Galileo fell in love as a Galilean boy,
And he wondered what in heaven who invented such a joy,
But the question got the better of his scientific mind
And to his blind and dying days
He looked up high and often sighed,
And sometimes cried
Who puts the rainbow in the sky?
Who lights the stars at night?
Who dreamt up someone so divine?
Someone like you made them mine
Love can make you ask some funny questions now and then
But just remember the alternatives for I remember when
I was lonely and unhappy
And my lips were cold as ice
But you kissed me, and good heavens,
Now I’m here in paradise
So if ever I’m not kissing you or looking in your eyes
I won’t be blind, and I won’t cry
I’ll look up high and gladly sigh
And thank the guy
Who puts the rainbow in the sky?
Who lights the stars at night?
Who dreamt up someone so divine?
Someone like you made them mine

There was a gift exchange activity at my company's annual dinner last December and I got one of my wishes fulfilled - Josh Groban's latest album: Illuminations (Thanks Alvin!). I fell in love with this song after listening to it for the 3rd time. It's a tale of a love song through the eyes of a scientist, one who prides himself in finding and knowing all the answers in life, but has then met his match when he fails to find the answers surrounding the joy of love.
"Love can make you ask some funny questions now and then"
Enjoy! And don't worry about finding the answers!
