This song reminds me of our recovery process:
--------------------------------------------
Grateful & Thankful
Francis Dunnery

If we're grateful and we're thankful then we're spiritual
If we're hiding we're denying all the love inside
So don't let your spirit die
Lay down your arms and we'll walk together into the light

I cannot find the words to be all forgiving
It's gonna take some time
Cos the old disease it got a hold of me
And I need to apologize
And it's a myth to say we block things out
when we really block them in
Oh I'm so sorry baby
But I'm doing everything I can

If we're grateful and we're thankful then we're spiritual
If we're hiding we're denying all the love inside
So don't let your spirit die
Lay down your arms and we'll walk together into the light

I cannot get to sleep cos I feel so angry
It's gonna take a while
Cos the old disease put a resentment in me
And the inability to smile
And it's a joke to think I'm hurting you
Cos I'm only hurting me
And I've been beating myself for so long now
that it comes so naturally

Love is the only thing that can set a soul free
Fighting everybody don't do anything for me
Love is the only thing
I need it, I feel it, I hope that we're gonna be
grateful for each other

I feel grateful, I feel thankful, I feel spiritual
I'm not hiding or denying all my love for you
It's the feeling of being alive
Take hold my heart
And we'll walk together into the light

A Good Plan A

Love is gentle as a rose
And love can conquer any war
It's time to take a stand
Brothers and sisters join hands

We got to let love rule
Let love rule

We got to let love rule
Let love rule

Love transcends all space and time
And love can make a little child smile
Can't you see this won't go wrong
But we got to be strong
We can't do it alone

We got to let love rule
Let love rule

We got to let love rule
Let love rule



Lenny Kravitz

HUSH by Waterdeep:

When you feel like the days just drone on and on and on
and you feel like the nights are quickly gone

and on the inside your heart is gaping wide
and on the inside you feel like no one's on your side
well, I am

When you thought you could rest, but you found out you were wrong
And there's another need another battle
another one more thing that comes along

and on the inside
you hear the fall but you hate the falling sound
and on the inside
you can't pick another broken piece up off the ground
well I know

CHORUS

Hush little baby don't say a word
Daddy's gone and bought you a great big heaven to rest in
He's bought it with blood and put the seal in your heart
it'll give you the hope you need to get up and start again

when all the things you thought you left behind are still hanging on
and everything you try to do right ends up all wrong

and on the inside everyone else seems basically fine
but on the inside even they won't let go of the dead and cling to what's alive
well I AM

Hush little baby don't say a word
Daddy's gone and bought you a great big heaven to rest in
He's bought it with blood and put the seal in your heart
it'll give you the hope you need to get up and start again

Here are 2 that I have been listening to lately..
----------------------------------------------
Have a Heart
Bonnie Raitt

Hey!
Shut up.
Don't lie to me.
You think I'm blind but I got eyes to see
Hey!
Mister, how do you do.
Oh pardon me I thought I knew you.
Would you stand back baby 'cause I want to get a better look.
The big man who couldn't handle the little bit of love you took.

Hey, hey, have a heart, hey, have a heart.
If you don't love me, why don't you let me go?
Have a heart, please, oh don't you have a heart?
Little by little you fade while I fall apart.

Oh Oh Oh darling, I love you so.
I told you yes, and then you told me no.
Baby, how can you say
You should be free and I should pay and pay
And you talk and talk about you and what you need
But sooner or later your love is gonna make me bleed.

Hey, hey, have a heart, hey, have a heart.
If you don't love me, why don't you let me go?
Have a heart, please, oh don't you have a heart?
Little by little you fade while I fall apart.
Oh, Oh.

Talk on, talk on, but love is what you need.
And sooner or later that love is gonna make you bleed.

Hey, hey, have a heart, hey, have a heart.
If you don't love me, why don't you let me go?
Have a heart, please, oh don't you have a heart?
Little by little you fade while I fall apart.
Oh Oh have a heart
(please)
Hey Hey Have a heart
(please)
Have a heart

How Far
Martina McBride

There's a boat, I could sail away
There's the sky, I could catch a plane
There's a train, there's the tracks
I could leave and I could choose to not come back
Oh never come back

There you are, giving up the fight
Here I am begging you to try
Talk to me, let me in
But you just put your wall back up again
Oh when's it gonna end

[Chorus:]
How far do I have to go to make you understand
I wanna make this work so much it hurts, but I just can't
Keep on giving, go on living with the way things are
So I'm gonna walk away
And it's up to you to say how far

There's a chance I could change my mind
But I won't, not till you decide
What you want, what you need
Do you even care if I stay or leave
Oh, what's it gonna be

[Chorus]

Out of this chair, or just across the room
Halfway down the block or halfway to the moon

How far do I have to go to make you understand
I wanna make this work so much it hurts, but I just can't
Keep on giving, go on living with the way things are
So I'm gonna walk away
And it's up to you to say
YeahI'm gonna walk away
And it's up to you to say how far

If you don't want my love
If you don't want my love
If you don't want my love
I know who
I'll give it to
If you don't want my love
If you don't want my love
If you don't want my love
Anymore.

