[SouthernSunshine]

 

This song takes on many meanings....not just finding someone to love, getting love back, but also learning to try and love yourself.

"Ordinary World"

 

Came in from a rainy Thursday

On the avenue

Thought I heard you talking softly

 

I turned on the lights, the TV

And the radio

Still I can't escape the ghost of you

 

What has happened to it all?

Crazy, some are saying

Where is the life that I recognize?

Gone away

 

But I won't cry for yesterday

There's an ordinary world

Somehow I have to find

And as I try to make my way

To the ordinary world

I will learn to survive

 

Passion or coincidence

Once prompted you to say

"Pride will tear us both apart"

Well now pride's gone out the window

Cross the rooftops

Run away

Left me in the vacuum of my heart

 

What is happening to me?

Crazy, some'd say

Where is my friend when I need you most?

Gone away

 

But I won't cry for yesterday

There's an ordinary world

Somehow I have to find

And as I try to make my way

To the ordinary world

I will learn to survive

 

Papers in the roadside

Tell of suffering and greed

Here today, forgot tomorrow

Ooh, here besides the news

Of holy war and holy need

Ours is just a little sorrowed talk

 

And I don't cry for yesterday

There's an ordinary world

Somehow I have to find

And as I try to make my way

To the ordinary world

I will learn to survive

 

Every one

Is my world, I will learn to survive

Any one

Is my world, I will learn to survive

Any one

Is my world

Every one

Is my world

Thanks for posting this! Reminds me of my first love. It was his song to me.. He knew before it happened that I was going to leave him because his drugs/meth came before anyone. *sigh*... takes me back...

 

Don't feel bad SouthernSunshine....it was my STBXH's song to me as well...right before the left his family for the first time.

 

His next song to me before he left the second time was Used to Love Her, But I Had to Kill Her.....ain't love grand....:rolleyes::rolleyes:

[mikeymad]

I got the call today, I didn't wanna hear

But I knew that it would come

An old true friend of ours was talkin' on the phone

She said you found someone

And I thought of all the bad luck,

And the struggles we went through

And how I lost me and you lost you

What are these voices outside love's open door

Make us throw off our contentment

And beg for something more?

 

I'm learning to live without you now

But I miss you sometimes

The more I know, the less I understand

All the things I thought I knew, I'm learning again

I've been tryin' to get down to the Heart of the Matter

But my will gets weak

And my thoughts seem to scatter

But I think it's about forgiveness

Forgiveness

Even if, even if you don't love me anymore

 

These times are so uncertain

There's a yearning undefined

...People filled with rage

We all need a little tenderness

How can love survive in such a graceless age

The trust and self-assurance that can lead to happiness

They're the very things we kill, I guess

Pride and competition cannot fill these empty arms

And the work I put between us,

Doesn't keep me warm

 

I'm learning to live without you now

But I miss you, Baby

The more I know, the less I understand

All the things I thought I figured out, I have to learn again

I've been tryin' to get down to the Heart of the Matter

But everything changes

And my friends seem to scatter

But I think it's about forgiveness

Forgiveness

Even if, even if you don't love me anymore

 

There are people in your life who've come and gone

They let you down and hurt your pride

Better put it all behind you; life goes on

You keep carrin' that anger, it'll eat you inside

 

I've been tryin' to get down to the Heart of the Matter

But my will gets weak

And my thoughts seem to scatter

But I think it's about forgiveness

Forgiveness

Even if, even if you don't love me anymore

 

I've been tryin' to get down to the Heart of the Matter

Because the flesh will get weak

And the ashes will scatter

So I'm thinkin' about forgiveness

Forgiveness

Even if, even if you don't love me anymore

UNDO IT!!!!!

[44caliberloveletter]

To my Mother

To my Father

It's your son or

It's your daughter

Are my screams

Loud enough for

You to hear me?

Should I turn this up for you?

