Tupelo Honey - Van MorrisonYou can take all the tea in china Put it in a big brown bag for me Sail right around the seven oceans Drop it straight into the deep blue sea Shes as sweet as tupelo honey Shes an angel of the first degree Shes as sweet as tupelo honey Just like honey from the bee You cant stop us on the road to freedom You cant keep us cause our eyes can see Men with insight, men in granite Knights in armor bent on chivalry Shes as sweet as tupelo honey Shes an angel of the first degree Shes as sweet as tupelo honey Just like honey from the bee You cant stop us on the road to freedom You cant stop us cause our eyes can see Men with insight, men in granite Knights in armor intent on chivalry Shes as sweet as tupelo honey Shes an angel of the first degree Shes as sweet as tupelo honey Just like honey from the bee You know shes alright You know shes alright with me Shes alright, shes alright (shes an angel) You can take all the tea in china Put it in a big brown bag for me Sail it right around the seven oceans Drop it smack dab in the middle of the deep blue sea Because shes as sweet as tupelo honey Shes an angel of the first degree Shes as sweet as tupelo honey Just like honey from the bee Shes as sweet as tupelo honey Shes an angel of the first degree Shes as sweet as tupelo honey Just like the honey, baby, from the bee Shes my baby, you know shes alright..... van morrison - Tupelo Honey IP: Logged |

In my daughter's eyes I am a hero I am strong and wise and I know no fear But the truth is plain to see She was sent to rescue me I see who I wanna be In my daughter's eyesIn my daughter's eyes everyone is equal Darkness turns to light and the world is at peace This miracle God gave to me gives me strength when I am weak I find reason to believe In my daughter's eyes And when she wraps her hand around my finger Oh it puts a smile in my heart Everything becomes a little clearer I realize what life is all about It's hangin' on when your heart has had enough It's giving more when you feel like giving up I've seen the light It's in my daughter's eyes In my daughter's eyes I can see the future A reflection of who I am and what will be Though she'll grow and someday leave Maybe raise a family When I'm gone I hope you see how happy she made me For I'll be there In my daughter's eyes ~performed by Martina McBride

My Dad sang this at his mother's funeral many years ago. He still gets teary eyed every time he plays/sings it. I wasnt familiar with it until recently. It's a beautiful song, dont you think? Beyond the Sunset Hank Williams Should you go first and I remain, to walk the road alone Ill live in memory's garden dear, with happy days we've known In spring I'll wait for roses red, when faith the lilacs bloom And in early fall when brown leaves fall, I'll catch a glimpse of you Should you go first and I remain, for battles to be fought Each thing you've touched along the way, will be a hallowed spot I'll hear your voice ill see your smile Though blindly I may grope The memory of your helping hand, will buoy me on with hope beyond the sunset oh blissful morning When with our saviour, heaven is begun Earths toiling ended, oh glorious dawning Beyond the sunsetwhen day is done Should you go first and I remain, to finish with the scroll No lessening shadows shall ever creep in To make this life seem droll We've known so much of happiness, we've had our cup of joy And memory is one gift of god, that death cannot destroy I want to know each step you take, that I may walk the same For someday down that lonely road, you'll hear me call your name Should you go first and I remain, one thing ill have you do Walk slowly down that long long path, for soon ill follow you in that fair homeland we'll know no parting Beyond the sunset for ever more IP: Logged |

Wow It is absolutely beautiful and says so many perfect things. I am sorry to hear you don't get to have your Mom around physically anymore, T. I'm sure you feel her presence other ways. I know she is still connected to you. I will always be strongly connected to my daughter, wherever I may roam...IP: Logged |

I'm sorry, this is what happens when you don't read with care. You end up putting your foot in your mouth. Meaning I put my foot in my mouth after pontificating on about people needing to read things more thoroughly. Well, hopefully that means you still have your mommy to hug and to hold. I don't hug my own mother, but I am certain that if life graces her with about 10 more years I will have learned enough from being a parent myself that she will be completely forgiven and there will be more hugging. Hopefully it won't be too late by then. IP: Logged |

