'neath the pale moonlight

Somewhere
out there
Beneath the pale moonlight
Someone's
thinking of me
And loving me tonight

Somewhere
out there
Someone's saying a prayer
That we'll find one another
In that big somewhere out there

And even though
I know
how very
far apart we are
It helps to think
we might be wishing
On the same bright star

And when the night wind starts to sing
a lonesome lullaby
It helps to think we're sleeping
Underneath
the same big sky

Somewhere
out there
If love can see us through
Then we'll
be together
Somewhere out there
Out where dreams
come true

And even though
I know
how very
far apart we are
It helps to think
we might be wishing
On the same bright star

And when the night wind starts to sing
a lonesome lullaby
It helps to think
we're sleeping
Underneath
the same
big sky

Somewhere
out there
If love can see us through
Then we'll
be together
Somewhere
out there
out where dreams
come true

This beautiful song, "Somewhere Out There", was my primary motivation for venturing into the cold for the JEA.
This afternoon was billed as the "children's day" of the Jewish Film Festival, with a free screening of "An American Tail".
Apparently, the surname "Mousekewitz", in conjunction with a brief opening scene about Hanukah gifting, was enough to grant it entry in the festival line-up.

I had thought I was fairly familiar with the 1986 film.
After all, I remembered the little family had migrated to America from Russia...
and I recalled that the little boy mouse got lost from his family when he was washed overboard during a storm...
and, of course, I am quite fond of that song.
But the marauding cats?
Nope.
The song "There Are No Cats In America" and its likeness in tone to West Side Story's "America", in which the singers dream of a better life in a new location?
Sorry, didn't recall it.
Dom DeLuise's "Tiger", an overgrown kitty channeling his inner "Cowardly Lion"?
Madeline Kahn's sweetly lisping city mouse?
Christopher Plummer as "Henri", a carrier pigeon with a French accent?
That would be "no", "no", and "no".
I guess I didn't really know the movie after all.

i thank You, God, for leading me there.

Now, I'm going to watch some more ice skating on the telly.