 

I sit here locked inside my head

Remembering everything you've said

The silence gets us no where

Gets us no where way too fast

 

The silence

Is what kills me

I need someone

Here to help me

But you don't know

How to listen

And let me make

My decisions

 

I sit here locked inside my head

Remembering everything you've said

The silence gets us no where

Gets us no where way too fast

 

All your insults

And your curses

Make me feel like I'm not a person

And I feel like

I am nothing

But you made me

So do something

 

Cause I'm ****ed up

Because you are

Need attention

Attention you couldn't give

 

I sit here locked inside my head

Remembering everything you've said

The silence gets us no where

Gets us no where way too fast

 

I sit here locked inside my head

Remembering everything you've said

The silence gets us no where

Gets us no where way too fast

[44caliberloveletter]

Jynx me something crazy

Thinking if it's three

then I'm as smooth as the skin

rolls across the small of your back

It's too bad it's not my style

If you need me

I'm out and on the parkway,

patient and waiting for headlights,

dressed in a fashion that's fitting to the

inconsistencies of my moods

 

It's times like these, where silence means everything

And no one is to know about this

It's times like these, where silence means everything

And no one is to know about this

 

It's a campaign of distraction

and revisionist history, oh

 

It's a shame I don't think that they'll notice

(it's a shame, I don't think that they'll notice)

It's a shame I doubt they even care

(it's a shame I doubt they even care)

No one is to know about this

 

It's a shame I don't think that they'll notice

(it's a shame, I don't think that they'll notice)

It's a shame I doubt they even care

(it's a shame I doubt they even care)

Don't let me down

 

But whatever I have gettin' myself into

maybe has been slicing inches from my waist

It's my fist vs. the bottle

(and thank god you weren't there...)

And that's how bad could this hurt

or against I won't feel a thing

(and thank god you weren't there...)

I tell you all about it

It's just not working out

(...to watch me hit bottom)

not working out

 

It's a campaign of distraction

and revisionist history, oh

 

It's a shame I don't think that they'll notice

(it's a shame, I don't think that they'll notice)

It's a shame I doubt they even care

(it's a shame I doubt they even care)

No one is to know about this

 

It's a shame I don't think that they'll notice

(it's a shame, I don't think that they'll notice)

It's a shame I doubt they even care

(it's a shame I doubt they even care)

No one has to know about this

Don't let me down

 

This is why we were taught so much better than this

This is why we were taught so much better than this

 

This is what living like this does

This is what living like this does

This is what living like this does

This is what living like this does

This is what living like this does

This is what living like this does

This is what living like this does

This is what living like this does

This is what living like this does

[44caliberloveletter]

So, scream I heard about your message,

And how it reeked of your indifference,

It bleeds horizontal straight from your wrist.

(So scream louder now)

I'm bound to come around about

(Bound to come around)

But can’t you, can’t you feel it rolling off your lips,

Tensing up your shoulders,

C’mon say it is...

 

[Chorus]

Well, it's love (It's love)

Make it hurt (I deserve it)

Well, it's love (It's love)

Make it hurt (I deserve it)

Well, it’s love, it’s love, it’s love...

Make it hurt.

 

I said I use the inconsistencies

To undress the machine,

You're the poster boy, their selling point, the focus for their new campaign.

(Something has to be done)

I'm bound to come around about

(Bound to come around)

Oh, but can’t you, can’t you feel it rolling off your lips,

Tensing up your shoulders, c’mon...

 

[Chorus]

 

The keys to the castle

(Are right where I left them)

The princess walked in just to take more attention,

'Cause after all, well isn't that all that I've been after and,

After all, well isn't that all that I'm after,

You're so...

 

(No way out) I'll give up in you, I'll give up in you,

(No way out) I'll give up in you.

(No way out) I'll give up in you, I'll give up in you,

(No way out) I'll give up in you.