Hey dont worry about it. No biggie. I do that kind of thing all the time. My mom's Saturn is exactly opposite my Sun...and she's too far away to hug amyway. Your daughter is a lucky little girl to have you, and you her. IP: Logged |

If I could save time in a bottle The first thing that Id like to do Is to save every day Till eternity passes away Just to spend them with you If I could make days last forever If words could make wishes come true Id save every day like a treasure and then, Again, I would spend them with you But there never seems to be enough time To do the things you want to do Once you find them Ive looked around enough to know That youre the one I want to go Through time with If I had a box just for wishes And dreams that had never come true The box would be empty Except for the memory Of how they were answered by you But there never seems to be enough time To do the things you want to do Once you find them Ive looked around enough to know That youre the one I want to go Through time with IP: Logged |

I will give her everything I can... and then a little more. It will have to be enough.

I cant believe you didnt pick my favorite: Operator, well could you help me place this call? See, the number on the matchbook is old and faded. She's living in L. A. with my best old ex-friend Ray, A guy she said she knew well and sometimes hated.
Isn't that the way they say it goes? Well, let's forget all that And give me the number if you can find it, So I can call just to tell 'em Im fine and to show I've overcome the blow, Ive learned to take it well -- I only wish my words could just convince myself That it just wasn't real, but that's not the way it feels. Operator, well could you help me place this call? Well, I can't read the number that you just gave me. There's something in my eyes, you know it happens every time -- I think about a love that I thought would save me. Isn't that the way they say it goes? Well, let's forget all that And give me the number if you can find it, So I can call just to tell 'em Im fine and to show I've overcome the blow, Ive learned to take it well -- I only wish my words could just convince myself That it just wasn't real, but that's not the way it feels. No, no, no, no -- that's not the way it feels. Operator, well let's forget about this call -- There's no one there I really wanted to talk to. Thank you for your time, ah, you've been so much more than kind. And you can keep the dime. Isn't that the way they say it goes?

You know I'm a dreamer But my heart's of gold I had to run away high So I wouldn't come home lowJust when things ain't right It doesn't mean they were always wrong Just take this song and you'll never feel Left all alone Take me to your heart Feel me in your bones Just one more night And I'm comin' off this Long & winding road I'm on my way Well I'm on my way Home sweet home Tonight tonight I'm on my way I'm on my way Home sweet home You know that I've seen Too many romantic dreams Up in lights, fallin' off The silver screen My heart's like an open book For the whole world to read Sometimes nothing--keeps me together At the seams I'm on my way Well, I'm on my way Home sweet home Tonight tonight I'm on my way Just set me free Home sweet home ~Crue IP: Logged |

Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down Letting the days go by/water flowing underground Into the blue again/after the moneys gone Once in a lifetime/water flowing underground. And you may ask yourself How do I work this? And you may ask yourself Where is that large automobile? And you may tell yourself This is not my beautiful house! And you may tell yourself This is not my beautiful wife!

Come with me, and let's go wander Far beyond the wild blue yonder, Out where stars roam free. Though the journey's far from breezy, Stick with me, I'll make it easy- You can depend on me.Yeah, there's a long road before us, And it's a hard road, indeed. Bur darlin', I swear, I'll get us there, Wherever the trail may lead. Once we cross that far horizon, Life is bound to be surprisin'- But we'll take it day by day. Never mind the wind and weather, If we walk that trail together, Somehow we'll find our way. Yeah, there's a long road before us, And it's a hard road, indeed. Bur darlin', I vow, We'll get through somehow, Wherever the trail may lead. Can't tell you when we'll be there- It may take all our lives. We're headin' for that great unknown. We'll soon be walkin' free there, But 'til that day arrives, At least we won't be travellin' alone... And there's a long road before us, And it's a hard road, indeed. Bur darlin, don't fear, 'Cause I'll be right here, To give you the strength you need... And through the whole ride, I'll be by your side, Wherever the trail may lead. -Tim McGraw (from a Disney movie... he said "Great UnKnown")
