Gloria Estefan. It's called "All That I Wish You Is Love."

To me, it spoke to what happens in Plan B. Read the lyrics.

The day I was born I knew a lot of things
But now that I’m grown
I’m just remembering
Where I have been.
Might’ve we met before
Suddenly something has led you back
To my door
Looking to settle the score
But no more

Deceive me, hurt and mislead me
All that I wish you is love
Abuse me, damage and use me
All that I wish you is love

Believe me it’s hard to turn the other cheek
Faithful and kind
Might be confused for weak
An innocent streak
I’m learning a lot from you
Making me stronger each time you think
I’ve been beat
Whatever you scatter you reap
But down deep

Defeat me, shame and mistreat me
All that I wish you is love
Despise me, lie, criticize me
All that I wish you is love

I may not forget, but I forgive you
If it happens again
The way that I grew, I owe it to you
I have you to thank

Deceive me, hurt and mislead me
All that I wish you is love
Abuse me, damage and use me
All that I wish you is love

Defeat me, shame and mistreat me
All that I wish you is love
Despise me, lie criticize me
All that I wish you is love
All that I wish you is love

And another one. By Extreme. "More Than Words"

For those of us who have dealt with a spouse/partner who has repeatedly made promises, who has used the right words, but not followed up with behavior, this will become almost a mantra.

I got to thinking...what if, what if we couldn't hear? What if we couldn't read? What if the only way our spouses could prove their love and their commitment was to show it? To behave in a committed and loving way? How different would our recoveries be? And how different our marriages!

Anyway, here are the lyrics:

Sayin I love you
Is not the words I want to hear from you
It's not that I want you not to say
But if you only knew
How easy it would be to show me how you feel
More than words is all you have to do to make it real
Then you wouldn't have to say
That you love me
Cause I'd already know

What would you do
If my heart was torn in two
More than words to show you feel
That your love for me is real

What would you say
If I took those words away
Then you couldn't make things new
Just by saying I love you

More than words...

Now that I've tried to
Talk to you and make you understand
All you have to do is
Close your eyes and just reach out your hand

And touch me
Hold me close don't ever let me go
More than words is all I ever needed you to show
Then you wouldn't have to say
That you love me
Cause I'd already know

What would you do
If my heart was torn in two
More than words to show you feel
That your love for me is real

What would you say
If I took those words away
Then you couldn't make things new
Just by saying I love you

Smile
<img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />
Smile, though your heart is aching, smile, even though it's breaking!

When there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by!

If you smile through your fear an' sorrow, smile and maybe tomorrow, you'll see the sun come shining through for you!

Light up your face with gladness, hide every trace of sadness, although a tear may be ever so near, that's the time you must keep on tryin', smile, what's the use of cryin' ? you'll find that life is still worthwhile, if you'll just smile!



That's the time you must keep on tryin',
smile, what's the use of cryin' ?
you'll find that life is still worthwhile,
if you'll just smile! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

I first heard this song a week before
I discovered my W's EA. I must say the
lyrics struct me like a board in the forehead

At least it gives hope that things might work out

LeAnn Rimes - Last Thing On My Mind (Duet With Ronan Keating)

Four O'Clock in the morning
My minds filled with a thousand thoughts of you
And how you left without warning
But looking back I'm sure you tried to talk it through

Now I see it so clearly
We're together but living separate lives
So I wanna tell you I'm sorry
Baby I can't find the words
But if I could, then you know I would
Yeah

No I won't let go, know what we can be
I won't watch my life crashing down on me
Guess I had it all right there before my eyes, yeah
(Girl) I'm sorry now you were the last thing on my mind

You carried me like a river
How far we've come it still surprises me
And now I look in the mirror
Staring back is a man I used to be, with you
How I long for you, yeah

No I won't let go, know what we can be
I won't watch my life crashing down on me
Guess I had it all right there before my eyes, yeah
(Girl) I'm sorry now you were the last thing on my mind

Oh I'm sorry now, you were the last thing on my mind
Girl, I'm sorry I was wrong
Could have been there
Should have been so strong
So I'm sorry

No I won't let go, know what we can be
I won't watch my life crashing down on me
Guess I had it all right there before my eyes, yeah
(Girl) I'm sorry now you were the last thing on my mind

I won't watch my life crashing down on me
Guess I had it all right there before my eyes, yeah
(Girl) I'm sorry now, you were the last thing on my mind

On my mind
On my mind


Hanging in there

don't know yet if anyones already mentioned this one...if they have sorry for repeating.