 

I wanted you for nothing more,

Than hating you for what you were,

If that's what you wanted to hear,

(Well, if that's what you wanted to hear)

I wanted you for nothing more,

Than hating you for what you were,

(Don't leave, leave) If that's what you wanted to hear,

(If that's what you wanted to hear)

I wanted you for nothing more,

Than hating you for what you were,

(Don't leave, leave) If that's what you wanted to hear,

(If that's what you wanted to hear)

(It's love, it's love) I wanted you for nothing more,

(Make it hurt, I deserve it) Than hating you for what you were,

(If that's what you wanted to hear)

That's what you wanted to hear,

(To hear) If that's what you wanted to hear.

(If that is how you'll let it burn)

[44caliberloveletter]

Home

Three Days Grace

 

I'll be coming home just to be alone

'Cause I know you're not there

And I know that you don't care

I can hardly wait to leave this place

 

No matter how hard I try you're never satisfied

This is not a home I think I'm better off alone

You always disappear even when you're here

This is not my home I think I'm better off alone

 

Home, home, this house is not a home, home

This house is not a home

 

By the time you come home I'm already stoned

You turn off the TV and you scream at me

I can hardly wait

Till you get off my case

 

No matter how hard I try you're never satisfied

This is not a home I think I'm better off alone

You always disappear even when you're here

This is not my home I think I'm better off alone

 

Home, home this house is not a home, home

This house is not a home, home

This house is not a home, home

This house is not a home

 

I'm better off alone

No matter how hard I try, you're never satisfied

This is not a home, I think I'm better off alone

You always disappear even when you're here

This is not my home I think I'm better off alone

 

Home, home this house is not a home, home

This house is not a home, home

This house is not a home, home

This house is not a home

Crosstown Traffic

 

Mr J. Hendrix

 

You jump in front of my car when you,

You know all the time that

Ninety miles an hour, girl, is the speed I drive

You tell me it's alright, you don't mind a little pain

You say you just want me to take you for a ride

 

You're just like crosstown traffic

So hard to get through to you

Crosstown traffic

I don't need to run over you

Crosstown traffic

All you do is slow me down

And I'm tryin' to get on the other side of town

 

I'm not the only soul who's accused of hit and run

Tire tracks all across your back

I can see you had your fun

But darlin' can't you see my signals turn from green to red

And with you I can see a traffic jam straight up ahead

 

You're just like crosstown traffic

So hard to get through to you

Crosstown traffic

I don't need to run over you

Crosstown traffic

All you do is slow me down

And I got better things

Somewhere I Belong

Linkin Park

 

 

(When this began)

I had nothing to say

And I get lost in the nothingness inside of me

(I was confused)

And I let it all out to find

That I’m not the only person with these things in mind

(Inside of me)

But all that they can see the words revealed

Is the only real thing that I’ve got left to feel

(Nothing to lose)

Just stuck, hollow and alone

And the fault is my own, and the fault is my own

 

[Chorus]

I wanna heal, I wanna feel what I thought was never real

I wanna let go of the pain I’ve felt so long

(Erase all the pain till it’s gone)

I wanna heal, I wanna feel like I’m close to something real

I wanna find something I’ve wanted all along

Somewhere I belong

 

And I’ve got nothing to say

I can’t believe I didn’t fall right down on my face

(I was confused)

Looking everywhere only to find

That it’s not the way I had imagined it all in my mind

(So what am I)

What do I have but negativity

’Cause I can’t justify the way, everyone is looking at me

(Nothing to lose)

Nothing to gain, hollow and alone

And the fault is my own, and the fault is my own

 

I will never know myself until I do this on my own

And I will never feel anything else, until my wounds are healed

I will never be anything till I break away from me

I will break away, I'll find myself today

[44caliberloveletter]

A Place For My Head

Linkin Park

 

 

I watch how the moon sits in the sky in the dark night

Shining with the light from the sun

The sun doesn't give light to the moon assuming

The moon’s going to owe it one

It makes me think of how you act to me

You do favors and then rapidly

You just turn around and start asking me

about things that you want back from me

 

I’m sick of the tension, sick of the hunger

Sick of you acting like I owe you this

Find another place, to feed your greed -

While I find a place to rest

 

I want to be in another place

I hate when you say you don’t understand

(You’ll see it's not meant to be)

