"There was a secret chord that David played"

I did my best, it wasn't much
I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch
I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you
And even though
It all went wrong
I'll stand before the Lord of Song
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah *

Never stuck

Answer To Yourself
By The Soft Pack

You gotta answer to yourself
You can't depend on anyone else
You gotta know where you stand
And what's in your hands
Yeah you gotta answer to yourself

You gotta write down what you know
You gotta make sure that it's known
Because they're coming along to see what you've done
And they're gonna claim it for their own

You got a rabbit in your hat
You got a few tricks up your sleeve
Don't get stuck in a rut
Or stuck in the same
You got exactly what you need

You got a talent don't you know?
You're more talented than you know
And you give it a shot
And give it the time
And be surprised how far it goes

But I think I'm gonna die
Before I see my time
But I think I'm gonna die
Try it anyway

You gotta answer to yourself
2 days a week outside yourself
You take an hour a day, an hour a day
And you don't respond to anyone else

You got a few things on your shelf
You got to look through for yourself
You gotta choose what to read
Choose what to believe
And you don't take it from anyone else

But I think I'm gonna die
Before I see my time
But I think I'm gonna die
Try it anyway

Anticipation

Are we all just sitting here waiting on the end?
Like it's only natural
It's only natural
Are we filling spaces till we find ourselves again?
Like it's only natural
It's only natural

This is not the way we wanted this to be
And I can feel your doubt inside of me
We're standing on the edge of everything we've ever seen
And everything we'll never get to be

And when you think it's over
It starts coming 'round again
It's coming 'round again
And when you think it's figured out
It starts coming 'round again
It's coming 'round again
It's coming 'round again *

Craving clarity

Now You're Gone
by Floetry

Laundered linen sheets
Touch me with their coldness
And thoughts I can’t repeat
Shock me with their boldness
Why did my mind and body believe,
That you would never leave them?
Now there’s parts of me that blame,
Or well they force me to deceive them
So come back and relieve them

Who would steal you?
I still feel you
Now you’re gone
These are lies
They’re not real
This is more than I can feel
This is wrong

A bath so hot it almost scolds
And I let the warm surround me
I slide down
Till only my face shows
But I feel colder now
Than before you found me
When you used to pin me down
The clarity in your intent
But if your mind was somewhere else
I can better anything you can invent
I thought you understood how much you meant

Who would steal you?
I still feel you
Now you’re gone
And these are lies
It’s not real
This is more than I can feel
It’s all wrong
Now you’re gone
I work hard to carry on
If you could’ve seen
How I’ve been
Then you’d know how much you meant

Who would steal you
I feel you
Now you’re gone
Now you’re gone
Now you’re gone
Gone
Gone
Gone
Don’t you know how much you meant?

Who would steal you?
I still feel you
Now you’re gone
These are lies
They’re not real
This is more than I can feel
This is wrong

Love remembers your energy

Cause love remembers
The smell of a summer day
Lying in a hammock over fresh cut grass
And the promise of forever
Yeah love remembers
The sound of the pouring rain
Beatin' down on the top of a car
On the side of the road
Where it couldn't wait
Yeah love remembers

...

The taste of cotton candy lip gloss
On the lips of a long kiss
And the plans they made together
Yeah love remembers
To feel the fingertips
Running through soakin' wet hair
On the bank after a midnight swim
Yeah love remembers *

Love remembers by Craig Morgan

When a name defines an era

A soul mate once said to me, "If someone were to look around in my mind trying to find what memories and images are attached to what parts of my life, I really don't know where you would not be. You even backdate because of all the past experiences pre-dating you that obtained new meanings due to you."

I tell everyone
I smile just because
I've got a city love
I found it in Lydia
And I can't remember life before her name *

* City Love by John Mayer

Bubbly...on the inside :)

It starts in my soul
And I lose all control
When you kiss my nose
The feelin' shows
Cause you make me smile
Baby just take your time now
Holdin' me tight *

--
* Bubbly by Colbie Caillat

In like

True baby, true
I'm in like with you
But don't ask me if I love you
Cause I wouldn't want to lie to you

Please baby, please
Look, I'm on my knees
Don't ask me
You know the answer better than I do...

