It's a little bit funny this feeling inside
I'm not one of those who can easily hide
I don't have much money but boy if I did
I'd buy a big house where we both could live
If I was a sculptor, but then again, no
Or a man who makes potions in a travelling show
I know it's not much but it's the best I can do
My gift is my song and this one's for you
And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that
You fill up my senses
Like a night in the forest
Like the mountains in springtime
Like a walk in the rain
Like a storm in the desert
Like a sleepy blue ocean
You fill up my senses
Come fill me again
Come let me love you
Let me give my life to you
Let me drown in your laughter
Let me die in your arms
Let me lay down beside you
Let me always be with you
Come let me love you
Come love me again
Let me give my life to you
Come let me love you
Come love me again
You fill up my sense
Remember the time walking by the shore
you and me together
Watching the waves hand in hand
you turned to me and said that you loved me
Nothing in the world could keep us apart
we lived day to day
rebels in the sand we felt in our hearts that one day
we would be married
Remeber the time you and me
had our picture taken
down at the old amusement park
and i turned to you and said that i loved you
Nothing in the world could keep us apart
we lived day to day
rebels in the sand we felt i
Harry Chapin
My child arrived just the other day
He came to the world in the usual way
But there were planes to catch and bills to pay
He learned to walk while I was away
And he was talkin' 'fore I knew it, and as he grew
He'd say "I'm gonna be like you dad
You know I'm gonna be like you"
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man on the moon
When you comin' home dad?
I don't know when, but we'll get together then son
You know we'll have a good time
Harry Chapin
It was raining hard in 'Frisco,
I needed one more fare to make my night.
A lady up ahead waved to flag me down,
She got in at the light.
Oh, where you going to, my lady blue,
It's a shame you ruined your gown in the rain.
She just looked out the window, and said
"Sixteen Parkside Lane".
Something about her was familiar
I could swear I'd seen her face before,
But she said, "I'm sure you're mistaken"
And she didn't say anything more.
It took a while, but she looked in the
Tangled up in blue by Bob Dylan
Early one mornin' the sun was shinin',
I was layin' in bed
Wond'rin' if she'd changed at all
If her hair was still red.
Her folks they said our lives together
Sure was gonna be rough
They never did like Mama's homemade dress
Papa's bankbook wasn't big enough.
And I was standin' on the side of the road
Rain fallin' on my shoes
Heading out for the East Coast
Lord knows I've paid some dues gettin' through,
Tangled up in blue.
She was married when we fir
Wake Up Everybody
Harold Melvin
Wake up everybody no more sleepin in bed
No more backward thinkin time for thinkin ahead
The world has changed so very much
From what it used to be so
there is so much hatred war an' poverty
Wake up all the teachers time to teach a new way
Maybe then they'll listen to whatcha have to say
Cause they're the ones who's coming up and the world is in their hands
when you teach the children teach em the very best you can.
Chorus
The world won't get no better
Bridge Over Troubled Water (4:55)
P. Simon, 1969
When you're weary, feeling small
When tears are in your eyes,
I will dry them all
I'm on your side
When times get rough
And friends just can't be found
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
When you're down and out
When you're on the street
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you
I'll take your part
When darkness comes
And pain is all aro
Wild Horses
(M. Jagger/K. Richards)
Childhood living is easy to do
The things you wanted I bought them for you
Graceless lady you know who I am
You know I can't let you slide through my hands
Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses, couldn't drag me away
I watched you suffer a dull aching pain
Now you decided to show me the same
No sweeping exits or offstage lines
Could make me feel bitter or treat you unkind
Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horse
Stairway To Heaven
(Page/Plant)
There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to heaven.
When she gets there she knows, if the stores are all closed
With a word she can get what she came for.
Ooh, ooh, and she's buying a stairway to heaven.
There's a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure
'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings.
In a tree by the brook, there's a songbird who sings,
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven.
Ooh
We skipped the light fandango
turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
I was feeling kinda seasick
but the crowd called out for more
The room was humming harder
as the ceiling flew away
When we called out for another drink
the waiter brought a tray
And so it was that later
as the miller told his tale
that her face, at first just ghostly,
turned a whiter shade of pale
She said, 'There is no reason
and the truth is plain to see.'
But I wandered through my playing cards
and w
What a wonderful world.
I see trees of green, red roses too.
I see them bloom for me and you and I think to myself, what a wonderful world.
I see skies of blue and clouds of white.
The bright blessed day the dark sacred night and I think to myself, what a wonderful world.
The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky are also on the faces of people going by.
I see friends shaking hands saying how do you do, they're really saying I love you.