I want to be in the energy, not with the enemy

A place for my head

 

Maybe someday I’ll be just like you

and step on people like you do and

Run away the people I thought I knew

I remember back then who you were

You used to be calm, used to be strong

Used to be generous but you should’ve known

That you’d wear out your welcome

now you see how quiet it is, all alone

 

You try to take the best of me

Go away

[Zombie]

 

Big Star - Holocaust:

 

Your eyes are almost dead

Can't get out of bed

And you can't sleep

You're sitting down to dress

And you're a mess

You look in the mirror

You look in your eyes

Say you realize

Everybody goes

Leaving those who fall behind

Everybody goes

As far as they can,

They don't just care.

They stood on the stairs

Laughing at your errors

Your mother's dead

She said, "Don't be afraid."

Your mother's dead

You're on your own

She's in her bed

Everybody goes

Leaving those who fall behind

Everybody goes

As far as they can

They don't just care

You're a wasted face

You're a sad-eyed lie

You're a holocaust.

You know how karma and irony sort of sneak up and kick you in the a**...Here's irony, my STBXH and I used to do karaoke....one song we always did together was Love Shack by the B-52's. We even sang it at our wedding reception, came across the pics the other day. Irony, is when I came across this site during our first split in July last year.

 

If we were to do a duet today....with what I have learned and how I have seen him change, this would be the letting go song....

 

"What Can I Say"

 

Piercing words, eyes are red

Watched your tail lights in the rain

Empty heart filled with regret

I know we were both to blame

 

And I'm not sorry that it's over

But for the way we let it end

So I said all I had to say

In letters that I threw away

 

And you should know, please believe me

I've picked up the phone a thousand times

And tried to dial your number

But it's been so long, it's never easy

It's like trying to spin the world the other way

What can I say?

 

How did it come to this?

I think about you all the time

It's no excuse, but i wish

That I never made you cry

 

I'm not sorry that it's over

But for the way we let it end

I couldn't find the world to say

 

And you should know, please believe me

I've picked up the phone a thousand times

And tried to dial your number

But it's been so long, it's never easy

It's like trying to spin the world the other way

What can I say?

 

What can I say?

 

I hate to think all you had of me

(I said all I had to say)

Is a memory I left you

The space between what was meant to be

(In letters that I threw away)

And the mess that it turned into

 

And you should know, please believe me

I've picked up the phone a thousand times

And tried to dial your number

But it's been so long, it's never easy

It's like trying to spin the world the other way

 

It's like trying to spin the world the other way

What can I say?

 

What can I say?

Rea

 

My world is miles of endless roads

That leaves a trail of broken dreams

Where have you been I hear you say

I will meet you at the Blue Cafe

Because, this is where the one who knows

Meets the one who does not care

The cards of fate, the older shows

The younger one, who dares to take

The chance of no return

Where have you been?

Where are you going to?

I want to know what is new

I want to go with you

What have you seen?

 

What do you know that is new?

Where are you going to?

Because I want to go with you

So meet me down at the Blue Cafe

The cost is great, the price is high

Take all you know, and say goodbye

Your innocence, inexperience

Mean nothing now

Because, this is where the one who knows

Meets the one who does not care

Where have you been I hear you say

I'll meet you at the Blue Cafe

So meet me at the Blue Cafe

[SouthernSunshine]

My ex chose drugs over me, and everyone else. All the drug crowds coming and going, and all the people he cheated with. We were both addicts, but he became a dealer. I finally got clean, and moved on. I loved him so much.. I never want to feel that pain again.

 

 

 

You

It's for you

Only you

It's for you

 

I never know

I never care

I never believe my people

I'll tell you what I say

I never lie

I never try

I never cry for you people

I'll push you

Push you away

As you lonely people

Keep on running around my door

Yes, you lonely people

Keep on begging

Beg for more

And I'll cry for you

Yes I'll die for you

Pain in my heart it is real

And I'll tell you now how I feel inside

Feel in my heart it's for you

 

It's for you

Only you

It's for you

 

I'll never try

I'll never die

I'll never push for you people

I'll tell you how I feel

I'll never lie

I'll never cry

I'll never try for you people

I'll tell you, yes it's real

And you lonely people

Keep on passing time away

Yes you lonely people keep on passing,

Passing away

 

And I'll cry for you

Yes, I'll die for you

Pain in my heart it is real

And I'll tell you now how I feel inside

Feel in my heart it's for you

And I'll take everything

As it comes my way

Pushin' your pain 'round my door

Will I cry for you as I die for you?

