm looking as I'd imagined him. And so young.
I'm glad you put his song here.

Living the Dream said...

He was even more good looking than I imagined. It seems as though all the goodness inside of him is bursting out all over his face with that wonderful smile and such beautiful eyes. God bless you always Cid, I wish I could have known you. Take care aims

Stinking Billy said...

aims, baby, is that not the same song as "Bright Eyes, burning like fire," etc.?

Mima said...

He has the most wonderful smile, and he has lived on in your memories, and now, through your writing, in all of ours as well. It is great to know what he looks like, have a face to put to the story. (Story is the wrong word, but I can't come up with the right word - sorry).

Maggie May said...

He looked such a lovely man. Such a waste, isn't it when they die young.
Lovely tribute.

John-Michael said...

What an absolutely beautiful Man! I like him ... a lot!

I love you (Ya know)

Handsome man. He looks like such a gentle soul in these pictures. I really like the words to that song.

Cath said...

What a handsome man. Beautiful smile. Wonderful tribute.

Unknown said...

Nice to have a face to go with the story. I'm sorry for all the pain.

Millennium Housewife said...

He looks beautiful, what kind eyes, I'm sorry you didn't have that song at the funeral it will play in your heart for him forever MH

A Mother's Place is in the Wrong said...

I agree, it's wonderful to put a face, with such a fabulous smile, to the name. Beautifully expressed, aims, and a fitting tribute to a wonderful soul. M xx
