It Can’t Rain All the Time - Jane Siberry -
[SPOKEN:]
We walked the narrow path,
beneath the smoking skies.
Sometimes you can barely tell the difference
between darkness and light.
Do you have faith
in what we believe?
The truest test is when we cannot,
when we cannot see.

[SUNG:]
I hear pounding feet in the,
in the streets below, and the,
and the women crying and the,
and the children know that there,
that there’s something wrong,
and it’s hard to belive that love will prevail.

Oh it won’t rain all the time.
The sky won’t fall forever.
And though the night seems long,
your tears won’t fall forever.

Oh, when I’m lonely,
I lie awake at night
and I wish you were here.
I miss you.
Can you tell me
is there something more to believe in?
Or is this all there is?

In the pounding feet, in the,
In the streets below, and the,
And the window breaks and,
And a woman falls, there’s,
There’s something wrong, it’s,
It’s so hard to belive that love will prevail.

Oh it won’t rain all the time.
The sky won’t fall forever.
And though the night seems long,
your tears won’t fall, your tears won’t fall, your tears won’t fall
forever.

Last night I had a dream.
You came into my room,
you took me into your arms.
Whispering and kissing me,
and telling me to still belive.
But then the emptiness of a burning sea against which we see
our darkest of sadness.

Until I felt safe and warm.
I fell asleep in your arms.
When I awoke I cried again for you were gone.
Oh, can you hear me?

It won’t rain all the time.
The sky won’t fall forever.
And though the night seems long,
your tears won’t fall forever.
It won’t rain all the time
The sky won’t fall forever.
And though the night seems long,
your tears won’t fall, your tears won’t fall,
your tears won’t fall
forever.

Good morning, beautiful!

Finding someone you love and who loves you back is a  wonderful, wonderful feeling. But finding a soulmate is an even better feeling. A soulmate is someone who understands you like no other, will be there for you forever, no matter what. They say that nothing lasts forever, but I am a firm believer that for some, love lives on even after we’re gone.

MEMORIES LAST A LIFETIME, REMEMBER THAT.

p.s. I Love YOU

“Wish You Were Here (With Me) ~ Enrique Iglesias”

Funny how the years,
They just pass us by
Seems like yesterday,
You were in my life
You always wanted to start a family
I was way too young,
I was runnin’ free

[Chorus]
If you could only see me now,
You’d realise
I’m not the boy who made you cry
You gave yourself,
I didn’t see it
You died in me,
I should have saved you
Wish you were here with me

I thought i knew it all,
How stupid could i be
I think of what i had,
And it makes me weep

[Repeat chorus]

Sometimes,
You hurt the ones who love you most
And sometimes,
You hold the ones who leave you lost
And sometimes
You learn, but it’s too late
It’s too late

You gave yourself,
I didn’t see it
You died in me,
I should have saved you
You gave yourself
Why did you give youself to me
You died in me,
Why was i too blind to see
Wish you were here with me

(funny how the years, they just pass us by)

Just Walk Away - Celine Dion -

I know I never loved this way before
And no one else has loved me more
With you I’ve laughed and cried
I have lived and died
What I wouldn’t do just to be with you

I know I must forget you and go on
I can’t hold back my tears too long
Though life won’t be the same
I’ve got to take the blame
And find the strength I need to let you go

Just walk away
Just say goodbye
Don’t turn around now you may see me cry
I mustn’t fall apart
Or show my broken heart
Or the love I feel for you

So walk away
And close the door
And let my life be as it was before
And I’ll never never know
Just how I let you go
But there’s nothing left to say
Just walk away

There’ll never be a moment I’ll regret
I’ve loved you since the day we met
For all the love you gave
And all the love we made
I know I’ve got to find the strength to say

Just walk away
Just say goodbye
Don’t turn around now you may see me cry
I mustn’t fall apart
Or show my broken heart
Or the love I feel for you

So walk away
And close the door
And let my life be as it was before
And I’ll never never know
Just how I let you go
But there’s nothing left to say
Just walk away.

 
 __________________________________________________________
 

I wish I had the strength
I am but a slave
To the love I feel
I can’t let go
I don’t know how
I’m afraid of falling
Like I did before
Keep holding me
Hold on
and
don’t let go

RAIN

It rained when I loved you
A fine mist rose
out of the fog
slowly drizzling over my skin

Like words it slowly
showered
gently increasing with every drop
dimpling into my being as it fell

Now it is a downpour
Drenched to the bone
I am soaked
Wet through and through

Day after day
Time pass away
And I just can´t get you off my mind
Nobody knows … I hide it inside
I keep on searching but I can´t find
The courage to show …
To letting you know …
I´ve never felt so much love before
And once again I´m thinking about
Taking the easy way out …

CHORUS:
But if I let you go
I will never know
What my life would be
Holding you close to me
Will I ever see
You smiling back at me
How will I know?
If I let you go …

Night after night
I hear myself sayin´
Why can´t this feeling just fade away?
There´s no one like you …
You speak to my heart…
It´s such a shame we´re worlds apart …
I´m too shy to ask …
I´m too proud to lose
But sooner or later I gotta choose
And once again I´m thinking about Taking the easy way out …

Once again I´m thinking about ….
Taking the easy way out ….