If you don't want the thrill
If you don't want the thrill
If you don't want the thrill
I know who
I know who will
If you don't want my love
If you don't want my love
If you don't want my love


Anymore.

If that's the way that the world goes round
Then that's the way
That it all comes down
And when you want me
I won't be around
If you don't want my love
If you don't want my love
If you don't want my love
I know who
I'll give it to
If you don't want my love
If you don't want my love
If you don't want my love
Anymore.

There's a boat, I could sail away
There's the sky, I could catch a plane
There's a train, there's the tracks

Oh, never come back

There you are, giving up the fight

And it's up to you to say how far
How far

I Miss My Friend Lyrics


I miss the look of surrender in your eyes
The way your soft brown hair would fall
I miss the power of your kiss when we made love
Oh, but baby most of all

I miss my friend
The one my heart and soul confided in
The one I felt the safest with
The one who knew just what to say to make me laugh again
And let the light back in
I miss my friend

I miss the colors that you brought into my life
Your golden smile, those blue-green eyes
I miss your gentle voice in lonely times like now
Saying it'll be alright

I miss my friend
The one my heart and soul confided in
The one I felt the safest with
The one who knew just what to say to make me laugh again
And let the light back in
I miss my friend

I miss those times
I miss those nights
I even miss our silly fights
The making up
The morning talks
And those late afternoon walks

I miss my friend
The one my heart and soul confided in
The one I felt the safest with
The one who knew just what to say to make me laugh again
let the light back in
I miss my friend

I miss my friend

I miss my friend

Mmmmmmmm

I miss my friend

From a FWW. This one won't leave me alone right now.


Heaven bent to take my hand
And lead me through the fire
Be the long awaited answer
to a long and painful fight


Truth be told I've tried my best
but somewhere along the way
I got caught up in all there was to offer
and the cost was so much more than I could bear


Chorus:

Though i've tried, I've fallen..
I have sunk so low
I have messed up
better I should know
So don't come round here
and tell me i told you so....


We all begin with good intent
Love was raw and young
We believed that we could change ourselves
The past could be undone

But we carry on our backs the burden
Time always reveals
The lonely light of morning
the wound that would not heal

it's the bitter taste of losing everything
that i have held so dear.


Chorus

Though i've tried, I've fallen..
I have sunk so low
I have messed up
better I should know
So don't come round here
and tell me i told you so....

Where oh where are you tonight?
Why did you leave me here all alone?
I searched the world over
and I thought I'd found true love,
You met another and pffft! You were gone.

GC

GC, I loved Hee Haw. Watched all the time with my Pop. Still find those songs humming in my head at times. Roy Clark could play those strings.

Emmylou Harris "And I Love You So"

And I love you so
People ask me how
How I lived till now
I tell them I don't know
I guess they understand how lonely life has been
But love began again the day you took my hand

And yes I know how lonely life can be
The shadows follow me
And the night won't set me free

But I don't let the evenings bring me down
Now that you're around... me
And you love me too
Your thoughts are just for me

You set my spirit free
I'm happy that you do
For the book of life is free
And once a page is read,
All but love is dead
This is my belief

And yes I know how lonely life can be...

Wow! Anybody listen to New Wave still?!?! Music: Finally a topic I can understand! Here's a few:


I am the son and the heir
Of a shyness that is particularly vulgar
I am the son and heir
Of nothing in particular

You shoot your mouth
How can you say
I go about the things the wrong way?

I am human and I need to be loved
Just like everyone else does.

"How Soon Is Now?" The Smiths (Hatful of Hollow)


Ever since I seen your face
This life of mine has gone to waste
I was young and you were old
And I always knew you were cold
At the start you had a heart
But in the end you lost your friend
Can you see your own dark face?
It's lying in a lonely place.

Oh, how I cannot bear the thought of you!
I said, Oh how I cannot bear the thought of you!

As we get old we lose our place
Reflecting back the world's disgrace
I feel so low I feel so humble
Sometimes in life we take a tumble
Don't let anybody tell you
That you're no good
'Cause you know they would
Don't let anybody tell you
What you should do
'Cause it's not that way.

Oh, how I cannot bear the thought of you!
I said, oh how I cannot bear the thought of you!
We were young and we were pure
And life was just an open door
I said, oh how I cannot bear the thought of you!