Is this blood on my hands all for you?

 

You shiver

And shudder

Recovers your mother

You feel it take control

All alone

Feel alive

In your soul

 

Come around town

Steal another dime

Take another line

Won't you feel it

Blanket your soul

Out of mind

Come around town

Steal another dime

Do another crime

Won't you get it higher & higher

Roll through time

Come around town

Steal another dime

Don't you push your drugs in my face

Yes, I'm feeling

Feeling fine

Don't you push your drugs in my face

Or I'm gonna put you in your place

**** you

I don't want it no more

And it's mine

Said this pain in my heart is all mine

Yes, it's mine all alone

 

I don't want it no more

I don't want it no more

I don't want it no more

I don't want it no more

 

And it's mine on my own

Yes, it's mine all alone

 

As I cry for you

Yes, I'll die for you

Pain in my heart, it is real

And I'll take

Everything as it comes my way

Feel in my heart it's for you

And I'll lie for you as I die for you

Pain in my heart it is real

And I'll tell you now

How I feel inside

**** you

It's for you

Old Apartment- Barenaked Ladies

 

Broke into the old apartment

This is where we used to live

Broken glass, broke and hungry

Broken hearts and broken bones

This is where we used to live

Why did you paint the walls?

Why did you clean the floor?

Why did you plaster over the hole I punched in the door?

 

This is where we used to live

 

Why did you keep the mousetrap?

Why did you keep the dishrack?

These things used to be mine

I guess they still are, I want them back

 

Broke into the old apartment

Forty-two stairs from the street

Crooked landing, crooked landlord

Narrow laneway filled with crooks

This is where we used to live

 

Why did they pave the lawn?

Why did they change the locks?

Why did I have to break it, I only came here to talk

This is where we used to live

 

How is the neighbor downstairs?

How is her temper this year?

I turned up your TV and stomped on the floor just for fun

 

I know we don't live here anymore

We bought an old house on the Danforth

She loves me and her body keeps me warm

I'm happy there

But this is where we used to live

 

Broke into the old apartment

Tore the phone out of the wall

Only memories, fading memories

Blending into dull tableaux

I want them back

 

I want them back

This is where we used to live

I want them back

This is where we used to live

I want them back

This is where we used to live

I want them back

[SouthernSunshine]

 

This ain't no temporary, typical, tearful good-bye, uh uh uh

This ain't no breakin' up and wakin' up and makin' up one more time, uh uh uh

This is gone (gone) gone (gone) gone (gone) gone

 

Gone like a freight-train, gone like yesterday

Gone like a soldier in the civil war, bang bang

Gone like a '59 Cadillac

Like all the good things that ain't never coming back

She's gone (gone) gone (gone) gone (gone) gone, she's gone

 

This ain't no give it time, I'm hurtin' but maybe we can work it out, uh uh uh

Won't be no champagne, red rose, romance, second chance, uh uh uh

This is gone (gone) gone (gone) gone (gone) gone

 

Gone like a freight-train, gone like yesterday

Gone like a soldier in the civil war, bang bang

Gone like a '59 Cadillac

Like all the good things that ain't never coming back

She's gone (gone) gone (gone) gone (gone) gone

She's gone

 

She's gone (gone) gone (gone) gone (gone) gone, she's gone

 

Gone like a freight-train, gone like yesterday

Gone like a soldier in the civil war, bang bang

Gone like a '59 Cadillac

Like all the good things that ain't never coming back

She's gone (gone) she's gone (gone) she's gone (gone) she's gone

She's gone

 

