'For Good'



'For Good' (From the Musical Show Wicked) - Kristen Chenowith

I've heard it said that people come into our lives
for a reason
bringing something we must learn
and we are led to those who help us most to grow
if we let them and we help them in return
well I don't know if I believe that's true but I know I'm who I am today because I knew you...
like a comet pulled from orbit as it passes the sun,
like a stream that meets a boulder halfway through the wood...
who can say if I've been changed for the better
because I knew you
I have been changed for good
It well may be that we will never meet again in this lifetime
so let me say before we part:
so much of me is made of what I have learned from you
you'll be with me, like a handprint on my heart
now whatever way our stories end
I know you have rewritten mine by being my friend...
Like a ship blown from it's mooring by a wind off the sea
like a seed dropped by a skybird in a distant wood
who can say if I've been changed for the better
because I knew you...
I have been changed for good
And just to clear the air
I ask forgiveness for what you blame me for...
but then I guess there is blame to share...
And none of it seems to matter anymore
Like a comet pulled from orbit as it passes the sun
like a stream that meets a boulder halfway through the wood
Who can say if I've been changed for the better
I do believe I have been changed for the better
because I knew you
because I knew you
I have been changed for good

'Whenever You're Away From Me'




'Whenever You're Away From Me' - Olivia Newton John and Gene Kelly

No other face would take you off my mind
You're so refined
You're much too kind
I have to warn you I'm never gonna set you free
'Cause I was born to
Love you for eternity
Whenever you're away from me
Wherever you go
You're never far away from me
I want you to know
I only have to close my eyes dear
And suddenly I'm where you are
You better never stray
Cos I'll never be far away
On every breeze I seem to hear your name
My heart's aflame
I feel the same
I'd fall apart dear if you let the feelin' end
Don't break a heart dear that nobody else could mend
Whenever you're away from me
Wherever you go
You're never far away from me
I want you to know
I only have to close my eyes dear
And suddenly I'm where you are
You better never stray
Cos I'll never be far away

'Bubbly'




'Bubbly' - Colbie Caillat

I've been awake for a while now
You've got me feelin' like a child now
'Cause every time I see your bubbly face
I get the tingles in a silly place
It starts in my toes
And I crinkle my nose
Wherever it goes I always know
That you make me smile
Please stay for a while now
Just take your time
Wherever you go
The rain is fallin' on my window pane
But we are hidin' in a safer place
Under the covers stayin' safe and warm
You give me feelings that I adore
They start in my toes
Make me crinkle my nose
Wherever it goes
I always know
That you make me smile
Please stay for a while now
Just take your time
Wherever you go
What am I gonna say
When you make me feel this way?
I just, mmm
It starts in my toes
Makes me crinkle my nose
Wherever it goes
I always know
That you make me smile
Please stay for a while now
Just take your time
Wherever you go
I've been asleep for a while now
You tucked me in just like a child now
'Cause every time you hold me in your arms
I'm comfortable enough to feel your warmth
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
Wherever, wherever, where ever you go
Wherever, wherever, where ever you go

'You Raise Me Up'

Hello Love,
Now this is more like it! This is a lovely song...and this Brian fella sounds like you could take him home to your mother, lovely enunciation!
Wayne loves Brian and recommends you try and seek out more of his songs especially "Christopher Street" and "Sea of Stars".
Enjoy.

'You Raise Me Up' - Secret Garden featuring Brian Kennedy

When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary;
When troubles come and my heart burdened be;
Then, I am still and wait here in the silence,
Until you come and sit awhile with me.
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up to more than I can be.
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up to more than I can be.
There is no life no life without its hunger;
Each restless heart beats so imperfectly;
But when you come and I am filled with wonder,
Sometimes, I think I glimpse eternity.
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
And I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up to more than I can be.
You raise me up to more than I can be.

'Casimir Pulaski Day'

Hello Love,
Forgive me.....I only speak for Wayne and do his bidding and he bids this 'plonky' stuff. 'Sufjan Stevens'.....I ask you? What's wrong with Sebastian or Sydney?



 
'Casimir Pulaski Day' - Sufjan Stevens

Golden rod and the 4-H stone
The things I brought you
When I found out you had cancer of the bone

Your father cried on the telephone
And he drove his car to the Navy yard
Just to prove that he was sorry

In the morning through the window shade
When the light pressed up against your shoulder blade
I could see what you were reading

Oh the glory that the lord has made
And the complications you could do without
When I kissed you on the mouth

Tuesday night at the bible study
We lift our hands and pray over your body
But nothing ever happens

I remember at Michael's house
In the living room when you kissed my neck
And I almost touched your blouse

In the morning at the top of the stairs
When your father found out what we did that night
And you told me you were scared

Oh the glory when you ran outside
With your shirt tucked in and your shoes untied
And you told me not to follow you

Sunday night when I cleaned the house
I find the card where you wrote it out
With the pictures of your mother

On the floor at the great divide
With my shirt tucked in and my shoes untied
I am crying in the bathroom

In the morning when you finally go
And the nurse runs in with her head hung low
And the cardinal hits the window

In the morning in the winter shade
On the first of March on the holiday
I thought I saw you breathing

Oh the glory that the lord has made
And the complications when I see his face
In the morning in the window

Oh the glory when he took our place
But he took my shoulders and he shook my face
And he takes and he takes and he takes
