Laughed Quote by Lorenz Hart
““Once I laughed when, I heard you saying that I'd be playing, solitaire, uneasy in my, easy chair. It never entered my mind. Once you told me, I was mistaken, that I'd awaken, with the sun and order orange juice for one. It never entered my mind. You have what I lack myself and now I even have to scratch my back myself. Once you warned me that if you scorned me I'd sing the maiden's prayer again and wish that you were there again to get into my hair again. It never entered my mind. ””
