"Just the Way You Are" by Billy Joel with Marlee Matlin in signing on Sesame Street

Sign Language is such a beautiful language. Wondering if Marlee can understand the words or has it memorized? Sorry, there's no captioned but the lyrics are being provided below. ENJOY!!!!




Don't go changing, to try and please me,
You never let me down before,
Don't imagine, you're too familiar,
And I don't see you anymore.

I would not leave you, in times of trouble,
We never could have come this far,
I took the good times, I'll take the bad times,
I'll take you just the way you are.

Don't go trying, some new fashion,
Don't change the colour of your hair,
You always have my, unspoken passion,
Although I might not seem to care.

I don't want clever, conversation,
I never want to work that hard,
I just want someone, that I can talk to,
I want you just the way you are.

I need to know that you will always be
The same old someone that I knew,
What will it take till you believe in me,
The way that I believe in you?

I said I love you, and that's forever,
And this I promise from the heart,
I couldn't love you, any better,
I love you just the way you are.

I don't want clever, conversation,
I never want to work that hard,
I just want someone, that I can talk to,
I want you just the way you are.

Debby,
Thanks for you comments on my blog. We are so blessed to have Mariah in our family and for her to have CI's so early. We are excited about her hookup next week. I'm sure it will be a bit frightening for her. I read some of your story . . . amazing! Many blessings to you as you continue your journey.

Thanks Mark for the compliment. Just watch Mariah's face and it will open her eyes. It may be a little frightening when she's turn on at the very beginning. I will be following her hearing journey.

Best wishes,
Debbie