I can't love you
In the way you want me to
My heart and mind
Collide
Inside *

Life unscripted

Well I'll never forget the first time that I heard
That pretty mouth say that dirty word
And I can't even remember now what she backed my truck into
But she covered her mouth and her face got red
And she just looked so darn cute
That I couldn't even act like I was mad
Yeah I live for little moments like that

...

When she's layin' on my shoulder on the sofa in the dark
And about the time she falls asleep so does my right arm
And I want so bad to move it 'cause it's tinglin' and it's numb
But she looks so much like an angel that I don't wanna wake her up
Yeah I live for little moments
When she steals my heart again and doesn't even know it
Yeah I live for little moments like that *

Besitos

Bésame los ojos, aun dormida en la mañana
Bésame la piel con el caudal de tu estreches,
Con agua bendita de tu fuente, bésame toda la frente
Que me bautiza y me bendice esa manera de besar.

* Bésame by Ricardo Montaner & Pasion Vega

I don't like to lose

If you treat me fairly
I'll give you all my goods
Treat you like a real woman should
Baby, I know you're worth it
If you never play me
Promise not to bluff
I'll hold you down when shit gets rough
'Cause baby, I know you're worth it

She rolls the mile; makes you smile, all the while being true
Don't take for granted the passions that she has for you
You will lose, if you choose, to refuse to put her first
She will if she can find a man who knows her worth!
OH!

'Cause a real man knows a real woman when he sees her
And a real woman knows a real man
Ain't 'fraid to please her (please me)
And a real woman knows a real man always comes first
And a real man just can't deny
A woman's worth

No need to read between the lines
Spell it out for you
Just hear this song
'Cause you can't go wrong when you value
A woman's, woman's, woman's, woman's Worth!

Now holding auditions ;)

I wanna stand out in a crowd for you
A man among men
I wanna make your world better than it's ever been

And I'm gonna love you
like nobody loves you
And I'll earn your trust making memories of us *

* Making Memories of Us by Keith Urban

He blessed me to be this way

When I'm breaking down and I can't be found
As I start to get weak
'Cause no one knows me underneath these clothes
But I can fly, we can fly, oh

'Cause I am a Superwoman
Yes I am (yes she is)
Even when I'm a mess, I still put on a vest
With an S on my chest
Oh yes, I'm a Superwoman (yes she is) *

I like unlikely stories

Austin *
By Blake Shelton

She left without leavin' a number
Said she needed to clear her mind
He figured she'd gone back to Austin
'Cause she talked about it all the time
It was almost a year before she called him up
Three rings and an answering machine is what she got

If you're callin' 'bout the car I sold it
If this is Tuesday night I'm bowling
If you've got somethin' to sell, you're wastin' your time, I'm not buyin'
If it's anybody else, wait for the tone,
You know what to do
And P.S. if this is Austin, I still love you

The telephone fell to the counter
She heard but she couldn't believe
What kind of man would hang on that long
What kind of love that must be
She waited three days, and then she tried again
She didn't know what she'd say,
But she heard three rings and then

If it's Friday night I'm at the ballgame
And first thing Saturday, if it don't rain
I'm headed out to the lake
And I'll be gone, all weekend long
But I'll call you back when I get home
On Sunday afternoon
And P.S. If this is Austin, I still love you

Well, this time she left her number
But not another word
Then she waited by the phone on Sunday evenin'
And this is what he heard

If you're callin' 'bout my heart
It's still yours
I should've listened to it a little more
Then it wouldn't have taken me so long to know where I belong
And by the way, boy, this is no machine you're talkin' to
Can't you tell, this is Austin, and I still love you

I still love you

That's one way to do it

Say when you're alone
It's better 'cause nobody knows you
When no one's your friend
It's better 'cause nobody leaves you
So you turned your back
On a world that you could never have
'Cause your heart's been cracked
And everyone else's is goin' mad

But I hear voices
And I see colors
But I wish I felt nothing
Then it might be easy for me
Like it is for you *

--
* I Wish I Felt Nothing by The Wallflowers

The irony...