IF I LET GO by Westlife

At any given time
A thought would come
And I would stop and pause
I look out the window and miss you

A song
A phrase that reminds me of you
Makes me pause, emotions wash over me
It courses through me and overtakes me

A snow flake falling
A carrot hued sky
A verdant green hill
A quietly shimmering sea

They all make me pause
I catch my breath
because my heart is full and heavy
and I succumb to the weight of your love

Lord,

It has been a long time since I entered your house and I turn away when someone starts talking to me about the bible. But you haven’t abandoned me yet, have you? Because just like that poem about footsteps in the sand, you are always there to carry me when I am too weak to stand.

I thought about you after I finished writing this post yesterday about listening to or paying attention to signs. I said it was LIFE sending the signs. Yes, I even said life was sending signs through the internet.  But it was really YOU wasn’t it? Oh i know I am just a hairline away from coming straight out and declaring myself an atheist, but I wouldn’t really mean that. I still believe in you, God, I really do. I just have a really bad aversion to salesmen and some of yours are the worst! Nothing personal, I know how hard it is to find good help these days.

But really, what I’m trying to say is THANK YOU. Thank you for not giving up on me even when I am ready to give up on you. Thank you for always showing me the signs and sometimes you’re not very subtle about it either. You know how I could be a little slow.

I’m learning to pay attention though and I’m learning to expect a sign from you whenever something is troubling me. I am learning to recognize the signs, even the ones that are not too clear or the ones that I don’t quite agree with. I am learning that the signals you give to tell me which way I should go are not always what I wish for, but I’m also learning to trust them. Sorry I’m a little slow like that. It’s that stubborn know-it-all in me, but you know that already; that’s why sometimes you send multiple signals and sometimes you stop just short of putting your message on neon signs with a big red X on it. But I’m learning, you won’t have to shout so loud or use bold and capital letters soon to get my attention.

This is holy week and Easter is on Sunday. Your devout followers have been going through the ritual of worshiping you, some of them for the last month! All I’ve done so far is contemplate what to have for Easter dinner and maybe boil some eggs. Well ok, I thought about coloring them too. Sorry about that, like I said, I’m not into the religious rituals thing. But you know I love you, right? You know that eventually all the decisions I make in life, I will make to honor you. Right?

Well this week, you’ll be proud of me because I turned the other cheek. I did it because of the signs you kept dropping on me just when I was letting ugliness and hate overcome me. And even when I decided to follow your signs, you just didn’t know when to stop! You still kept sending them! But that’s ok, because it made me feel better about forgiving. At least I didn’t feel too much like a doormat to be trampled on. I felt more like the welcome mat that people stepped on and saved dirt from tracking in the house.

So Lord, whatever it is that is being celebrated this Easter, your death or your resurrection, Happy that! And thanks again for not giving up on me. There is hope for me yet, I think.

The summer sun went down on our love long ago
But in my heart I feel the same old afterglow
A love so beautiful in every way
A love so beautiful we let it slip away

We were all too young to understand to ever know
That lovers drift apart and that’s the way love goes
A love so beautiful, a love so free
A love so beautiful, a love for you and me

And when I think of you I fall in love again
A love so beautiful in every way
A love so beautiful we let it slip away

And when I think of you I fall in love again
A love so beautiful we let it slip away
A love so beautiful in every way
A love so beautiful we let it slip away

A LOVE SO BEAUTIFUL by Michael Bolton

“Bloom wherever you are planted”

I once saw that quote on a wall hanging and I have taken it on as my own. Wherever I have gone, whoever I have been with, I’ve always tried to make the best of what I had right then and there. It’s a good mantra to live by, I think. It keeps me grounded.

But what to do, when the yearning for something you can’t have hits? Is there another wall hanging somewhere with something profound written on it to cure the green monster blues? Or is this one of those things that we just submit to and hope it abates? But what if you don’t want it to abate and your wanderlust is triggered and all you want to do is go? Go anywhere but where you are? What do you then?

HOME by Jack Johnson

I’ve got to get home there’s a garden to tend.
There’s fruit on the ground and the birds have all moved back
Into my attic with whistling static
When the young learn to fly I will patch all the holes up again.

Well I can’t believe that my lime tree is dead.
I thought it was sleeping, I guess it got fed up with not being fed
And I would be too.
I need food in my belly and hope that my time isn’t soon.

And so I’ll try to understand what I can’t hold in my hands
And wherever we are home is there too.
And if you could try to find it too ’cause this place is overgrowing
to whacks and gloom
Home is wherever we are if there’s nothing too.

In the back of house is trail that won’t end.
We’ve been walking so far that it grew back in
There’s no trail at all only grass growing tall
And I’ll get out my machete and battle with time once again,
But I’m bound to lose ’cause I’ll be damned if time don’t win.

I got to get home there’s a garden to tend
All the seeds from the fruit bear Eden
Begin their own family trees, teach them thank you and please
As they spread their own roots then watch the young fruit grow again
And this old trail will lead me right back to where it begins.

And so I’ll try to understand what I can’t hold in my hand
And whatever I find, I’ll find my way back to you.
And if you could try to find it too ’cause this place is overgrowing
to whacks and gloom.
Home is wherever we are if there’s nothing too
