Happy birthday to me!\u00a0 It’s an Allelujah kind of day.\u00a0 I’m not sentimental and don’t believe in marriage but this video is awesome, the priest who marries the couple unexpectedly sings a customized wedding song for them\u00a0 —>\u00a0 Big surprise for Bride and Groom… Chris and Leah Wedding April 5, 2014<\/a>.\u00a0 As I was watching this and singing along in full voice last midnight, I heard the neighbor’s car door slam. I wonder how long he stood in the driveway across from mine listening to my Allelujahs out the window. I thought I’d be safe since he keeps the a\/c on…\u00a0 Here’s a version of the original song I love by K.D. Lang<\/a>, and one by\u00a0Espen Lind, Askil Holm, Alejandro Fuentes and Kurt Nilsen<\/a>. Here are Leonard Cohen’s lyrics to Hallelujah<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/p>\n

“Hallelujah”<\/b> by Leonard Cohen<\/p>\n

I’ve heard there was a secret chord
\nThat David played, and it pleased the Lord
\nBut you don’t really care for music, do you?
\nIt goes like this
\nThe fourth, the fifth
\nThe minor fall, the major lift
\nThe baffled king composing Hallelujah<\/p>\n

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
\nHallelujah, Hallelujah<\/p>\n

Your faith was strong but you needed proof
\nYou saw her bathing on the roof
\nHer beauty in the moonlight overthrew you
\nShe tied you to a kitchen chair
\nShe broke your throne, and she cut your hair
\nAnd from your lips she drew the Hallelujah<\/p>\n

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
\nHallelujah, Hallelujah<\/p>\n

Baby I have been here before
\nI know this room, I’ve walked this floor
\nI used to live alone before I knew you.
\nI’ve seen your flag on the marble arch
\nLove is not a victory march
\nIt’s a cold and it’s a broken Hallelujah<\/p>\n

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
\nHallelujah, Hallelujah<\/p>\n

There was a time when you let me know
\nWhat’s really going on below
\nBut now you never show it to me, do you?
\nAnd remember when I moved in you
\nThe holy dove was moving too
\nAnd every breath we drew was Hallelujah<\/p>\n

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
\nHallelujah, Hallelujah<\/p>\n

Maybe there\u2019s a God above
\nBut all I\u2019ve ever learned from love
\nWas how to shoot at someone who outdrew you
\nIt\u2019s not a cry you can hear at night
\nIt\u2019s not somebody who has seen the light
\nIt\u2019s a cold and it\u2019s a broken Hallelujah<\/p>\n

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
\nHallelujah, Hallelujah<\/p>\n

You say I took the name in vain
\nI don’t even know the name
\nBut if I did, well, really, what’s it to you?
\nThere’s a blaze of light in every word
\nIt doesn’t matter which you heard
\nThe holy or the broken Hallelujah<\/p>\n

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
\nHallelujah, Hallelujah<\/p>\n

I did my best, it wasn’t much
\nI couldn’t feel, so I tried to touch
\nI’ve told the truth, I didn’t come to fool you
\nAnd even though it all went wrong
\nI’ll stand before the Lord of Song
\nWith nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah<\/p>\n

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
\nHallelujah, Hallelujah
\nHallelujah, Hallelujah
\nHallelujah, Hallelujah
\nHallelujah, Hallelujah
\nHallelujah, Hallelujah
\nHallelujah, Hallelujah
\nHallelujah, Hallelujah
\nHallelujah<\/p>\n