Gone like a freight-train, gone like yesterday

Gone like a soldier in the civil war, bang bang

Gone like a '59 Cadillac

Like all the good things

Well, she's gone

 

Long gone, done me wrong

Never comin' back, my baby's gone

Lonely at home, sittin' all alone

She's packed her bags and now she's gone

Never comin' back, she's gone

No no never, no no never, no never comin' back

Today is May 12....in 3 days, my best friend Billy would have been 45 but he was taken from me 10 years ago this upcoming June. Since I started this thread, and I do realize it's a popular thread when it hits the top of the boards....I will be posting these lyrics to keep them at the top of the songs thread in respect of my darling Billy until after his birthday has passed....he deserves that respect.

 

You may think that I'm talkin' foolish

You've heard that I'm wild and I'm free

You may wonder how, I can promise you now

This love that I feel for you always will be

 

But you're not just time that I'm killin'

I'm no longer one of those guys

As sure as I live, this love that I give

Is gonna be yours until the day that I die

 

Oh, baby! I'm gonna love you forever, forever and ever, Amen!

As long as old men sit n' talk about the weather

As long as old women sit n' talk about old men

If you wonder how long I'll be faithful

I'll be happy to tell you again

I'm gonna love you forever and ever, forever and ever, Amen!

 

They say that time takes it's toll on a body

Makes a young girl's brown hair turn gray

But, honey, I don't care, I ain't in love with your hair

And if it all fell out, well, I'd love you anyway

 

They say time can play tricks on a memory

Make people forget things they knew

Well, it's easy to see, it's happenin' to me

I've already forgotten every woman but you

 

Oh, darlin'! I'm gonna love you forever, forever and ever, Amen!

As long as old men sit n' talk about the weather

As long as old women sit n' talk about old men

If you wonder how long I'll be faithful

Well, just listen to how this song ends

I'm gonna love you forever and ever, forever and ever, Amen!

 

I'm gonna love you forever and ever, forever and ever

Forever and ever, forever and ever, Amen!

 

Always my hero, my love and the closest man that I have ever had to a brother and a protector...my love always for you Billy.

For this week only...I might show up my BFF by posting originals.

 

The passion that flows

The love that endures

The heart that knows

There is no cure

For a love that burns out in flames

 

My skin still burns

From your touch

My mind still

Glimpsing pictures of us

Our hearts just playing a game

 

The way you touch my soul

Make me feel whole

Those pieces of us that break

It’s what makes my heart ache

 

(Chorus)

The part of us that will never be

The part that escapes me

The part I will never have

Never keep my hands on that

Which escapes me

 

Words can barely describe that which

Could have been

The nothings that passed us by

The love that will never be

What will always be lost

Due to small simple things that never mattered

 

Invisible, you touch me

But see nothing

Where did I exist or did I ever

To your heart, your life

Was it never?

 

(Chorus)

The part of us that will never be

The part that escapes me

The part I will never have

Never keep my hands on that

Which escapes me

 

(Bridge)

I see you – walking to me – down that sidewalk

Later wrapped in your arms that I will never know again

Knowing we both need to move on

For that moment in time – you were my world.

 

(Chorus)

The part of us that will never be

The part that escapes me

The part I will never have

Never keep my hands on that

Which escapes me

 

That which escapes me

Will always escape me.

Silver Springs- Fleetwood Mac

 

You could be my silver spring

Blue-green colors flashing

I would be your only dream

Your shining over ocean crashing

 

Don't say that she's pretty

And did you say that she loved you

Baby I don't want to know

 

So I begin not to love you

Turn 'round, see me running

I say I loved you years ago

But tell myself you never loved me no

 

And don't say that she's pretty

And did you say that she loved you

Baby I don't want to know

 

Oh no

 

And can you tell me was it worth it

Baby I don't want to know

 

Time cast a spell on you

But you won't forget me

I know I could have loved you

But you would not let me

 

Time cast a spell on you

But you won't forget me

I know I could have loved you

But you would not let me

 

