Whenever I run
Wherever I run to you lost one
It's never done
Just hanging on

The past has let me leave
Returning as a dream
Shattered as belief

If you have to go don't say goodbye
If you have to go don't you cry
If you have to go I will get by
Someday I'll follow you
And see you on the other side

But for the grace of love
I'd will the meaning of
Heaven from above

Your picture out of time
Left aching in my mind
Shadows kept alive...

If you have to go don't say goodbye
If you have to go don't you cry
If you have to go I will get by
I will follow you
And see you on the other side

But for the grace of love
I'd will the meaning of
Heaven from above

Let me patient
let me kind
Make me unselfish
without being blind
though I may suffer I'll envy it not
and endure what comes
cause he's all that I got
and tell him....

Tell him I need him
Tell him I love him
and it 'll be alright

Now I may have faith to make mountains fall
But if I lack love then I am nothing at all
I can give away everything I possess
But left without Love
then I have no happiness
I know I'm not perfect and not without sin
But now that I'm older all childish things end
and tell him...

I'll never be jealous
And won't be too proud
Cause love is not boastful
And love is not loud
Tell him I need him
Tell him I love him
Everything's gonna be alright

by Trisha Yearwood/Garth Brooks

When the rain is blowing in your face
And the whole world is on your case
I could offer you a warm embrace
To make you feel my love

When evening shadows and stars appear
And there is no one to dry your tears
I could hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love

I know you haven't made your mind up yet
But I would never do you wrong
I've known it from the moment that we met
No doubt in my mind where you belong
I'd go hungry I'd go black and blue
I'd go crawling down the avenue
There ain't nothing that I wouldn't do
To make you feel my love

The storms are raging on a rolling sea
And on the highway of regret
The winds of change are blowing wild and free
You ain't see nothing like me yet
I could make you happy make your dreams come true
Nothing that I wouldn't do
Go to the ends of the earth for you
To make you feel my love

(Faith)
Baby I've been drifting away
Dreaming all day
I'm holding you, touching you
the only thing I wanna do
is be with you, as close to you
as I can be

Chorus

Let's make love
All night long
until all our strength is gone
hold on tight, just let go
I wanna feel you in my soul
untill the sun comes up
let's make love
ooooh baby

(Tim)
Do you know what you do to me
everything inside of me
is wanting you, and needing you
I'm so in love with you
look in my eyes
let's get lost tonight
with each other

Let's make love
all night long
until all our strength is gone
hold on tight just let go
I wanna feel you in my soul
until the sun comes up
Let's make love (x2)

(Faith)
ooooooh baby
let's make love
all night long let's make love

Wishin’ and Hopin’
From My Best Friend’s Wedding
Performed by Ani DeFranco

Wishin’, and hopin’, and thinkin’, and prayin’,
Plannin’, and dreamin’ each night of his charms,
That won’t get you into his arms.

So if you’re lookin’ ta find love you can share…
All you gotta do is:
Hold him, and kiss him, and love him,
And show him that you care.

Show him that you care, just for him.
Do the things that he likes to do.
Wear your hair, just for him…
’Cause you won’t get him thinkin’ and a-prayin’,
Wishin’ and a-hopin’, just…

Wishin’, and hopin’, and thinkin’, and prayin’,
Plannin’, and dreamin’ his kisses will start,
That won’t get you into his heart.

So if you’re thinkin’ of how great true love is,
All you gotta do is:
Hold him, and kiss him, and squeeze him, and love him,
Just do it, and after you do,
You will be his.

Show him that you care, just for him.
Do the things that he likes to do.
Wear your hair, just for him.
’Cause you won’t get him thinkin’ and a-prayin’,
Wishin’ and a-hopin’, just…

Wishin’, and hopin’, and thinkin’, and prayin’,
Plannin’, and dreamin’ his kisses will start,
That won’t get you into his heart.

So if you’re thinkin’ of how great true love is,
All you gotta do is:
Hold him, and kiss him, and squeeze him, and love him,
Just do it, and after you do,
You will be his…
You will be his…
You will be his…

Katie's sitting on the old front porch
Watching the chickens peck the ground
There ain't a whole lot going on tonight
In this one horse town.
Over yonder, coming up the road
In a beat-up Chevy truck
Her boyfriend Tommy, is laying on the horn
Splashing through the mud and the muck

Her daddy says, "he ain't worth a lick
When it comes to brains, he got the short end of the stick"
But Katie's young and man she just don't care
She'd follow Tommy anywhere

She's in love with the boy
She's in love with the boy
She's in love with the boy
And even if they have to run away
She's gonna marry that boy someday

Katie and Tommy at the drive-in movie
Parked in the very last row
They're too busy holding on to one another
To even care about the show
But later on outside the Tastee Freeze,
Tommy slips something on her hand
He says, "my high school ring will have to do
Till I can buy a wedding band"