I hear babies cry.
I watch them grow, they'll
After mulling around for quite sometime, i finally booked my trip to Thailand. Hopefully, i can get to meet and share some coffee with alot of the TF'ers.
Well I figured i'd give a quick update on my eating habits because I know how concerned many TF'ers are. I hope it is not giving them lack of sleep!! Anyway, I have cut down quite a bit of the junk food as I knew I would. I will be the "in shape guy" that I always was, very soon. Kitty (God bless her soul), offered to teach me one Thai word per one kg of weight that I loose. Thank you Kitty, but what the heck is a kg? Am I being tricked? The only hardship that I have is Atomicflower always offer
Is it what you say, or how you say it?
From a poem called "I am me because of you."
A while ago, I had yet another unfortunate oppertunity to try and comfort somebody who lost a loved one. Man, do I hate it when i see people hurting from this kind of pain. For me, it goes beyond the tears and sorrow and sadness that someone must endure during this very trying time. It involves who we are as a person. A very dear person in my life had passed away a while back and of course I was affected terrib
Ok, i admit it, i love chocolate cake. There, i said it. Is it normal to eat half of a chocolate in one sitting? Last night i did just that! That's bad enough, but there's more. I had half a chocolate cake, one bag of onion and garlic chips, blueberry waffles, 8 small candies and some other stuff. I'm going to cut down because this is rediculous. I know Kitty will fall out of her chair if she reads this (hopefully not!), but i will curb this nonesence. I will do soooo much better from now on. I
So a real good friend of mine makes a big mistake. Everyone seems to hate the guy now and won't talk to him. I have to admit that the mistake (i won't say what it was) was pretty bad, so i understood why they felt this way. Anyway, i'm hanging out in the middle of nowhere by myself when this friend suddenly appears. He sees me and starts walking away from me. I called his name and he turned around, paused and then walked over to me. I asked him where he was going and he told me that he was going
What is going on with me lately? I've been eating alot of junk food. Ice cream, chocolates (all),stuff for the microwave and of course, tons of potatoe chips. Oh man, they make all different kinds of tastes now!!!! Luckily, I don't eat as many chips as Atomicflower, but still. I mean what's going on here? Ok enough of this, I need a donut.
Here in the states it's quickly becoming the silly season. I try to feel thankful more then usual if i can, but not this time. I probably won't be writing you journal for a little while because if i don't have upbeat things to say, i don't say much. For some reason, the losses I've had with family and friends is a bit too much for me lately, but i will try very hard to realize the blessings that i and others have. I will try because it's worth it.
I'm super happy that the glich which didn't allow me to access the forum is gone! I think i'll learn a lesson here. There's that saying "you don't know what you have until it's gone." Let me not forget to enjoy those around me today because tomorrow they might be gone. Let me love those that I need to love. Let me respect everyone so that I may get it back as well. Let me be there when a friend or loved one needs comfort and support. I may not get that chance tomorrow! Yeah, I think i'll learn a
Ah laughter brings a funny sound
it catches on to those around,
and pushes problems far away
it's in a place i want to stay.
I love to laugh. I mean that kind of laugh that makes your stomach hurt and makes it hard to breath. Usually, laughs like this come about when something happens unexpectedly on the spur of the moment. You become overwhelmed at that very second and have no choice but to let loose and enjoy. I love to laugh, what about you?
I've always loved that song. I heard it again the other day and started thinking. There's alot of love songs that promise undying love for a special person and many people dedicate special songs to the one they love. Yet, there are way too many beak-ups around the world. People it seems really want what they find in love songs for themselves, but sadly, I don't believe that too many find it. Maybe we should write alot more love songs?
It's raining pretty bad today. Some people don't like when it rains, but I like it-not all the time of course! I walk in the rain-it feels nice.
Just sitting near the window listening to the raindrops and getting lost in thought. I can go where ever i choose in my mind and not get wet. Yes, it's raining outside and I'm kinda happy about it.
Today I want to love myself more. I want to be able to do this because...well, I can love someone else better if I have love for myself. I want her to see love in my eyes when she looks at me and to realize that it's for her. I want her to feel, not just hear, when I say "I love you." If I love myself more, I'll have more to give. There's always more that I can give. Yes, this is a good plan I think: every day I'll love myself more so I'll have more to give, I like it.
You know, sometimes i say to myself "how important are these things i'm worrying about?" I think that if I focus on the little things in life that make me happy, then there won't be too much room for the worries. There are those who have the nicest cars and houses and have millions in the bank, but I fed a stray, hungry dog today-I wonder who is really richer.