Tammy Cochran
If You Can


Are you awake; are you asleep?
It's hard to tell with your back to me
Turn around and face me, if you can.
Are you afraid what I might see
If you should look at me.
Now, tell me about her, if you can

If you can look me in the eye and say we're over
If you can kiss my lips and feel no fire inside
If you can hold my body close and still say you love her most
Then you can walk out of my life, if you can.

Everyone makes mistakes; tell me she's the one you made
And I'll forgive, and I'll forget, if you can.
Who was right and who was wrong
Doesn't matter if the love is gone.
Honey, I'll keep holding on, if you can.

If you can look me in the eye and say we're over
If you can kiss my lips and feel no fire inside
If you can hold my body close and still say you love her most
Then you can walk out of my life, if you can.
You can walk out of my life, if you can.

Kenny Chesney: When I Think About Leaving

This song is one of my favorites and also one of my girls favorites. I was playing the CD when this just happened to come on with WH in the car this week. The kids, as I expected, started singing with gusto because they like it. It hit home with him, especially sections 5 & 6 as written below.

*************************************************
You know some times me and my lady have these crazy fights
and when we do it makes me wonder
Are we're ever gonna get it right

When I think about leaving
I think about me
What my life would be like if I were back to being free
Go where I wanna go,
do what I wanna do,
wouldn't have a soul I had to answer to
When I think about leaving
I think about me

You know I got a friend him and his wife just couldn't see eye to eye
he had all he could stand one day
and just packed up and said good-bye

When I think about leaving
I think about him
That little apartment cross town he's living in
Got an old corvette,
got a new girlfriend,
but only sees his kids every other weekend
When I think about leaving
oh I think about him

I never will forget her face
or the day she told me about her dad,
how he walked out on her and her mom
when she was just a kid

When I think about leaving
oh I think about her
Only five years old and her heart filled up with hurt
With her little arms wrapped around his neck saying daddy where you going,
are you coming back
When I think about leaving
I think about her

You know the truth is,
most of the time things were really great
and I know we got something special
When I think about leaving
I think about us
How we build this love we share on faith and trust,
honest way we talk,
tender way we touch,
All those nights we spent making love,
When I think about leaving
oh I think about us

When I think about leaving
I think again
Even though that thought crosses my mind every now and then
In my heart I know I would never leave,
there's nowhere else on earth I would rather be
When I think about leaving
I think again

When I think about leaving
When I think about leaving
When I think about leaving:I think again

I can hear one line in my head but can't seem to think of the song or the artist. My IC said it to me

the first cut is the deepest
can anyone help find the rest of the song and who sang it.

RE

Rod Stewart sings the version I like best, but Sheryl Crow sings "First Cut" now.

My votes go tp Martina McBride for How Far AND Where Would You Be?

Okay:

Time for some lyrics that say something else! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />

"Scatterlings of Africa" - Juluka

"Copper sun sinking low
Scatterlings and fugitives
Hooded eyes and weary brows
Seek refuge in the night

Chorus:
They are the scatterlings of Africa
Each uprooted one
On the road to Phelamanga
Where the world began
I love the scatterlings of Africa
Each and every one
In their hearts a burning hunger
Beneath the copper sun

Ancient bones from Olduvai
Echoes of the very first cry
"Who made me here and why
Beneath the copper sun?"
African idea
African idea
Make the future clear
Make the future clear

Chorus.....
And we are the scatterlings of Africa
Both you and I
We are on the road to Phelamanga
Beneath a copper sky
And we are the scatterlings of Africa
On a journey to the stars
Far below, we leave forever
Dreams of what we were"

<img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

This track perfectly describes my dark days.