"Lonesome Tonight" New Order (EP)


You called me on the phone
And left me all alone
All I get from you is shell-shock.
Another day goes by
And all I do is cry
All I get from you is shell-shock.

I tell the world and save my soul.
The rain pours down and I feel cold.
A cold that sleeps within my heart
It tears the earth and sun apart.
That's the way, that I can win.
A victim of your evil sin
You've lost the hope
You had in me
By causing the changes that you'll never see.

Hold on. It's never enough.
It's never enough until your heart stops beating.
The deeper you get
The sweeter the pain
Don't care of the game
Until your heart stops beating.

When we walk through open dorrways
Counting time in one or more ways.
You can't find our peace of mind
Our life becomes a life of crime.
That's the day, I called your name
I came to you
I called in vain
You've lost the faith within your heart
The fire in your soul
From the end to the start.

"Shell-Shock" New Order (Pretty In Pink Soundtrack)


Standing in the door of the Pink Flamingo
Crying in the rain
It was a kind of so-so love
And I'm gonna make sure it never happens again.
You and I it had to be
The standing joke of the year
You were a sleep-around, a lost-and-found
And offer me, I'd fit.

I'd try to make it work:
You in a cocktail skirt
And me in a suit.
Well, it just wasn't me.
You're used to wearing less
And now your life's a mess
So insecure, you see.
I'd put up with all the scenes
Well, this is one scene that's
Going to be played my way.

Take your hands off me.
I don't belong to you.
You see?
Take, a look at my face
For the last time
I never knew you,
You never knew
Say hello, wave goodbye.

Under the deep red light
I can see the makeup sliding down.
Hey, little girl, you will always make up
So take off that unbecoming frown.
What about me?
Well, I'll find someone
Who's not going cheap in the sales
A nice little housewife
Who'll give me a steady life
And won't keep going off the rails.

Take your hands off me.
I don't belong to you.
You see?
Take, a look at my face
For the last time
I never knew you,
You never knew
Say hello, wave goodbye.

"Say Hello, Wave Goodbye" Soft Cell (The Singles)
(You know? The same guys who did Tainted Love!)

I have a ton of others. I'll spare everyone, however.

Any requests???????

**This song offered me a good cry when I needed to release some stress and I had just asked my H to leave and began Plan A**


Amanda Perez - Angel

Angel

It's been five months since you went away
Left without a word and nothing to say
When I was the one who gave you my heart and soul
But it wasn't good enough for you, no
So I asked God

God send me an angel
From the heavens above
Send me an angel to heal my broken heart
From being in love
'Cause all I do is cry
God send me an angel
To wipe the tears from my eyes

And I know it might sound crazy
But after all that I still love you
You wanna come back in my life
But now there is something I have to do
I have to tell the one that I once adored
That they can't have my love no more
Cause my heart can't take no more lies
And my eyes are all out of cries

God send me an angel
From the heavens above
Send me an angel to heal my broken heart
From being in love
'Cause all I do is cry
God send me an angel
To wipe the tears from my eyes

Now you had me on my knees
Begging God please to send you back to me
I couldn't eat, I couldn't sleep
You made me feel like I could not breathe
Now all I wanted to do was to feel your touch
And give you all my love
But you took my love for granted
Want my lovin' now
But you can't have it
God

God send me an angel
From the heavens above
Send me an angel to heal my broken heart
From being in love
'Cause all I do is cry
God send me an angel
To wipe the tears from my eyes

Oh God, send me (God send me an angel)
An angel (wipe the tears from my eyes) Oh baby
Send me an angel from the heavens above
Send me an angel (God send me an angel)
From being in love (send me an angel)
Oh God, send me an angel
Send me an angel (send me an angel)
Ooohhhh..

This song is appropriate regarding my present status:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ROSIE (by Jackson Browne & Donald Miller)

She was standing at the load-in
When the trucks rolled up
She was sniffing all around
Like a half grown female pup
She wasn't hard to talk to
Looked like she had nowhere to go
So I gave her my pass
So she could get in and see the show

Well I sat her down right next to me
And I got her a beer
While I mixed that sound on stage
So the band could hear
The more I watched her watch them play
The less I could think of to say
And when they walked off stage
The drummer swept that girl away

But Rosie you're all right -- you wear my ring
When you hold me tight -- Rosie that's my thing
When you turn out the light -- I've got to hand it to me
Looks like it's me and you again tonight Rosie

Well I guess I might have known from the start
She'd come for a star
Might have told my imagination not to run too far
Of all the times that I've been burned
By now you'd think I'd have learned
That it's who you look like
Not who you are

