Shannon’s Top 150 Favorite Disney Songs

All those days watching from the windows
All those years outside looking in
All that time never even knowing
Just how blind I’ve been
Now I’m here, blinking in starlight
Now I’m here, suddenly I see
Standing here, it’s all so clear
I’m where I’m meant to be

And at last I see the light
And it’s like the fog has lifted
And at last I see the light
And it’s like the sky is new
And it’s warm and real and bright
And the world has somehow shifted
All at once everything looks different
Now that I see you

All those days chasing down a daydream
All those years living in a blur
All that time never truly seeing
Things, the way they were
Now she’s here shining in the starlight 
Now she’s here, suddenly I know
If she’s here it’s crystal clear
I’m where I’m meant to go

And at last I see the light
And it’s like the fog is lifted
And at last I see the light
And it’s like the sky is new
And it’s warm and real and bright
And the world has somehow shifted
All at once, everything is different
Now that I see you, now that I see you

You want to go outside? Why, Rapunzel…
Look at you, as fragile as a flower
Still a little sapling, just a sprout
You know why we stay up in this tower
(I know but…)
That’s right — to keep you safe and sound, dear

Guess I always knew this day was coming
Knew that soon you’d want to leave the nest
Soon, but not yet (But…)
Shh! Trust me, pet. Mother knows best

Mother knows best. Listen to your mother
It’s a scary world out there
Mother knows best. One way or another
Something will go wrong I swear! 

Ruffians! Thugs! Poison ivy! Quick sand!
Cannibals and snakes! The plague!
(No!) Yes!
Also large bugs! Men with pointy teeth
And…stop! No more! You’ll just upset me

Mother’s right here. Mother will protect you
Darling, here’s what I suggest:
Skip the drama. Stay with mama.
Mother knows best

Go ahead, get trampled by a rhino
Go ahead, get mugged and left for dead
Me, I’m just your mother, what do I know?
I only bathed and changed and nursed you

Go ahead and leave me; I deserve it
Let me die alone here. Be my guest
When it’s too late, you’ll see — just wait
Mother knows best

Mother knows best — take it from your mums
On your own, you won’t survive
Sloppy, underdress, immature, clumsy — Please!
They’ll eat you up alive!

Gullible, naiive, positively grubby,
Ditzy and a bit, hmm, well, vague
Plus, I believe, getting kind of chubby
I’m just saying ‘cause I love you

Mother understands. Mother’s hear to help you
All I have is one request — Rapunzel?
(Yes?) 
Don’t ever ask to leave this tower again
(Yes, mother)
Oh, I love you very much, dear.
(I love you more)
I love you most

Don’t forget it — You’ll regret it
Mother knows best.

(Gif set by livinglifefromdreamtodream)

Seven a.m., the usual morning line-up
Start on the chores, and sweep ‘til the floor’s all clean
Polish and wax, do laundry and mop and shine up
Sweep again
And by then
It’s, like, seven-fifteen

And so I’ll read a book
Or maybe two or three
I’ll add a few new paintings
To my gallery
I’ll play guitar and knit and cook
And basically
Just wonder, when will my life begin

Then, after lunch, it’s puzzles, and darts,and baking…
Paper-mache, a bit of ballet, and chess….
Pottery and ventriloquy, candle-making…
Then I’ll stretch
Maybe sketch
Take a climb
Sew a dress

And I’ll re-read the books
If I have time to spare
I’ll paint the wall some more
I’m sure there’s room somewhere
And then I’ll brush, and brush
And brush, and brush my hair
Stuck in the same place I’ve always been
And I’ll keep wond’ring
And wond’ring
And wond’ring
And wond’ring
When will my life begin

Tomorrow night…
The lights will appear
Just like they do on my birthday each year
What is it like
Out there where they glow
Now that I’m older
Mother might just let me go…

I’m malicious, mean and scary
My sneer could curdle dairy
And violence-wise my hands are not the cleanest
But despite my evil look and my temper and my hook
I’ve always yearned to be a concert pianist

Can’t you see me on the stage performing Mozart
Tickling the ivories till they gleam
Yep, I’d rather be called deadly for my killer show-tune medley
Cuz way down deep inside I’ve got a dream

He’s got a dream
He’s got a dream
See, I ain’t as cruel and vicious as I seem
Though I do like breaking femurs, you can count me with the dreamers
Like everybody else, I’ve got a dream

I’ve got scars and lumps and bruises
Plus something here that oozes
And let’s not even mention my complexion
But despite my extra toes
And my goiter
And my nose
I really want to make a love connection

Can’t you see me with a special little lady
Rowing in a rowboat down a stream
Though I’m one disgusting blighter
I’m a lover, not a fighter
Cuz way down deep inside I’ve got a dream

I’ve got a dream
He’s got a dream
I’ve got a dream
He’s got a dream
And I know one day romance will reign supreme
Though my face leaves people screaming
There’s a child behind it dreaming
Like everybody else, I’ve got a dream

Toll would like to quit and be a florist
Gunter does interior design
Urf is into mime
Attila’s cupcakes are sublime
Bruiser knits
Killer sews
Ven does little puppet shows
And Vladimir collects ceramic unicorns

I have dreams like you, no really
Just much less touchy-feely
They mainly happen somewhere warm and sunny
On an island that I own
Tan and rested and alone
Surrounded by enormous piles of money

I’ve got a dream
She’s got a dream
I’ve got a dream
She’s got a dream
I just want to see the floating lanterns gleam
And with every passing hour
I’m so glad I left my tower
Like all you lovely folks, I’ve got a dream

She’s got a dream
She’s got a dream
They got a dream
We’ve got a dream
So our differences ain’t really that extreme
We’re one big team

Call us brutal
Sick
Sadistic
And grotesquely optimistic
Cuz way down deep inside we’ve got a dream
I’ve got a dream
I’ve got a dream
I’ve got a dream
I’ve got a dream
I’ve got a dream
I’ve got a dream
Yes, way down deep inside, I’ve got a dream

Rapunzel…you were my new dream.

And you were mine.

manthehatches:

You see this

At first you’re like

You meet the hero for the first time

And fangirl it out

You’re having a good time, there are fun songs happening…

Then something terribly tragic happens (like Mufasa/Bambi’s mom dies), and you turn into:

But yay!…