Alice in Chains, Rain when I die

Is she ready to know my frustration?
What she slippin' inside, slow castration
I'm a riddle so strong, you can't break me
Did she come here to try, try to take me

Did she call my name?
I think it's gonna rain
When I die

Was it something I said, held against me?
Ain't no life on the run, slowly climbing
Caught in ice so she stares, stares at nothing
I can help her but won't, now she hates me

Did she call my name?
I think it's gonna rain
When I die

She won't let me hide
She don't want me to cry

Will she keep on the ground, trying to ground me
Slowly forgive my lie, lying to save me
Could she love me again, or will she hate me
Prob'ly not, I know why, can't explain me

Did she call my name?
I think it's gonna rain
When I die

**THREADJACK IN PROCESS**

Bob...if I don't get a chance to say later, take it easy! Have fun with your trip coming up. You seem to enjoy it, they seem to like you, and obviously you're good at what you do. "See" ya <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> later!

SHERYL CROW LYRICS

The First Cut Is The Deepest


I would have given you all of my heart
But there's someone who's torn it apart
And he's taken just all that i have
But if you want i'll try to love again
Baby, i'll try to love again, but i know...

The first cut is the deepest
Baby i know
The first cut is the deepest
But when it comes to bein' lucky, he's cursed
When it comes to lovin' me, he's worse...

I still want you by my side
Just to help me dry the tears that i've cried
And i'm sure gonna give you a try
If you want i'll try to love again, (try)
Baby, i'll try to love again, but i know...

OOHHH,
The first cut is the deepest
Baby i know
The first cut is the deepest
But when it comes to bein' lucky, he's cursed
But when it comes to lovin' me, he's worse...

I still want you by my side
Just to help me dry the tears that i've cried
But i'm sure gonna give you a try
Cuz if you want i'll try to love again
(try to love again, try to love again)
Baby, i'll try to love again but i know, OOHHH....

The first cut is the deepest
Baby i know
The first cut is the deepest
When it comes to bein' lucky, he's cursed
When it comes to lovin' me, he's worse

OOHHH, the first cut is the deepest
Baby i know (baby i know)
The first cut is the deepest
Try to love again...


and "The Picture" by Sheryl Crowe and Kid Rock:

Lyrics:

(Kid Rock) Livin' my life in a slow hell
Different girl every night at the hotel
I aint seen the sun shine in 3 damn days

Been fuelin' up on cocaine and whisky
Wish I had a good girl to miss me
Lord I wonder if I'll ever change my ways

I put your picture away
Sat down and cried today
I can't look at you, while I'm lyin' next to her
I put your picture away, sat down and cried today
I can't look at you, while I'm lyin' next to her

(Sherly Crow)
I called you last night in the hotel
Everyone knows but they wont tell
But their half hearted smiles tell me
Somethin' just ain't right
I been waitin' on you for a long time
Fuelin' up on heartaches and cheap wine
I ain't heard from you in 3 damn nights

I put your picture away
I wonder where you been
I can't look at you while I'm lyin' next to him
I put your picture away
I wonder where you been
I can't look at you while I'm lyin' next to him

I saw ya yesterday with an old friend

(Kid Rock)
It was the same ole same 'how have you been'

(Both)
Since you been gone my worlds been dark & grey

(Kid Rock)
You reminded me of brighter days

(Sheryl Crow)
I hoped you were comin' home to stay
I was headed to church

(Kid Rock)
I was off to drink you away

(Both)
I thought about you for a long time
Can't seem to get you off my mind
I can't understand why we're living life this way

I found your picture today
I swear I'll change my ways
I just called to say I want you to come back home

I found your picture today
I swear I'll change my ways
I just called to say I want you to come back home
I just called to say, I love you come back home

"The Picture" by Sheryl Crowe and Kid Rock:

This is the song that my H dedicated to me upon his return to our home. He told me that night that the words in that song describe the way he felt the whole time we were separated. He was heavily drinking, doing drugs, and pursuing OW. So now, that's our new song. Both of us trying to start fresh.

Foo Fighters
Times Like These

I, I'm a one way motorway
I'm a road that drives away
Then follows you back home
I, I'm a street light shining
I'm a white light blinding bright
Burning off and on

It's times like these you learn to live again
It's times like these you give and give again
It's times like these you learn to love again
It's times like these time and time again

I, I'm a new day rising
I'm a brand new sky
To hang the stars upon tonight
I, I'm a little divided
Do I stay or run away
And leave it all behind?

