What should be "our song"; At Last.

I want to kick both of their a#$%. (been taking taekwondo for almost 4 years), but I don't want to be arrested, etc. etc.

Maybe I am acting "as if" the song will be ours in the future.


At last
My love has come along
My lonely days over
And life is like a song


Ooh, at last
The skies above are blue
Well my heart was wrapped up in clover
The night I looked at you

I found a dream
That I could speak to
A dream that I could call my own
I found a thrill
To press my cheek to
A thrill that I have never known

Well

You smile
you smile
Oh and then the spell was cast
And here we are in heaven
For you are mine at last

I LOVE ETTA James! If you want to have a pity party, try Blu Cantrell, the artist that sings "hit em up style" She makes me cry with every song. She has SOOOO been there.

Nope, you're releasing the pain in a controlled and melodic fashion.

Been on an Etta James kick myself again lately. and Billie Holiday, Diana Krall, etc.

Thank you; love "At Last", and "Anything to Say You're Mine", "All I Could Do Was Cry"...

Janis Joplin has some great ones too, "Kozmic Blues", "Maybe", "To Love Somebody", "Little Girl Blues"

Those are all from my fav Janis CD, "I Got dem ole Kozmic Blues Again Mama!".

I will check out Blu Cantrell and Diana Krall right now.

Blu Cantrell Lyrics
Till I'm Gone"

[Verse 1]
I gave him love
I gave my all
I gave myself, I lost control
Held nothing back, I just let go
Now, I'm realizing, I've been all alone

[Hook]
He won't love me
Till I'm gone
But I don't want him
'Cause he's wrong wrong
Now he love me, 'cause I'm gone
But it's just too late
'Cause now I found someone

[Verse 2]
I'm looking
For an everlasting love
The kind that every girl dreams of
But every time you said you love me
Boy you lied
Now all I have for you
is goodbye

[Hook]

[Bridge]
Lord tell him something
'Cause he lost his mind
If I could rewind
I wouldn't give him the time
I'll take all this pain
And throw all away
But I realize
You ain't good enough for me

BLu Cantrell This one gives me strength Every day
"I'll Find A Way"

The promise of love
It came from my heart
Thought all that we shared
Would last forever
So where did things go wrong
What happened that made things fall apart
Why I just don't know
It's so hard to let go of someone
I used to call my own

[Chorus]
But I'll find a way
I'll get over you one day
I'll find a way
I'm gonna deal with all this pain
I'll find a way
'Cause I know that somewhere
My soul mate is waiting for me
Gonna make it through the day
I'll find a way

Silence gets so intense
Without you to share a word
I really miss your presence
This loneliness feels awkward
But I won't call you I refuse
I'd rather lay here by myself in the dark
Crying my heart out
I wish these tears could erase
All the memories of you but they can't

[Chorus]

'Cause what hurts today
In time will fade away
When you told me good-bye
I felt so betrayed
Find the courage
To move on
One day I'll replace
The precious love I lost

Last one. Here's the link: Blu Cantrell Lyrics

I just ordered the Blu Cantrell CD. Thanks for the tp. I like Diana Krall, too. On Nov. 27th, I went to my cousin's wedding, and a girl sang "At Last" by Etta James, and it almost killed me, even tho at the time I didn't know FOR SURE that WH was cheating, but I did "know". I don't think I have to explain. TTM

Diana Krall is fantastic. She is Canadian like me and her home town is not too far away.

I love "Peel me a grape"

Okay, you guys are killing me here. I am a huge music fan but normally don't listen to blues (or country for that matter). Of course I listened to Joplin way back when and also have a Billy Holliday CD...

Not familiar with Etta James but now I have to check her out.

If she makes me cry than I'm blaming you all. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

Dixie Chicks:
"I Can Love You Better"

She's got you wrapped up in her satin and lace.
Tied around her little finger.
She's got you thinkin' you can never escape.
Don't you know your heart's in danger.
There's a devil in that angel face.
If you could only see the love that you're wastin'

I can love you better that that.
I know how to make you forget her.
All I'm askin' is for one little chance.
Cause baby I can love you, baby I can love you better

I'm gonna break this spell she's got on you.
You're gonna wake up to find.
I'm your desire my intentions are true
Hey babe I know it's time.
You're gonna see what you mean to me.
So open up your eyes cause seein' is believin'.

[Chorus:]
I can love you better than that.
I can love you better.
All I'm askin' is for one little chance.
Cause baby I can love you, baby I can love you.


"You Were Mine"

I Can't Find A Reason To Let Go
Even Though You've Found A New Love
And She's What Your Dreams Are Made Of
I Can Find A Reason To Hang On
What Went Wrong Can Be Forgiven
Without You, It Ain't Worth Livin' Alone

[Chorus #1:]
Sometimes I Wake Up Crying At Night
And Sometimes I Scream Out Your Name
What Right Does She Have To Take You Away
When For So Long, You Were Mine

I Took Out All The Pictures Of Our Wedding Day
It Was A Time Of Love And Laughter
Happy Ever After
But Even Those Old Pictures Have Begun To Fade
Please Tell Me She's Not Real
And That You're Really Coming Home To Stay

[Chorus #2:]
Sometimes I Wake Up Crying At Night
And Sometimes I Scream Out Your Name
What Right Does She Have To Take Your Heart Away
When For So Long, You Were Mine

I Can Give You Two Good Reasons
To Show You Love's Not Blind
He's Two And She's Four, And You Know They Adore You
So How Can I Tell Them You've Changed Your Mind

[Chorus #2]

I Remember When You Were Mine
