Background Info
Written by Michael Sembello, MJ originally recorded this song for his 1982 album, Thriller, but failed to make the final track listing when "Human Nature" was chosen instead.

It's also known as 'Circus Girl'.

It was unreleased until October 2001, when an edited version was added to the expanded, special edition of the Thriller album as one of the three bonus tracks.

Full version by Michael can be found on the Italian Edition of the "King Of pop - Best Of Album" released in october 2008.

The Lyrics
She's from a world
Of popcorn and candy
Pony rides for a dime
Little children laughing

I'm from a world
Of disapointments and confusions
But I want her to be mine
I started talking
She kept on walking
She disappeared into the crowd

I lost my heart
On the carousel
To a circus girl
Who left my heart in pieces
Lost my heart
On The carousel
To a circus girl
Who ran away.

I was the clown
And she was the dancer
We both knew it wouldn't work
But we took our chances
What I can't recall
Is if there was a girl at all
Or was it my imagination?
I still remember
All of those faces
And now all I have is memories.

I lost my heart
On the carousel
To a circus girl
Who left my heart in pieces
Lost my heart
On The carousel
To a circus girl
Who ran away.

Two different people
In love for an instant
To see that the circus came today
Sometimes I can hear her crying here
And I can hear her calling me.

Don't you know?
I lost my heart
On the carousel
To a circus girl
Who left my heart in pieces
Lost my heart
On The carousel
To a circus girl
Who ran away

Tomorrow was here and the boys got up. The boys went to the kitchen to eat."We're going to school again!" Michael said excited. The four others groaned."Why do you like school so much?" Marlon asked."I just like to be with my favorite lady teachers!" Michael said. They ate and then got dressed. The five got their bookbags and headed off to school. When the five boys got out of school, they went straight home to rehearse.Joesph already had the equipment set up for the boys. The boys came home and dropped their books to the floor.The boys went to their spots and were ready to start rehearsal.Joesph...

When Janelle looked at the clock, she saw that 30 minutes had passed. She looked at Coraline and giggled at how she would be playing with her dress.
"Coraline, you ready to go to dinner?" She asked.
Coraline looked at her with a big smile on her face. "Yes I am, mommy." She replied.
Janelle smiled and got up off the bed and headed out the door with Coraline. They went up to Michael's door and knocked.
"Just one minute, please?" He called out.
After about a minute of waiting, the door opened and Michael's jaw dropped a bit at the sight of Janelle and Coraline.
"Oh my God...you two look beautiful."...

I’ll Be There - Lyrics

You and I must make a pact
We must bring salvation back
Where there is love
I’ll be there
I’ll reach out my hand to you
I’ll have faith in all you do
Just call my name and I’ll be there

I’ll be there to comfort you
Build my world of dreams around you
I’m so glad that I found you
I’ll be there with a love that’s strong
I’ll be your strength
I’ll keep holding on
Holding on, holdin On
Yes I will, yes I will

Let me fill your heart with joy and laughter
Togetherness, girl, is all I’m after
Whenever you need me

I’ll be there to protect you, yeah baby

trial provides portrait of Michael Jackson as a father. MSN news (very sweet)

posted by MJ_4life

As a jury hears a civil case brought by Michael Jackson's mother, information about the superstar's role as father to his children is becoming public.

Courtrooms have supplied the epilogue to Michael Jackson's life. They've provided the forum where his debts have been settled, his final days dissected and his life depicted as a cautionary tale.

In nearly four years of court proceedings, two juries have watched Jackson come to life on video screens. They've watched him spin, dance and then disappear. They've heard his voice, seen his handwriting and viewed photos of his lifeless body.

Jackson back in spotlight as civil trial begins

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Michael Jackson's words and music rang through a courtroom once again — this time at the start of a wrongful death trial — as a lawyer tried to show jurors the pop star's loving relationship with his mother and children.

Jackson's praise for his mother brought tears to her eyes, a tender moment on Monday, when her superstar son was repeatedly called an addict by lawyers on both sides of her lawsuit against concert giant AEG Live.

Jurors listening to opening statements were given a brief tour of Jackson's life through photos of him with his children and videos of his performances....

Girl, Close Your Eyes
Let That Rhythm Get Into You

Relax Your Mind
Lay Back And Groove With Mine
You Got To Feel That Heat
And We Can Ride The Boogie

There's A Magic That Must Be Love

When Will The Emotional Wounds Heal

Subsequent to reading the link in regards to the Jackson family want to sue AEG Live for hiring Dr. Conrad Murray to look after Michael Jackson; in addition, to help him get get for the ill-fated "This Is It" concert tour in London, it just breaks my heart seeing how this situation is causing more problems for the them. Yes, Dr Murray was found guilty due to his negligence, nor did he use good judgement,either, but to file a lawsuit against AEG, it's like adding in a open wound.

From what I read pertaining to the lawsuit, the children and their paternal grandmother, Katherine Jackson, want at...

While Michael was in the studio working on his song, Maris woke up and turned to find that Michael wasn't in the bed with her, so she got up and stretched out her arms and yawned for a good five minutes; in addition, to putting on her robe. After that long nap she took, Maris was very well rested, so went downstairs to find Michael, so she heard the music coming from the recording studio to find Michael at the piano working on the song he was writing for her. As she entered the studio she gave Michael a big warm hug, and kissed him on the cheek. "Did you enjoy your nap, sweetie, " Michael asked,...

Two weeks after his breakup with longtime girlfriend, Charisse, Michael vowed he would never fall again, until he got a call from his best friend, Royce, stating that he had set him up on a blind date. "Hey, Mike, what's up, I know it's been two weeks since Charisse dumped you, but it's time to move on, so I've set you up on a blind date. Her name is Peggy, and she happens to a good friend of mine". "All that is good and well, but I'm not interested in starting a new relationship right now, but thanks anyway," Michael replied, "come on, man, you need to move on with you life and get back into the swing of things," Royce replied.

"I know, I know, but it's not that easy getting over her even though she left me for her married lover, and it still hurts when I think about it", Michael replied.

The red one represents me

Dear Michael, our dearest Michael, I'm sorry for the way I am. I'm sorry for being so negative. I don't try to be this was, to be frank. I'm doing this because I mean it. I really mean it. I hope you're not disappointed or displeased of me. Believe me, I really don't try to be mean. It's either because of my Asperger syndrome I have (which I consider an illness even though it's not) or that the devil is trying to take over my me. But deep in my soul and heart I'm NOT evil or cold hearted and I don't want anybody especially you thinking that I am cause that's not right. It's just that the fact...