It's times like these you learn to live again
It's times like these you give and give again
It's times like these you learn to love again
It's times like these time and time again

MACY GRAY LYRICS


She Ain't Right For You

Wrote me in a letter that she makes u feel better and all of the
Things u said to her but I feel what I feel, it’s real.

She ain’t right for you she don’t know you like I do, no matter
What she do she ain’t right for you, don’t u want to be happy?
Baby u should stay with me ‘cause she ain’t right for you – she
Don’t love you like I do.

Turn me around. Turn me upside down sporting the tears of a
Clown but I feel what I feel, it’s real.

She ain’t right for you she don’t know you like I do, no matter
What she do she ain’t right for you, don’t u want to be happy?
Baby u should stay with me ‘cause she ain’t right for you – she
Don’t love you like I do.

They will say that I spend all my days chasing a love that she
Took away but I feel what I feel.

You know baby I’ve been trying to tell you for a mighty long
Time now that u can keep looking u can keep searching all
Over the world. Trying to find a find a love like mine but the real
Thing is right here baby and no matter what she say no matter
What she do, she don’t like u like I do.

She ain’t right for you she don’t know you like I do, no matter
What she do she ain’t right for you, don’t u want to be happy?
Baby u should stay with me ‘cause she ain’t right for you – she
Don’t love you like I do.

They will say that I spend all my days chasing a love that she
Took away but I feel what I feel

This one is by a friend...

He walks through the night alone
Wondering, “what have I done?”
It wasn’t for want of love
Love didn’t figure at all

She spends her night alone
Crying for what he had done
Had broken her heart for good
Hardly believing that he could throw it...

All for a loveless night
Only one careless night
He finds himself losing through it all
All for a loveless night

Calling against her will
Knowing he loves her still
She’s had some time alone
Maybe she’ll take him back home

Softly he speaks her name
And asks her to try it again
She doesn’t think she could
Knowing forever that he could throw it...



All for a Loveless Night by Steve Bell

My turn! These are all Joshua Kadison from Painted Desert Serenade. The original I had was a cassette that ended up worn out from play. They were just pretty songs back then. Now, these all have some significance regarding the A. I've actually bought three copies since dday. My 18 year old son took off with the first, my H took the next, and finally I got a copy just for me and have no idea where it is. Maybe, I just haven't looked very hard. They make me kinda' sad.

#1 PreA We both loved this song. I hope one day H can put it on and I feel like he really believes.

'Beautiful in My Eyes'

You're my peace of mind, in this crazy world
You're everything I've tried to find
Your love is a pearl
You're my Mona Lisa,
You're my rainbow skies
And my only prayer is that you realize...
You'll always be beautiful in my eyes

The world will turn, And the seasons will change
And all the lessons we will learn
Will be beautiful and strange
We'll have our fill of tears, our share of sighs
My only prayer is that you realize...
You'll always be beautiful in my eyes.

You will always be Beautiful in my eyes
And the passing years will show
That you will always grow
Ever more beautiful in my eyes.

And there are lines upon my face,
From a lifetime of smiles
When the time comes to embrace
For one long last while
We can laugh about How time really flies
We won't say goodbye
Cause true love never dies
You'll always be beautiful in my eyes.


#2 Describes oh, so well, how I felt during the A

'Invisible Man'

Woke up this morning with a funny feeling,
wasn't really sure what it was all about.
Felt like I was disappearing, so I ran to the mirror to check it out.
I said, Here I am, here I am, here I am ........
but why do I feel like the invisible man?

I stumbled back into the bedroom, and stared out at the rising sun.
Then I heard myself shout out the window,
Not really talking to anyone.
I yelled, Here I am, here I am, here I am,.....
but why do I feel like the invisible man?

Lights went on, people started yelling,
Will the crazy man go back to bed.
And there I was laughing out my window,
feeling much better now,
Somebody heard what I said.

Well, it's no big thing, no revelation,
no answer to these lives we lead.
But I think I do know one thing:
Sometimes I think we all need to say,
Here I am, here I am, here I am,
when life makes us feel like the invisible man.

#3 Just want the H to listen to this one again as a refresher course on what to do after a trigger.

'When a Woman Cries'

When a woman cries, when a woman cries,
she can wash your world away.
When storms fill her eyes,
you never know what to say.

