Amen to that.  Very insightful and moving.

About This Video

"Heath Ledger called me up and said, 'Ben, I'm having a baby and you need to write a lullaby for my baby girl'.
I obliged and out came Happily Ever After in Your Eyes.''

Thanks, Fran.  Especially knowing it was part of Heath's memorial service.

I tried to make out the words:




Happy Ever After in Your Eyes
by Ben Harper

The morning sunrise spread her wings
While the moon hung in the sky
Held the sea in your hands
And happy ever after in your eyes
Happy ever after is in your eyes.

Couldn't leave you to go to heaven
I carry you in my smile
For the first time my true reflection I see
Happy ever after in your eyes
Happy ever after is in your eyes.

Every star in the night
Promises the dawn
I will be there if you fall
To ever so heavily rest upon

All that I can give you
Is forever yours to keep
Wake up every day with a dream
And happy ever after in your eyes
Happy ever after is in your eyes.

Fran:
It truly is a beautiful song.  I like the lines:

I carry you in my smile

and

For the first time my true reflection I see

And of course the last verse:

All that I can give you
Is forever yours to keep
Wake up every day with a dream
And happy ever after in your eyes
Happy ever after is in your eyes.

No doubt about it, Heath loved his baby girl.

Daniel Day-Lewis talked about Heath again at back stage of BAFTA:

Absent friends

Day-Lewis - voted best actor for There Will Be Blood - remembered Heath Ledger in a backstage press conference.


He said: "Obviously, if I hadn't already had the occasion of the screen actors' guild awards to dedicate this award to Heath Ledger then Heath would certainly have been a man tonight I would liked to have recognised."

Meryl:
Thanks for that link, Betty.  I'd forgotten all about the BAFTAs being this week.  :P

Good old Daniel Day-Lewis!  He's my new hero.  :-*