I follow you down 'till the sound

Of my voice will haunt you

(Give me just a chance)

You'll never get away from the sound

Of the woman who loves you

(Was I just a fool)

 

I follow you down 'till the sound

Of my voice will haunt you

(Give me just a chance)

You'll never get away from the sound

Of the woman who loves you

(Was I just a fool)

Today is May 13....in 2 days, my best friend Billy would have been 45 but he was taken from me 10 years ago this upcoming June. Since I started this thread, and I do realize it's a popular thread when it hits the top of the boards....I will be posting these lyrics to keep them at the top of the songs thread in respect of my darling Billy until after his birthday has passed....he deserves that respect.

 

You may think that I'm talkin' foolish

You've heard that I'm wild and I'm free

You may wonder how, I can promise you now

This love that I feel for you always will be

 

But you're not just time that I'm killin'

I'm no longer one of those guys

As sure as I live, this love that I give

Is gonna be yours until the day that I die

 

Oh, baby! I'm gonna love you forever, forever and ever, Amen!

As long as old men sit n' talk about the weather

As long as old women sit n' talk about old men

If you wonder how long I'll be faithful

I'll be happy to tell you again

I'm gonna love you forever and ever, forever and ever, Amen!

 

They say that time takes it's toll on a body

Makes a young girl's brown hair turn gray

But, honey, I don't care, I ain't in love with your hair

And if it all fell out, well, I'd love you anyway

 

They say time can play tricks on a memory

Make people forget things they knew

Well, it's easy to see, it's happenin' to me

I've already forgotten every woman but you

 

Oh, darlin'! I'm gonna love you forever, forever and ever, Amen!

As long as old men sit n' talk about the weather

As long as old women sit n' talk about old men

If you wonder how long I'll be faithful

Well, just listen to how this song ends

I'm gonna love you forever and ever, forever and ever, Amen!

 

I'm gonna love you forever and ever, forever and ever

Forever and ever, forever and ever, Amen!

 

Always my hero, my love and the closest man that I have ever had to a brother and a protector...my love always for you Billy.

Living for the Night By George Straite.

 

This song talks to me like no other...Its like he's in my head...

 

Verse 1:

Every day's a lifetime without you

Hard to get through since you've gone

So I do the only thing I know how to

To get by... I'm living for the night

 

Verse 2:

I've drawn all the curtains in this old house

To keep the sun out and off my face

Friends stop by to check in because I've checked out

I tell them I'm fine... I'm just living for the night

 

Chorus:

Daylight can't hide the tears I cry

The pain that came with your goodbye

The memories that keep me out of sight

Every night I venture out into those neon arms

That hold me tight

I'm living for the night

 

Verse 3:

I'm a whole lot easier to talk to

When I've had a few, I settle down

The whiskey kills the man you've turned me into

And I come alive... I'm living for the night

 

Chorus

 

I'm living for the night

[trippi1432]

Not his birthday yet, but it's getting close, and I do promise that I will stop posting this song after the 15th, but until then...Billy goes to the top, for being there for me, for that quiet comfort he knew I needed, by knowing that being a best friend and loving someone was simply sitting there in an old porch-swing and never having to say a thing, just give quiet comfort. Even in death, you are still the center of my world!

 

 

You may think that I'm talkin' foolish

You've heard that I'm wild and I'm free

You may wonder how, I can promise you now

This love that I feel for you always will be

 

But you're not just time that I'm killin'

I'm no longer one of those guys

As sure as I live, this love that I give

Is gonna be yours until the day that I die

 

Oh, baby! I'm gonna love you forever, forever and ever, Amen!

As long as old men sit n' talk about the weather

As long as old women sit n' talk about old men

If you wonder how long I'll be faithful

I'll be happy to tell you again

I'm gonna love you forever and ever, forever and ever, Amen!

 

They say that time takes it's toll on a body

Oh, darlin'! I'm gonna love you forever, forever and ever, Amen!

I'm gonna love you forever and ever, forever and ever

Forever and ever, forever and ever, Amen!
