Wonderfully Simple

Am I Anything?
 
Why is it that I don't get through to her? Sometimes I just can't help but wonder. Sometimes this question isn't even relevant. Which prompts me to wonder all the more. Who am I in her eyes?
 
Invisible Man - 98 Degrees
You can hardly wait to tell all your friends
How his kisses taste sweet like wine
And how he always makes your heart skip a beat
Everytime he walks by

And if your feelin down
He'll pick you up
He'll hold you close when your makin' love
He's everything you've been dreamin' of
Oh baby

Chorus:
I wish you'd look at me that way
Your beautiful eyes lookin' deep into mine
Tellin' me more
Than any words could say
But you don't even know I'm alive
Baby to you all I am
Is the invisible man

You don't see me baby

You probly spend hours on the phone
Talkin bout nothin' at all
It doesn't matter what the conversation
Just as long as he calls

Lost in a love so real
And so sincere
And you'll wipe away
Each others tears
Your face lights up whenever he appears

Chorus

I see you all the time baby
Huh, the way you look at him
I wish it was me sweetheart
Boy I wish it was me
But I guess it never will be

Chorus twice

Oh oh oh
oh baby
The invisible man
You don't see me girl
But I love you
Yes I love you
The invisible man
Oh oh oh
Ya ya
The invisible man
Baby, baby, baby

Tears In Heaven - Eric Clapton

Would you know my name if I saw you in heaven?
Would it be the same if I saw you in heaven?
I must be strong and carry on,
'Cause I know I don't belong here in heaven.

Would you hold my hand if I saw you in heaven?
Would you help me stand if I saw you in heaven?
I'll find my way through night and day,
'Cause I know I just can't stay here in heaven.

Time can bring you down; time can bend your knees.
Time can break your heart, have you begging please, begging please...

Beyond the door there's peace I'm sure.
And I know there'll be no more tears in heaven.

Would you know my name if I saw you in heaven?
Would it be the same if I saw you in heaven?
I must be strong and carry on,
'Cause I know I don't belong here in heaven.
'Cause I know I don't belong,here in heaven.

Should I?
Or should I not?
A question,
So simple,
So inconspicuous,
Yet evoking the deepest of thoughts,
The worst of dilemmas,
The fear of regret.
And as I take my next move,
I hope I'm not going to let anyone down,
Including myself.

Moment's Peace

I've somehow managed to muddle my way back to the dividing line; the tight wire that symbolises the zone of neutrality. And I'm feeling kind of comfortable here, after so much, for so long. Well, not quite, but nonetheless this equilibrium is rare, and cherished. A respite before I decide to upset the balance.

Well anyway I've got back my mid year results...

Disappointing.

Not an A, and to add insult to injury... 2 Bs which are just oustide the grasp of an A grade. Argh. F Maths was pretty screwy though. That I can't blame.

I guess it's high time I start to thaw my frozen engine. Been slacking for too long now. Been distracted for too long now. Time to make use of my time.

Love, Me - Collin Raye
I read a note my grandma wrote
Back in 1923
Grandpa kept it in his coat
And he showed it once to me
He said boy you might not understand
But a long long time ago
Grandma's daddy didn't like me none
But I loved your grandma so

We had this crazy plan to meet
And run away together
Get married in the first town we came to
And live forever
But nailed to the tree where we were
Supposed to meet instead
I found this letter and this is what it said

If you get there before I do
Don't give up on me
I'll meet you when my chores are through
I don't know how long I'll be
But I'm not gonna let you down
Darling wait and see
And between now and then
Till I see you again
I'll be loving you
Love, me

I read those words just hours before
My grandma passed away
In the doorway of the church
When me and grandpa
stopped to pray
I know I'd never seen him cry
All my 15 years
But as he said these words to her
His eyes filled up with tears

If you get there before I do
Don't give up on me
I'll meet you when my chores are through
I don't know how long I'll be
But I'm not gonna let you down
Darling wait and see
And between now and then
Till I see you again
I'll be loving you
Love, me

Between now and then till I see you again
I'll be loving you
Love, me

A Change Of Plans...?


Yawn. Sigh. Grumble. Dilemma.

Dance With My Father - Luther Vandross
Back when I was a child
Before life removed all the innocence
My father would lift me high
And dance with my mother and me and then
Spin me around 'till I fell asleep
Then up the stairs he would carry me
And I knew for sure, I was loved

If I could get another chance, another walk, another dance with him
I'd play a song the would never, ever end
How I'd love, love, love, to dance with my father, again

Oooooh

When I and my mother would disagree
To get my way I would run from her to him
He'd make me laugh just to comfort me
Yeah yeah, then finally make me do just what my mama said
Later that night when I was asleep
He left a dollar under my sheet
Never dreamed that he, would be gone from me

If I could steal, one final glance, one final step, one final dance with him
I'd play a song that would never, ever end
'Cause I'd love, love, love, to dance with my father, again

Sometimes I’d listen outside her door
And I’d hear my mother would cry for him
I prayed for her even more than me
I prayed for her even more than me

I know I’m praying for much too much
But could you send the only man she loved
I know you don’t do it usually
But dear lord she’s dying to dance with my father again

Every night I fall asleep
And this is all I ever dream
