Going thru all the emotions makes me listen to every word
in each song and I had many a day that I couldn't listen
to music because most are so sad. I also have a problem
with movies that show people having A's.....Anyway the
song I would dedicate to my WH would be by Alabama -
Shes a lady down on love...fits me to a T. Gave my WH the
lyrics last night and said this is my song.....

Starting the List:

Silver Blue and Gold, Bad Company

In the beginning, I believed every word that you said
Now that you're gone my world is in shreds
Oh you loved me and left me
You took all the things that I needed so bad
I'm standing here wondering where is the love that I had oh

CHORUS:
Give me silver, blue and gold
The color of the sky I'm told
My rainbow is overdue

In the beginning, there was something of love that was mine
Now that it's gone, whoa I'm crying
Oh the time that it takes for a love to grow cold
is a wonder to me
I'm walking around with my head hanging down
tell me where is she

CHORUS

Don't forsake me cause I love you
Don't forsake me cause I love you

CHORUS

CHORUS
Now CHORUS

Oh Don't forsake me cause I love you
Don't forsake me cause I love you

If you love something, set it free. If it comes back its yours. If it doesn't, it never was. You can't make sense of insanity...definition of insanity, doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Lisa

I actually just heard a (country) song that I haven't heard for a very long time and man does it now have a meaning.

I dedicate "You'll think of me" by Keith Urban to my WW who refuses to come out of the fog.

One that I should have dedicated to my WS on D-Day was Hair of the Dog by Nazareth:

Heart breaker, soul shaker
I’ve been told about you
Steamroller, midnight stroller
What they’ve been saying must be true

Bridge:

Red hot mama
Velvet charmer
Time’s come to pay your dues

Chorus:

Now you’re messin’ with a
A son of a ******
Now you’re messin’ with a son of a ******
Now you’re messin’ with a
A son of a ******
Now you’re messin’ with a son of a ******

Talkin’ jivey, poison ivy
You ain’t gonna cling to me
Man taker, born faker
I ain’t so blind I can’t see

<img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

What I would love my WS to dedicate to me:

I'm Sorry
( John Denver )

It's cold here in the city
It always seems that way
And I've been thinking about you almost everyday
Thinking about the good times
Thinking about the rain
Thinking about how bad it feels alone again

I'm sorry for the way things are in China
I'm sorry things ain't what they used to be
But more than anything else
I'm sorry for myself
'Cause you're not here with me

Our friends all ask about you
I say you're doing fine
And I expect to hear from you almost anytime
But they all know I'm crying
And I can't sleep at night
They all know I'm dying down deep inside

I'm sorry for all the lies I told you
I'm sorry for the things I didn't say
But more than anything else
I'm sorry for myself
I can't believe you went away

[break]

I'm sorry if I took some things for granted
I'm sorry for the chains I put on you
But more than anything else
I'm sorry for myself
For living without you

It's cold here in the city
It always seems that way
And I've been thinking about you almost everyday

This is a country song by Blake Shelton;

It's your life, you say you need a change
Don't all the dreams we've seen come true mean anything
You say it's different now and you keep staring at the door
How can you walk away, don't I matter anymore.

If being free is worth what you leave behind
And if it's too late for love to change your mind
Then it's goodbye time.

If we had known our love would come to this
We could have saved our hearts the hurt of wasted years
Well it's been fun what else can I say
If the feelings gone words won't stop you anyway.

If being free is worth what you leave behind
And if it's too late for love to change your mind
Then it's goodbye time

Tom Petty - I Need To Know

Well, the talk on the street
Says you might go solo
A good friend of mine
Saw you leavin' by your back door

I need to know, I need to know
If you think you're gonna leave
Then you better say so
I need to know, I need to know
Cause I don't know how long I can hold on
If you're makin' me wait, if you're leadin' me on
I need to know

Who would've thought that
You'd fall for his line
All of a sudden
It's me on the outside

I need to know, I need to know
If you think you're gonna leave
Then you better say so
I need to know, I need to know
Cause I don't know how long I can hold on
If you're makin' me wait, if you're leadin' me on
I need to know