Her daddy says, "he ain't worth a lick
When it comes to brains, he got the short end of the stick"
But Katie's young and man she just don't care
She'd follow Tommy anywhere
She's in love with the boy
She's in love with the boy
She's in love with the boy
And even if they have to run away
She's gonna marry that boy someday

Her daddy's waiting up till half past twelve
When they come sneaking up the walk
He says, "young lady get on up to your room
While me and junior have a talk"
But Mama breaks in and says, "don't lose your temper
It wasn't very long ago
When you yourself was just a hay-seed plowboy
Who didn't have a row to hoe"

"My daddy said you wasn't worth a lick
When it came to brains, you got the short end of the stick
But he was wrong and honey you are too
Katie looks at Tommy like I still look at you"

She's in love with the boy
She's in love with the boy
She's in love with the boy
What's meant to be will always find a way
She's in love with the boy
She's in love with the boy
She's in love with the boy

What's meant to be will always find a way
She's gonna marry that boy someday.
She's in love with the boy....

The News - Jack Johnson (he sings this like magic)

--A billion people died on the news tonight
But not so many cried at the terrible sight
Well mama said
It's just make believe
You can't believe everything you see
So baby close your eyes to the lullabies
On the news tonight

Who's the one to decide that it would be alright
To put the music behind the news tonight
Well mama said
You can't believe everything you hear
The diagetic world is so unclear
So baby close your ears
On the news tonight
On the news tonight

The unobtrusive tones on the news tonight
And mama said
Mmm

We used to read a fairy tail to our children
We send them off to dream with the conversation
Now we just switch on the television
There gonna learn to love with no imagination
You send them off to dream with too much information
There gonna learn to love with no imagination

Why don't the newscasters cry when they read about people who die?
At least they could be decent enough to put just a tear in their eyes
Mama said
It's just make believe
You cant believe everything you see
So baby close your eyes to the lullabies
On the news tonight --

...and then said 'Our children will hear lullabies'..aaawww

"When I die I wish to come back as one of her tears. What man would be so lucky as to have been conceived in her heart, born in her eyes, live on her cheeks, and die at her lips."

"Love is ... running into his arms, colliding with his heart, and exploding into his soul."

"Romance means making love to his soul without ever touching his body." - Anon

"There comes a time in every life we find the heart we're looking for."

"In the cathedral of my heart a candle will always be lit for you." - Hardy Kruger

"A kiss is just a kiss until you find the one you love. A hug is just a hug until you find the one your always thinking of. A dream is just a dream until it comes true. Love is just a word until its proven to you."

"Things around us, houses, jobs, cars, they're props, they're settings for our love. The things we own, the places we live, the events of our lives, empty settings. How easy to chase after the settings and forget the diamonds. The only thing that matters at the end of our stay on this earth, is how well did we love, what was the quality of our love?" - The Bridge Across Forever

"We were written in the stars, my love, all that separated us, was time, the time it took to read the map which was placed within our hearts, to find our way back to one another."

"Within you, I lose myself, without you, I find myself, searching to be lost again."

"It was a million tiny things like that, when you add them all up, that meant we were suppose to be together, and I knew it." - Sleepless in Seattle

"The simple thought of him means more to me then the presence of others."

"When he kisses you he isn't doing anything else. You're his whole universe, and the moment is eternal because he doesn't have any plans and isn't going anywhere. Just kissing you ... it's overwhelming." - Robert Heinlein

"I lie and bed and night and wonder where that special person is, whats his name, whats he doing or thinking, what color are his eyes, what do his hands look like, but most of all I wonder when I'll find him."

"There are those who do not believe that a single soul born in heaven can split into twin spirits and shoot like falling stars to earth where over oceans and continents their magnetic forces will finally unite them back into one. But how else to explain love at first sight?" - Don Juan DeMarco

"Love & electricity are one in the same my dear, if you do not feel the jolt in your soul, every time a kiss is shared, a whisper is spoken, a touch is felt, then you're not really in love." - C. J. Franks

"Eyes that long to see you, ears that listen to hear you, lips that yearn to kiss you, a heart that beats to love you, arms that ache to hold you, hands that need to touch you, a body that lives to fulfill you, a spirit that dies without you. Thats, thats ... love."

"I wish I may ... I wish I might ... be the one you wish for tonight."

"If it is your time, love will track you down like a cruise missile." - Lynda Barry

"The space between your fingers were created so that another person's fingers could fill them in."