But Rosie you're all right -- you wear my ring
When you hold me tight -- Rosie that's my thing
When you turn out the light -- I've got to hand it to me
Looks like it's me and you again tonight Rosie

I couldn't resist:

Jimmy Mack by Martha and the Vandellas:


Jimmy, Jimmy, oh Jimmy Mack, when are you coming back?
Jimmy, Jimmy, oh Jimmy Mack, when are you coming back?
My arms are missing you, my lips feel the same way too
I tried so hard to be true, like I promised I'd do
But this boy keeps coming around, he's trying to wear my resistance down

Chorus:
Hey Jimmy, Jimmy, oh Jimmy Mack, when are you coming back
Jimmy, Jimmy, oh Jimmy Mack, when are you coming back
He calls me on the phone, about three times a day
Now my heart's just listening to what he has to say
But this loneliness that I have within keeps reaching out to be his friend

chorus
Need your loving, need your loving

(Instrumental break)
I wanna say, I'm not getting any stronger, I can't hold out very much longer
Trying hard to be true, but Jimmy, he talks just as sweet as you

chorus
Need your loving, need your loving
Need your loving, need your loving...

Pre D-Day alien spouse...

Tamra, Stranger in my House

I don't understand
You look just like the man
In the picture by our bed
The suspence is pounding and clouding up my head
I'm checkin' your clothes
And you wear the same size shoe
You sleep in his spot
And you're driving his car
But I don't know just who you are

1 - There's a stranger in my house
It took a while to figure out
There's no way you could be who you say you are
You gotta be someone else
Cuz he wouldn't touch me like that
And he wouldn't treat me like you do
He would adore me, he wouldn't ignore me
So I'm convinced there's a stranger in my house

I'm not sure who you are
Don't see your shadow around when you walk
Ain't leavin' no kisses
Goodbye with no words
If these walls could talk
They would have nothing to tell

So what could it be?
Is there someone immitating me?
Could she be taking my place?
Look me in the face
And tell me that I'm wrong
When I say...

Repeat 1

Pop quiz
Tell me where we first kissed
Tell me where my spot is
Tell me if I liked it, loved it
Or could it be
That the stranger is me
Have I changed so drastically?
Is it I want more for me?
And you remain the same

Barbara Streisand - What Kind Of Fool Lyrics

There was a time when we were down and out.
There was a place when we were starting over.
We let the bough break
we let the heartache in

Who's sorry now?
There was a world when we were standing still -
And for a moment we were separated. -
And then you found her
you let the stranger in

Who's sorry now
who's sorry now?
What
what kind of fool tears it apart

Leaving me pain and sorrow -
Losin' you now

Wondering why. -
Where will I be tomorrow?

There was a time when we were down and out
. . .
What
what kind of fool tears it apart

Leaving me pain and sorrow -
Losin' you now.
How can I win -
Were will I be tomorrow?

Was there a moment when I cut you down

Played around.
What have I done only apoligize for being as they say
The last to know -
It has to show when someone is in your eyes.
What kind of fool tears it apart
. . .

Rebecca Lynn Howard ... Forgive

I always said that'd be it
That I wouldn't stick around if it ever came to this
Here I am, so confused
How am I supposed to leave when I can't even move?
In the time it would have took to say "honey I'm home, how was your day?"
You dropped the bomb right where we live
And just expect me to forgive...


Chorus:
Well that's a mighty big word for such a small man
And I'm not sure I can
Cause I don't even know now who I am
It's too soon for me to say...forgive

I should ask but I won't
Was it love or just her touch?
Cause I don't think I wanna know
So get you some things
And get out
Don't call me for a day or two
So I can sort this out
Well you might as well have ripped the life right out of me
Right here tonight
And through the fallin' tears you said
"Can you ever just forgive?"

Chorus

You know what they say
Forgive and forget
Relive and regret

Forgive...

Chorus

Oh...it's too soon for me to say FORGIVE

Wheatus A Little Respect lyrics

I tried to discover a little something to make me sweeter
Oh baby refrain from breaking my heart
I'm so in love with you
I'll be forever blue
That you give me no reason, you know you're making me work so hard
That you give me no . . . Soul
I hear you calling
Oh baby please give a little respect to me.

And if I should falter, would you open your arms out to me?
We can make love not war, and live in peace with our hearts
I'm so in love with you, I'll be forever blue
What religion or reason could drive a man to forsake his lover?
Don't you tell me no. . . Soul.
I hear you calling
Oh baby please, give a little respect to me.

I'm so in love with you
I'll be forever blue
That you give me no reason
You know you're making me work so hard
That you give me no. Soul.
I hear you calling.
Oh baby, please give a little respect to me.
Oh baby, please give a little respect to me.