I need to know, I need to know
If you think you're gonna leave
Then you better say so
I need to know, I need to know
Cause I don't know how long I can hold on
If you're makin' me wait, if you're leadin' me on

I need to know
I need to know
I need to know
Baby, I need to know

This is too funny!
Quote
"Fifty Ways to Leave Your Lover" Based on the performance by Paul Simon
"Fifty Ways to Know He's Cheating" Parody by Royce Miller
taken from an article I read in "Dear Abby"
The problem's all inside your mind, he says to her
You know that you're the only woman I prefer
But she knows very well there's something foul astir
Cause there are 50 ways to tell he's cheating

He's leaving in the morning, smells like Irish Spring
(That ain't the signal that he's having him a fling)
But he comes home smelling of Speed Stick, and no ring
And those are just 2 ways to tell he's cheating
Just two ways to tell he's cheating

Now don't you be lame, Jane
Just look for his plan, Ann
He's got a new toy, Joy
Just listen to me
Go follow the clues, Sue
If you think he ain't true
Your gut is your key, Lee
He wants to be free

All of a sudden he is getting salon tans
he's lookin golden, like a muffin made from bran
And he is so well-groomed, right down to his two hands
yes, there are fifty ways to tell he's cheating

If you get lots of hang-ups on your telephone
And you are finding that you're always left alone
And if you're feeling like a dog without a bone
Well there are fifty ways to tell he's cheating

Now don't you be lame, Jane
Just look for his plan, Jan
He's got a new toy, Joy
Just listen to me
Go follow the clues, Sue
If you think he ain't true
Your gut is your key, Lee
He wants to be free

Peter Gabriel ~ The Book of Love

The book of love is long and boring
No one can lift the damn thing
It's full of charts and facts and figures
And instructions for dancing

But I
I love it when you read to me
And you
You can read me anything

The book of love has music in it
In fact that's where music comes from
Some of it is just transcendental
Some of it is just really dumb

But I
I love it when you sing to me
And you
You can sing me anything

The book of love is long and boring
And written very long ago
It's full of flowers and heart-shaped boxes
And things we're all too young to know

But I
I love it when you give me things
And you
You ought to give me wedding rings

And I
I love it when you give me things
And you
You ought to give me wedding rings

You ought to give me wedding rings


Well, there it is...

Here is a song that I was TERRIFIED that my H would dedicate to me...I was such a "fence ridin' cake eater"...YUCK!!! So glad I woke up before it was too late...

Mrs. Dubya


Time For Me to Fly
REO Speedwagon


I've been around for you
I've been up and down for you
But I just can't get any relief
I've swallowed my pride for you
I've lived and lied for you
But you still make me feel like a thief

You got me stealin' your love away
'Cause you never give it
Peeling the years away
And we can't relive it
I make you laugh
And you make me cry
I believe it's time for me to fly

You said we'd work it out
You said that you had no doubt
That deep down we were really in love

Oh, but I'm tired of holding on
To a feeling I know is gone
I do believe that I've had enough

I've had enough of the falseness
Of a worn out relation
Enough of the jealousy
And the intoleration
I make you laugh
And you make me cry
I believe it's time for me to fly

{Refrain} Time for me to fly
Oh, I've got to set myself free
Time for me to fly
And that's just how it's got to be
I know it hurts to say goodbye
But it's time for me to fly

Oh, don't you know it's...
{Refrain}

It's time for me to fly
{Repeat to end}

Because it is SOOOO fitting today....

No Arizona

He promised her a new and better life
Out in Arizona
Underneath the blue never-ending sky
Swore that he was gonna
get things in order
He'd send for her
When he left her behind, it never crossed her mind

There is no Arizona
No painted desert
No Sedona
If there was
A grand canyon
She could fill it up with the lies he's told her
But they don't exist
Those dreams he sold her
She'll wake up and find
There is no Arizona

She got a postcard with no return address
Post marked Tombstone
It said I dont know where I'm goin next
But when I do I'll let ya know
May, June, July
She wonders why she's still waitin
She'll keep waiting cause

There is no Arizona
No painted desert
No Sedona
If there was
A grand canyon
She could fill it up with the lies he's told her
But they don't exist
Those dreams he sold her
She'll wake up and find
There is no Arizona

Each day the sun sets into the west
Her heart sinks lower in her chest
And friends keep askin when she's goin
Finally she tells them, don't you know

There is no Arizona
No painted desert
No Sedona
If there was
A grand canyon
She could fill it up with the lies he's told her
But they don't exist
Those dreams he sold her
She'll wake up and find
There is no Arizona

He promised her a new and better life
Out in Arizona

"You Oughta Know" by Alanis Morrisette. It's a bit angry, but then again, so am I.

