genius loves company...

ray... the story of ray charles robinson...
a biopic that told his life of overcoming his disability and drug addiction...
it wasn't particularly moving... but jamie foxx's performance was definitely worth the award...
not that i am familiar with ray charles... but when i think of ray charles i think of the character that i saw in the movie...
the mannerisms... the showmanship...
but i think the best part of the movie was the MUSIC.. of course it is all about the music..
and my fav song...

You Don't Know Me
(Ray Charles)

You give your hand to me
Then you say hello
I can hardly speak
My heart is beating so
And anyone can tell
You think you know me well
But you don't know me

No, you don't know the one
Who dreams of you at night
And longs to kiss your lips
And longs to hold you tight
Oh I'm just a friend
That's all I've ever been
'Cause you don't know me

I never knew
The art of making love
Though my heart aches
With love for you
Afraid and shy
I've let my chance to go by
The chance that you might
Love me, too

You give your hand to me
And then you say good-bye
I watch you walk away
Beside the lucky guy
You'll never never know
The one who loves you so
Well, you don't know me
