Today was a day just like any other

If you are like me the arts have a profound impact on your daily life. When I watch a movie, see a play, hear a song, ect. something touches me, hits me in a new light, or shows me something that I never would have realized on my own. I love the feeling of realizing something new. Something so obvious and blatant that you seriously cannot believe that you missed it in the first place.

I watched the movie Enchanted today for the second time, and I am absolutely IN LOVE with that movie! It addresses the topic of love in a way that really tugged on my tight heart strings. First of all I am a total fairy tale girl. I love romantic fantasy and the thought of finding my prince charming makes me go weak at the knees. I want the true, movie, fairy tale romance. :)

I loved the way the movie touched on bits and pieces from all of my favorite fairy tales, and revamped them into a new story. The idea of true love is such an amazing concept to me. At first Giselle is this positive, happy-go-lucky, and essentially naive girl. She literally falls into the arms of her "true love," but soon realizes that TRUE TRUE love hits you when you least expect it.

You can't go looking for love, or all you'll find is an imitation. Something to appease your desires until you are ready to accept the real thing. Sometimes the circumstances may not even allow you to be with that one person, but the movie illustrates the point that if you do your part, and make a leap of faith at the right moment it will all work out and you will finally get your happily ever after. Even if the happy ever after you get isn't the one you imagined since infancy.


Giselle:
How does she know you love her?
How does she know she's yours?

Man:
How does she know that you love her?

Giselle:
How do you show her you love her?

Both:
How does she know that you really, really, truely love her?
How does she know that you love her?
How do you show her you love her?
How does she know that you really, really, truely love her?

Giselle:
It's not enough to take the one you love for granted
You must remind her, or she'll be inclined to say...
"How do I know he loves me?"
(How does she know that you love her?
How do you show her you love her?)
"How do I know he's mine?"
(How does she know that you really, really, truely love her?)

Well does he leave a little note to tell you you are on his mind?
Send you yellow flowers when the sky is grey? Heyy!
He'll find a new way to show you, a little bit everyday
That's how you know, that's how you know!
He's your love...

Man:
You've got to show her you need her
Don't treat her like a mind reader
Each day do something to need her
To believe you love her

Giselle:
Everybody wants to live happily ever after
Everybody wants to know their true love is true...
How do you know he loves you?
(How does she know that you love her?
How do you show her you need her?)
How do you know he's yours?
(How does she know that you really, really, truely-)

Well does he take you out dancin' just so he can hold you close?
Dedicate a song with words in
Just for you? Ohhh!

All:
He'll find his own way to tell you
With the little things he'll do
That's how you know
That's how you know!

Giselle:
He's your love
He's your love...

That's how you know
He loves you
That's how you know
It's true

Because he'll wear your favorite color
Just so he can match your eyes
Rent a private picnic
By the fires glow-oohh!

All:
His heart will be yours forever
Something everyday will show
That's how you know

That's how you know!

Giselle:
He's your love...

Man:
That's how she knows that you love her
That's how you show her you love her

Giselle:
That's how you know...
That's how you know...
He's your love...