Don't say a word, don't say anything.
She don't need your truth or lies.
Just hold her close and love her,
when a woman cries.

When a woman cries, when a woman cries,
there is no sadder song.
So you apologize, you apologize,
even if you don't know what you've done wrong.

But if you really want to make her happy,
to stop her sobbing and her sighs,
just hold her close and love her,
when a woman cries.

Now, don't waste your time thinking
'bout the right thing to say.
Just put your arms around her
'til the clouds roll away.

When a woman cries, when a woman cries,
she can tear your dreams apart.
When storms fill her eyes, when storms fill her eyes, It can break a... break a man's heart.

And if you find that you're crying too,
don't let it come as no surprise
Just hold her close and love her
when your woman cries.


I enjoyed typing those out. Great thread!

I heard this on the radio a little while ago and it caught the mood I found myself in this morning.

I'm back to my hopeful self right now, but it felt good to sing this at the top of my lungs while cleaning the house and dancing. My eight month old thinks I'm the funniest thing around!

It's a nice upbeat song too so it helped my mood!
********************************************


Jo Dee Messina - Bye Bye Lyrics

Boy you sure look good there standin' in the doorway in the
sunset light
Maybe I read you wrong thinkin' you could be my Mr. Right
I was puttin' my heart and soul on the line
Said you needed some time, just a little more time to make up
your mind
Well it's been long enough
Time is up

Bye bye love, I'll catch you later
Got a lead foot down on my accelerator and the rearview mirror
torn off
I ain't never lookin' back. And that's a fact.
I've tried all I can imagine
I've begged and pleaded in true lover's fashion
I've got pride, I'm takin' it for a ride
Bye bye, bye bye my baby, bye bye

Don't think all those tears are gonna hold me here like they've
done before
You'll find what's left of us in a cloud of dust on highway 4
Baby what did you expect me to do
Just sit around and wait on you
Well I'm through watchin' you just skate around the truth
And I know it sounds trite
I've seen the light

Bye bye love, I'll catch you later
Got a lead foot down on my accelerator and the rearview mirror
torn off
'Cause I ain't never lookin' back, and that's a fact.
I've tried all I can imagine
I've begged and pleaded in true lover's fashion
I've got pride, I'm takin' it for a ride
Bye bye, bye bye my baby, bye bye

I'd lost the game I guess
I did my best to win the part
Now I'm leavin' here with what's left of my heart.
Bye bye, I'll catch you later
Got a lead foot down on my accelerator and the rearview mirror
torn off
'Cause I ain't never lookin' back.
You can count on that.
I've tried all I can imagine
I've begged and pleaded in true lover's fashion
I've got pride, I'm takin' it for a ride
Bye bye, bye bye my baby, bye bye

A song probably motivated by 9/11, but it's about any loss, really...

You're Missing
Bruce Springsteen

Shirts in the closet
Shoes in the hall
Mama's in the kitchen
Baby in the hall

Everything is everything
Everything is everything
But you're missing

Coffee cup's on the counter
Jacket's on the chair
Paper's on the doorstep
But you're not there

Everything is everything
Everything is everything
But you're missing

Picture's on the nightstand
TV's on in the den
Your house is waiting
Your house is waiting

For you to walk in
For you to walk in
But you're missing
You're missing

You're missing
When I shut out the lights
You're missing
When I close my eyes
You're missing
When I see the sun rise
You're missing

Children are askin' if it's alright
Will you be in our arms tonight

Morning is morning
The evening falls
I got too much room in my bed
Too many phone calls

"How's everything", everything
Everything, everything
But you're missing
You're missing

God's driftin' in heaven
Devil's in the mailbox
Got dust on my shoes
Nothin' but teardrops

Don't know if this has been posted but I wrote it in a card that I sent to my wife who I am desperatly trying to get back.
Hoobastank- The Reason

I'm not a perfect person
There's many things I wish I didn't do
But I continue learning
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know

(chorus)
I've found a reason for me
to change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is you

I'm sorry that I hurt you
It's something I must live with everyday
And all the pain I put you through
I wish I could take it all away
And be the one who catches all your tears
That's why I need you to hear

chorus

I'm not a perfect person
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know

I found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is you

I've found a reason to show
A side of me you didn't know
A reason for all that I do
And the reason is you