There's a pain that sleeps inside
It sleeps with just one eye
And awakens the moment that you leave
Though I try to look away
The pain it still remains
Only leaving when you're next to me

Do you know, that every time you're near
Everybody else seems far away
So can you come and make them disappear
Make them disappear and we can stay

So I stand and look around
Distracted by the sounds
Of everyone and everything I see
And I search through every face
Without a single trace, of the person
The person that I need *

* Disappear by Hoobastank

Non mi piace stare senza di te

Si vedranno le colline,
Io continuerò a cercare te.

Via da questa malinconia,
Invidia o rabbia che sia.
Qui nel mio cuore
Non voglio più queste parole.

Tu dove sei? Il tuo sorriso dov'è?
Senza di te, senza il tuo amore
Che sarà di me?*

--
* Alla Luce Del Sole by Josh Groban

Not so wonderful right now

Sometimes I feel so full of love
It just comes spilling out
It's uncomfortable to see
I give it away so easily
But if I had someone I would do anything
I'd never, never, ever let you feel alone
I won't I won't leave you, on your own

But who am I to dream?
Dreams are for fools, they let you down...

And I know that it's a wonderful world
But I can't feel it right now
Well I thought that I was doing well
But I just want to cry now
Well I know that it's a wonderful world
From the sky down to the sea
But I can only see it when you're here, here with me *

--
* Wonderful World by James Morrison

Cuz some of us don't cry

I light a candle, watch it burn
I feel the angels come and fill this room
Oh, when you're gone I miss you so much
I do the only thing I can do
I pray for you
I pray for you

Every minute of the day
I can clearly see your face
And every minute we're apart
Oh, you know it just breaks my heart
I'm so lonely, but I'm OK
'Cause I know we'll be together again *

--
* I Pray for You by Big & Rich

I pray you get there ok. I pray you come back soon. I pray and pray and pray...

Don't pass me by, don't make me cry, don't make me blue
'Cause you know darling I love only you
You'll never know it hurt me so
How I hate to see you go
Don't pass me by don't make me cry*

--
*Don't Pass Me By by The Beatles

I had no idea...'til it was too late

For the way you changed my plans
For being the perfect distraction
For the way you took the idea that I have
Of everything that I wanted to have
And made me see there was something missing (oh yeah)
For the ending of my first begin
(ooh yeah yeah)(ooh yeah yeah)
And for the rare and unexpected friend
(ooh yeah yeah)(ooh yeah yeah)
For the way you're something that I never choose
But at the same time something I don't wanna lose
And never wanna be without ever again (oh oh)

You're the best thing I never knew I needed
So when you were here I had no idea
You're the best thing I never knew I needed
So now it's so clear I need you here always*

My Redeemer Lives*
Nicole C. Mullins

Who taught the sun where to stand in the morning?
And who told the ocean you can only come this far?
And who showed the moon where to hide till evening?
Whose words alone can catch a falling star?

Well I know my Redeemer lives
I know my Redeemer lives
All of creation testifies
This life within me cries
I know my Redeemer lives

Ye-e-eah

The very same God
That spins things in orbit
Runs to the weary, the worn and the weak
And the same gentle hands that hold me when I'm broken
They conquered death to bring me victory

Now I know, my Redeemer lives
I know my Redeemer lives
Let all creation testify
Let this life within me cry
I-I-I know
My Redeemer

He lives
To take away my shame
And He lives
Forever I'll proclaim
That the payment for my sins
Was the precious life He gave
And now He's alive and
There's an empty
Grave!

And I know
My Redeemer lives
He lives
I know
My Redeemer lives
Let all creation testify
Let this life within me cry
I-I-I know my Redeemer

I know
My Redeemer lives
I know my Redeemer lives

I know, That I know, that I know, that I know, that I know
He lives (my Redeemer lives)
Because He lives I can face tomorrow
He lives (I know, I know)
He lives (I spoke with Him this morning!)
He lives (The tomb is empty)
He lives (He Lives! I'm going to tell everybody!!)
