My Singin' Legs

Today, I say good-bye to my dear friend, Ryan.  He was killed in a car accident on December 2nd.  We grew up together; I've known him and his family for 25 years.  He and his brothers were brothers to my sister and I since we met.  I will always remember Ryan with a smile on his face because he was always smiling.  My heart aches for his family and their loss.  We are all suffering, but we do know one thing: We WILL see Ryan again one day!  I miss you buddy! I can't be Losing sleep over this No I can't And now I cannot stop pacing Give me a few hours I'll have this all sorted out If my mind would just stop racing Cause I cannot stand still I can't be this unsturdy This cannot be happening This is over my head But underneath my feet Cause by tomorrow morning I'll have this thing beat And everything will be back to the way that it was I wish that it was just that easy Cause I'm waiting for tonight Then waiting for tomorrow And I'm so...

Today is a musical kind of day for me.  Obviously, just look at my posts for today alone.  This song is for Chris.  ;) Been up all night Staring at you Wondering what's on your mind I've been this way With so many before But this feels like the first time You want the sunrise To go back to bed I want to make you laugh Mess up my bed with me Kick off the covers I'm waiting Every word you say I think I should write down I don't want to forget Come daylight Happy to lay here Just happy to be here I'm happy to know you Play me a song Your newest one Please leave your taste on my tongue Paperweight on my back Cover me like a blanket Mess up my bed with me Kick off the covers I'm waiting Every word you say I think I should write down I don't to forget Come daylight And no need to worry That's wastin time And no need to wonder What's been on my mind It's you It's you Every word you say I think I should write...

James Morrison is incredible and this is one of my favorite songs of his. *insert girly girly moment*  I hope one day this song will describe me and the man that I love.  *girly girly moment over* There was a time I had nothing to give I needed shelter from the storm I was in And when it all got too heavy You carried my weight And I want to hold you And I want to say That you are all that I need For you, I give my soul to keep You see me, love me Just the way I am For you I am a better man I said you are the reason For everything that I do I'd be lost, so lost, without you Under the stars At the edge of the sea There's no one around No one but you and me We'd talk for hours As time drifts away I could stay here for ever And hold you this way

I'm loving on this song!  Big time loving on it!  I love Ron's voice and his lyrics are powerful.  I just had to share... more so share with my future self, but share nonetheless. A drop in the ocean, A change in the weather, I was praying that you and me might end up together. It's like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert, But I'm holding you closer than most, 'Cause you are my heaven. I don't wanna waste the weekend, If you don't love me, pretend A few more hours, then it's time to go. And as my train rolls down the East coast, I wonder how you keep warm. It's too late to cry, too broken to move on. Still I can't let you be, Most nights I hardly sleep. Don't see what you don't need, from me. Just a drop in the ocean, A change in the weather, I was praying that you and me might end up together. It's like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert, But I'm holding you closer than most, 'Cause ...

This song made me smile when I heard it.  I looked up the lyrics and it was a little perfect.  You may know why it made me smile... you may not.  Just know, it was a good smile.  The kind the starts in the eyes, travels through your cheeks and slowly draws up the corners of your mouth as if in slow motion.  Then you realize your smile is so big your eyes close and happiness travels down your body like a current.  Those are the good smiles.  The ones you want.  The ones you truly deserve. Kiss Me Slowly Stay with me, baby stay with me Tonight, don't leave me alone Walk with me Come and walk with me To the edge of all we've ever known I can see you there with the city lights Fourteenth floor pale blue eyes I can breathe you in Two shadows standing by the bedroom door No, I could not want you more Then I did right then As our heads leaned in well I'm not sure what this going to be But with my eyes closed a...

So you all know about how music affects me and when one speaks to me, I have to write it down or share it.  I came across this song while listening to Joshua Radin Pandora and just about fell out of my chair.  It's rich, soulful, and sexy.  It put a smile on my face; maybe it will yours too. Baby take off your coat And I’ll loosen my tie You are far too beautiful For us to turn off the lights Your December skin And a trail of our clothes You can keep your socks on If your feet are cold But I don’t want to have to ask permission Give me a chance It won’t be perfect, just an unbroken promise from An imperfect man Your red wine tongue My sudden loss of breath You like the sound of my heartbeat When you lay your head on my chest But I don’t want to have to ask permission Give me a chance It won’t be perfect, just an unbroken promise from An imperfect man So draw all the curtains, all the goodbyes are gone Love found through love gone wrong An ...
