And nobody cries. There’s only butterflies.
We will rideth bareback upon Shadowfax with his white mane through the Hobbits’ Shire with Gandalf . We will follow Dickon into the enchanted Secret Garden in Yorkshire and listen to the byrd’s swete song among the blossoms. We will swingeth a bat with Babe Ruth in a Field of Dreams in Iowa. We will boldly visit the Gamma Quadrant with E.T. on the holodeck of the U.S.S. Enterprise, while Jules Verne offers us a ride on a balloon. We will not be broken. We will find that place because the sun is on our side.
We thanketh Natasha Bedingfield for taking us away. We bow to her talent and send her Camelot wishes.
Natasha’s mother, Molly Bedingfield, is the founder of “ Global Angels ”. Global Angels is an innovative international children’s charity championing the needs of children around the world. The charity inspires people from all walks of life to become ‘Angels’, by putting compassion into action to make the difference in the lives of millions of children. Natasha Bedingfield is part of this chariot of compassion. We knew she had a good heart.

Pocketful of Sunshine Lyrics
I got a pocket, got a pocketful of sunshine.
I got a love, and I know that it’s all mine.
Oh.
Do what you want, but you’re never gonna break me.
Sticks and stones are never gonna shake me.
No.
Take me away: A secret place.
A sweet escape: Take me away.
Take me away to better days
Take me away: A hiding place.
I got a pocket, got a pocketful of sunshine.
I got a love, and I know that it’s all mine.
Oh.
Do what you want, but you’re never gonna break me.
Sticks and stones are never gonna shake me.
No.
I got a pocket, got a pocketful of sunshine.
I got a love, and I know that it’s all mine.
Oh.
Wish that you could, but you ain’t gonna own me.
Do anything you can to control me.
You can’t control me
You can’t control me.
Oh, no.
Take me away: A secret place.
A sweet escape: Take me away.
Take me away to better days
Take me away: A hiding place.
There’s a place that I go
That nobody knows
Where the rivers flow
And I call it home
And there’s no more lies.
In the darkness, there’s light.
And nobody cries. There’s only butterflies.
Take me away: A secret place.
A sweet escape take me away.
Take me away to better days.
Take me away: A hiding place.
Take me away: A secret place.
A sweet escape take me away.
Take me away to better days.
Take me away: A hiding place.
I got a pocket, got a pocketful of sunshine.
I got a love, and I know that it’s all mine.
Oh.
The sun is on my side.
Takes me for a ride.
I smile up to the sky.
I know I’ll be all right.
The sun is on my side.
Takes me for a ride.
I smile up to the sky.
I know I’ll be all right.

Dear Amanda,
Natasha does have a unique voice. It is quite remarkable to have a voice that one can recognize on a radio out of billions of people. Her choice of songs are also rather unique.

This song is one the greatest songs Ive ever heard. Very moving and driven. To see Natasha sing this song with all her beauty and powerful voice will make any man enjoy and sing Pocketfull of Sunshine. Thanks
Good Tidings John,
I watched Natasha when she appeared on American Idol and her voice even sounded more amazing than on the recording. Her voice is brilliant. So happy you absolutely love the song.
Take good care John,

We think this is a cool song also. I just heard her latest new single “Soulmate”, which is a soulful ballad that shows her depth as an artist. Listen to “Soulmate” on Natasha’s MySpace Page.

Hi Kaite,
The mind is a powerful force and can take us to places that can be even greater than a physical journey. Our soul can be our compass.
I thanketh you for taking the time to write your thoughts. I pray that you have great adventures even when you can’t get away. You are always welcome in Camelot.
Take care,
Lady Sharon
Hey Anonymous,

Dear Colleen,
Music can sometimes go places and seek out our strength for us. I thinketh that Natasha would be very touched to know that this song moved you so deeply.

when I first this song I couldn’t help but think of my guy but it more than a lover,I get it now!!! I love it!!!!!! you rock!!!
Hi Nardine and Sandy,
Natasha does rock. 🙂 The magic of music is the different energies it can emit. The fusion of melody, lyrics, voice, emotion and instruments move differently within each of us. It is fascinating how these notes can be given so many varied interpretations. Some songs seem to reinvent themselves and bring even deeper meaning. Thank you Sandy for sharing your thoughts.
Take care,
Lady Sharon
whoever uploaded this has my graditude
Natasha this song is wonderful ! 😀
Hello from Campbell, California!
Just wanted to leave you a quick note to let you know how your “Take Me Away” song instantly touched me as soon as I heard it for the first time.
It is one of those clean, thoughtful, fun and energetic songs that ‘takes listeners away’ on fantasy trips, especially on trying, tireing days!
It reminds me of how much I get lost in the arms of the woman I love, and that cannot be expressed any better than how you do it in your song. It is where my wife takes me whenever I look into her wonderful irish eyes!
Thanks for the exemplary song.

Dear Patrick,
How wonderful to hear your thoughts on this great song. There is an innocence about the song with a strong under current. Good music transcends boundaries and touches all souls. I pray one day we will all be in a better place. Each day if we try to make this world more loving then in a way we will find that place in the journey.
And we agree Natasha is very pretty.
Fare thee well Patrick,

I too find the song inspiring, and my interpretation of the song is totally different than most listeners. When I hear this song, I feel, finally someone came up with the lyrics to a song that I can relate too. In my interpretation of the song – it speaks of being lied too, being in a relationship with a person that wants to bring her down as well as control her. Its like she finally open her eyes and refuses to (be) or (listen) to what this person has to say, she knows that she has a lot to offer and she also talks about knowing a place where she goes or will go to, where there is no more lies and pain where she only sees or will see butterflies. Anyhow, I hope I didn’t piss anyone with my interpretation of the song.
Wilcume Marisol to Camelot,
I thinketh your interpretation is eye opening. I can see how you could see the song in this way. It is fascinating how music once it enters us, takes us all to different places. And sometimes we travel to the same place.
Art transcends boundaries. It moves something inside of us and vibrates in our soul. We love to hear how you feel or what you see when music enters your stratosphere. We embrace all interpretations because it deepens out connection to one another.
We thanketh you Marisol for opening our eyes and we wilcume you to ride by our Kingdom anytime for your words are special.
May you ride to your place of sunshine and butterflies.
Take care,
Lady Sharon

Hello Jim,
I was reviewing my comments and I realized I had missed your heartfelt thoughts. I apologize.
Your words describing how you are taken to a special place in the arms of your woman that you love, were beautiful. You are both blessed to find such a love.
I rode over to your Kingdom and found it very interesting. You cut a fine figure in a kilt! 🙂 You have a beautiful family.
I loveth the quote that is on your website:
“To be kind to all, to like many and love a few, to be needed and wanted by those we love, is certainly the nearest we can come to happiness.” ~ Mary Stewart, Queen
I pray that your little girl has a special angel to help guide her and keep her safe always. Good wishes to you and your lovely family.