And I'm here to remind you
Of the mess you left when you went away
It's not fair to denyme
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
You oughta know

Wow, I can feel myself turning into a bitter twisted woman and I quite like it. TT

This song became a big hit just a few weeks after we began to reconcile...and I remember singing this to her when it was just her and I alone in our van late at night going to pick up her sister from the airport.

We both cried, and she began singing it with me. Since then, it's sort of become 'our song' for our recovery.

“Let’s Be Us Again” by Lonestar

Tell me what I have to do tonight
Cause I’d do anything to make it right
Let’s be us again
Sorry for the way I lost my head
I don’t know why I said the things I said
Let’s be us again
Here I stand,
With everything to lose and all I know is I don’t wanna ever see the end
Baby please I’m reaching out for you
Won’t you open up your heart and let me come back in
Let’s be us again
Look at me, I’m way past pride
Isn’t there some way that we can try to be us again
Even if it takes awhile ill wait right here until I see that smile
That says we re us again
And here I stand with everything to lose and all I know is I don’t ever wanna see the end
Baby please I m reaching out for you wont u open up your heart and let me come back in
Lets be us again
Baby, baby what would I can’t imagine life without you
Here I stand with everything to loose and all I know is I don’t wanna ever see the end
Baby please I’m reaching out for you wont you open up your heart and let me come back in
Here I am I m reaching out for you so wont u open up your heart and let me come back in
Lets be us again
Ohhh let’s be us again

For my xWS:

"I'm The Only One" by Melissa Etheridge

Please baby can't you see
My mind's a burnin' he**
I got razors a rippin' and tearin' and strippin'
My heart apart as well
Tonight you told me
That you ache for something new
And some other woman is lookin' like something
That might be good for you

Chorus:
Go on and hold her till the screaming is gone
Go on believe her when she tells you
nothing's wrong
But I'm the only one
Who'll walk across the fire for you
I'm the only one
Who'll drown in my desire for you
It's only fear that makes you run
The demons that you're hiding from
When all your promises are gone
I'm the only one.

Please baby can't you see
I'm trying to explain
I've been here before and I'm locking the door
And I'm not going back again
Her eyes and arms and skin won't make
it go away
You'll wake up tomorrow and wrestle the sorrow
That holds you down today.

Chorus

____________


The song I dedicate to myself...the BS who has struggled to let go

"If I Wanted To" by Melissa Etheridge

If I wanted to I could do anything right
I could dance with the devil on a
Saturday night
If I wanted to I could turn matches to gold
I could smoke drink swear and I would never
grow old
I wouldn't have to be in love with you
If I only wanted to
If I only wanted to

If I wanted to I could run fast as a train
Be as sharp as a needle that's twisting you
brain
If I wanted to I could turn mountains to sand
Have political leaders in the palm of my hand
I wouldn't have to be in love with you
If I only wanted to
If I only wanted to

I could leave tonight
And I would be all right
Stop holding on
If I wanted to
If I only wanted to

If I wanted to I could be as patient as death
Fix this hole in my heart leaking into my flesh
If I wanted to I could turn sparks into ice
There'd never be another woman who could make you
think twice
I wouldn't have to be in love with you.
If I only wanted to
If I only wanted to........

For my ex: Your Cheatin' Heart by Hank Williams Sr, George Hamilton IV, Freddy Fender, Ray Charles, Patsy Cline, Nat King Cole, Elvis Presley, Brenda Lee, Del Shannon, and, of course, Johnny Kidd & The Pirates. Heck, with that many singers having done versions of that song, they must know something huh?