"Sometimes I feel there's a hole inside of me; An emptiness that at times seems to burn. I have this dream of being whole. Not going to bed each night wanting. But still sometimes, when the wind is warm or the crickets sing, I dream of a love that even time will lie down and be still for. I just want someone to love me and I want to be seen." - Practical Magic

Soulmates
by Richard Bach

A soulmate is someone who has the locks
to fit our keys, and the keys to fit our
locks. When we feel safe enough to open
the locks, our truest selves step out and
we can be completely and honestly who we
are; we can be loved for who we are and
not for who we're pretending to be.
Each of us unveils the best part of one
another. No matter what else goes wrong
around us, with that one person were safe
in our paradise. Our soulmate is someone
who shares our deepest longings, our sense
of direction. When we're two balloons, and
together our direction is up, chances are
we've found the right person. Our soulmate
is the one who makes life come to life.

"I have learned not to worry about love;
but to honor its coming with all my heart." -Alice Walker

"The minute I heard my first love story,
I started looking for you, not knowing how blind that was. Lovers don't finally meet somewhere. They're in each other all along." - Rumi

Eros' arrows
are dipped in fire.

~ Hesiod

Lovers all use the same script
when they play their final scene

"Well we almost made it, didn't we?
It's really better this way
I'll call you someday"
after a love affair ends
and they know it's time they parted

With you, it was
"Can't we be friends?"

"Friends?"

That's how the whole thing started!

old chum, old pal, old Water Bearer buddy of mine
my comical, blundering, lost and lonely Valentine

As a kid my nose would be inside
A book of poetry
I memorized the movies where
Into each others' eyes the lovers stare

I.e, Zhivago with his Laura
In their cottage in the snow
Ten below

With only love to keep them warm
I soon discovered with alarm
Real Life could not compete
With fiction or widescreen love
On the street

No face was shining there to meet me
In soft focus is my heart
Blew the part

Seems like to me stormy weather
Would always hide the moon
I flew the wind like a feather
Into the wrong monsoon

Until the light of your smile
Carried me to this island
I'd lost my way

But now I'll never be lost again
I'm not ashamed to say
I know for sure
Now love has no end
No end.

I used to be
Amorously
So cynical
But now
I now for sure love has no end

The game of hearts
Was long false starts
Until you taught me how
To know for sure love has no end

'Til I met you
I never knew
The joy of two
But now I now for sure love has no end

Everything in moderation, that's the way it's always been
Never gettin' out of control - never hanging it out
Always reelin' it in
I saved my money for a rainy day
But now I've had enough of playin' it safe
I wanna go too far, I wanna go too fast
Somebody draw the line so I can blow right past
I wanna spend too much, I wanna stay too late
I'm gonna roar too loud, I'm gonna be that way
I wanna play too hard, I wanna go too far

I'm the one they all depend on
Sensible, predictable, and strong
But every now and then,
I feel like I've played that role too long
I need to rock the boat, I need to speak my mind
Just this once let it all unwind

I wanna go too far, I wanna go too fast
Somebody draw the line so I can blow right past
I wanna spend too much, I wanna stay too late
I'm gonna roar too loud, I'm gonna be that way
I wanna play too hard, I wanna go too far

I've gotta set this spirit free
That's hiding here inside
I feel like a bird in a cage
It's time for me to fly

posted June 13, 2003 05:08 AM           

You spend all your time waiting
for that second chance
For the break that would make it ok

There's always some reson to feel
Not good enough
And it's hard at the end
Of the day

I need some distraction
Oh! beautiful release
The memories seep from my veins
Let me be empty

Oh and weightless and maybe
I'll find some peace tonight

chorus:
In the arms of the angel
Fly away from here
From this dark, cold hotel room
And the endlessness that you fear

You are pulled from the wreckage
Of your silent reverie
You're in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort here end chorus

You're so tired of the straight line
And everywhere you turn
There's vultures and thieves
At your back...

The storm keeps on twistin'
You keep on building the lies
That you make up for all that you lack...
It don't make no differece

Escaping one last time
It's easier to believe
In this sweet madness Oh this glorious
sadness that brings me to my kness

A thousand years, a thousand more,
A thousand times a million doors to eternity
I may have lived a thousand lives, a thousand times
An endless turning stairway climbs
To a tower of souls
If it takes another thousand years, a thousand wars,
The towers rise to numberless floors in space
I could shed another million tears, a million breaths,
A million names but only one truth to face

A million roads, a million fears
A million suns, ten million years of uncertainty
I could speak a million lies, a million songs,
A million rights, a million wrongs in this balance of time
But if there was a single truth, a single light
A single thought, a singular touch of grace
Then following this single point , this single flame,
The single haunted memory of your face

I still love you
I still want you
A thousand times the mysteries unfold themselves
Like galaxies in my head

I may be numberless, I may be innocent
I may know many things, I may be ignorant
Or I could ride with kings and conquer many lands
Or win this world at cards and let it slip my hands
I could be cannon food, destroyed a thousand times
Reborn as fortune's child to judge another's crimes
Or wear this pilgrim's cloak, or be a common thief
I've kept this single faith, I have but one belief
