In linguistics, a copula (plural: copulas or copulae) is a word used to link the subject of a sentence with a predicate (a subject complement). The word copula derives from the Latin noun for a link or tie that connects two different things.
A copula is often a verb or a verb-like word, though this is not universally the case. A verb that is a copula is sometimes called a copulative or copular verb. In English primary education grammar courses, a copula is often called a linking verb. Other copulas show more resemblances to pronouns. This is the case for Classical Chinese and Guarani, for instance. In highly synthetic languages, copulas are often suffixes, attached to a noun, that may still behave otherwise like ordinary verbs, for example -u- in Inuit languages. In some other languages, such as Beja and Ket, the copula takes the form of suffixes that attach to a noun but are distinct from the person agreement markers used on predicative verbs. This phenomenon is known as nonverbal person agreement or nonverbal subject agreement and the relevant markers are always established as deriving from cliticised independent pronouns.
Joan Alexandra Molinsky (born June 8, 1933), better known by her stage name Joan Rivers, is an American television personality, comedian, and actress. She is known for her brash manner; her loud, raspy voice with a heavy New York accent; and her numerous cosmetic surgeries. Rivers' comic style relies heavily on her ability to poke fun at herself and other Hollywood celebrities.
Joan Rivers was born Joan Alexandra Molinsky in Brooklyn, a borough of New York City, the daughter of Russian Jewish immigrants Beatrice (née Grushman; January 6, 1906 – October 1975) and Meyer C. Molinsky (December 7, 1900 – January 1985). She was raised in Brooklyn, New York, and her family later moved to Larchmont, in Westchester County, New York. She attended Connecticut College between 1950 and 1952 and graduated from Barnard College in 1954 with a bachelor-of-arts degree in English literature and anthropology. Before entering show business, Rivers worked at various jobs such as a tour guide at Rockefeller Center, a writer/proofreader at an advertising agency and as a fashion consultant at Bond Clothing Stores. During this period, the agent Tony Rivers advised her to change her name, so she chose Joan Rivers as her stage name.

Time again
There's time my friend ...
And time will never end
You'll be free my love
You'll be free my love
Do you see our love?
Do you see our love?
Oh, honey ... honey
Honey ... honey
Can you see our love?
Do you feel our love?
To be free my love
To be free my love ...
Can you feel our love?
Can you feel our love?
I can feel your love
I can feel your love ...
Time again
There's time my friend ...
And time will never end
You'll be free my love
You'll be free my love
Do you see our love?
Do you see our love?
Oh, honey ... honey
Honey ... honey
Can you see our love?
Do you feel our love?
To be free my love
To be free my love ...
Can you feel our love?
Can you feel our love?
I can feel your love
How can I explain
The actions of a man
Who's so confused
He don't know if he's coming or going
If I knew I would
Do everything that I could
To change my ways
But life aint that easy
To be everything that you want me to be
It's a fantasy created only in your own mind
Only in your mind
Maybe now and then
I acted way out of line
But there was so much pain
And the truth is so hard to hide
How could you expect
For me to change my life
And walk away to leave all those tears behind
To be everything that you want me to be
It's a fantasy created only in your own mind
Only in your mind
To be everything that you want me to be
It's a fantasy created only in your own mind
To be everyrhing that you want me to be
It's a fantasy you've created only in your own mind
I never thought i'd rest my life
Like dreams don't dare to pretend
But a single day can change
All the future that you've planned
To go and see what's there for me
To be... or not to be?
You're laying here lonely
And I wish you speak
But the wires tell your stories
Cause your body is too weak
I take your hand and there's nothing
Is there someone inside?
And if there is,
is it still you in this body that's dying
There is a soul that keeps hearing
What's you're going to say
There is a soul that keeps feeling
It's someone who is longing to stay
I'm not sure but I hope that
I can help you if I could
Is it right that I'm thinking?
And is it wrong if I do?
How will I know the answer?
How can I stand the pain?
Hoe will I know the reason?
Why you're going away?
There is a way and I'm walking
There's a light in the dark
There's my hope that is leading
Me back to my life if I fight if I fight
Time goes by but standing still
All my life is passing by tears run dry
Words are gone
How can I keep going on - all alone?
There is a soul that keeps hearing
What you're going to say
There is a soul that keeps feeling
It's someone who is longing to stay
"tears run from my feline eyes"
did you ever know
you, so far away
waiting for an answer
waiting for another time
some kind of heaven
let your depths shine
the heartland may be flooded
the spire never drowns
just like the place
I always long for
to know I'll never reach
never reach you
thoughts and memories
are remedies to get a glimpse
of this light
I raise my arms toward
once more lights
everywhere anytime with you or you
oh do I dare in the narrow next time
oh do I get a next time at all
just take me out
Today I saw it was more I could take
Made my mind out of line
How can I breath if this world´s full of pain
leaving me no other choice
Like a wind, like a rain, like a storm
I will gain
Answers that held my mind
Gimme day, Gimme week
And I tell what I need
More days to live
Too many times we think we sense the danger
though we can´t even see ourselves
We´re talking ´bout the future
We´re worrying ´bout the future in our lives
We´re waiting for tomorrow to come
We´re talking ´bout the future
And the sound in my head keeps telling me
what is the truth and what is not
How can I know for sure
If we think we are clever enough
To find our mindless reign
I can´t stand no more
Time after you feel that you don´t believe why it is here
To be just for you
My past has turned out bad for me
Now I pick up the pieces to start over
And walking with you is the best thing I'll ever do
I'm taking your hand tonight
I want it to be forever you and me
You took me under your wings
Things will never be the same again
Your words sink like a needle that is breaking my skin
My mind is in harmony now I think of
All I think of is you
This warm affection means more than any other, and I'm with you now
My world belongs to you now and I embrace your open hand
I want it to be forever you and me
You took me under your wings
Things will never be the same again
Your words sink like a needle that is breaking my skin
My mind is in harmony now I think of you
You know what I see
this is for you
I love being me
you knew it all along
I look into your eyes as I open up my heart for you
I won't run in circles anymore
I want it to be forever you and me
You took me under your wings
Things will never be the same again
Your words sink like a needle that is breaking my skin
My mind, my mind will be with you
My mind will always be with you
My mind stays sane if you just love me now
Your words sink like a needle that is breaking my skin
