YAY! I finally made it through the communication hoops in eHarmony and spoke with Craig on the phone this weekend. It was what I hoped it would be. He’s quite intelligent. He’s probably the first man I’ve been in communication with in a long time that can hold his own and who I actually feel a little intimidated by. I find myself wondering if I’ll be able to keep up with him and I LOVE IT. Plus, his voice was sweet and sexy on the phone. I’m especially impressed at how slow moving he is toward this whole thing. I’m glad that we’re just talking and getting to know each other first.

I must mention, however, when I got off the phone … this song is what was playing in my head. LOL. How funny. I’m trying very hard to keep myself level-headed about this whole thing but I did think it was humorous that ABBA popped into my thoughts like it did. I know that there are a lot of frogs before you find your prince and I know better than to get too excited so early in the game but I just thought you’d enjoy this bit of news. We’ll talk again this week and he asked me if I would be interested in meeting up this coming weekend so I’ll keep y’all posted.

Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!

Half past twelve
And I’m watching the late show in my flat all alone
How I hate to spend the evening on my own
Autumn winds
Blowing outside my window as I look around the room
And it makes me so depressed to see the gloom
There’s not a soul out there
No one to hear my prayer

Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Won’t somebody help me chase the shadows away
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day

Movie stars
Find the end of the rainbow, with a fortune to win
It’s so different from the world I’m living in
Tired of T.V.
I open the window and I gaze into the night
But there’s nothing there to see, no one in sight
There’s not a soul out there
No one to hear my prayer

Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Won’t somebody help me chase the shadows away
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day

Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight…
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight…

There’s not a soul out there
No one to hear my prayer

Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Won’t somebody help me chase the shadows away
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Won’t somebody help me chase the shadows away
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day

Daughter

Thought y’all would enjoy a little music on this fine Saturday. Although this song is NOWHERE online unfortunately… I’m still posting the lyrics so you can sing along. I’ve always loved the words… there is such great meaning in this song and it’s perfectly fitting for the journey I’m on. So, even though I can’t upload a video for you I can at least share a clip of this song so you get the idea. Hope you have a fantastic weekend!

Daughter by Bread

Daughter - don't give your love to the first man you see.
Just bide your time so your heart will be free to find the one,
Girl you don't have to run. 

Daughter - don't think that love has gone out of style,
Just some folks every once in a while don't understand
How this world was planned. 

Now I know you're wondering how
You know when the real thing is comin' your way,
When you live for him and not you
You'll know that it's truly comin' to stay. 

Daughter - I know it's hard to make yourself wait,
But when the right man comes it's never too late
So don't you cry ,
He'll be here by and by... and steal your heart away.

this one is for my girls…

I Do Not Hook Up lyrics


Oh, sweetheart put the bottle down, you’ve got too much talent
I see you through those bloodshot eyes
There’s a cure, you’ve found it

Slow motion sparks, you’ve caught that chill, now don’t deny it
But boys will be boys, oh, yes they will
They don’t wanna define it

Just give up the game and get into me
If you’re looking for thrills then get cold feet

Oh, no I do not hook up, up I go slow
So if you want me I don’t come cheap
Keep your head on my hand and your heart on your sleeve

Oh, no I do not hook up, up I fall deep
‘Cause the more that you try the harder I’ll fight to say goodnight

I can’t cook, no but I can clean up the mess you left
Lay your head down and feel the beat as I kiss your forehead
This may not last but this is now so love the one you’re with

You wanna chase but you’re chasin’ your tail
A quick fix won’t ever get you well

Oh, no I do not hook up, up I go slow
So if you want me I don’t come cheap
Keep your head on my hand and your heart on your sleeve

Oh, no I do not hook up, up I fall deep
‘Cause the more that you try the harder I’ll fight to say

‘Cause I feel the distance between us
Could be over with the snap of your finger, oh, no

Oh, no I do not hook up, up I go slow
So if you want me I don’t come cheap
Keep your head on my hand and your heart on your sleeve

Oh, no I do not hook up, up I fall deep
‘Cause the more that you try the harder I’ll fight to say
‘Cause the more that you try the harder I’ll fight to say goodnight

Oh, sweetheart put the bottle down ’cause you don’t wanna miss out

ABBAFernando (In honor of Cinco De Mayo today)

Can you hear the drums Fernando?
I remember long ago another starry night like this
In the firelight Fernando
You were humming to yourself and softly strumming your guitar
I could hear the distant drums
And sounds of bugle calls were coming from afar

They were closer now Fernando
Every hour every minute seemed to last eternally
I was so afraid Fernando
We were young and full of life and none of us prepared to die
And I’m not ashamed to say
The roar of guns and cannons almost made me cry

There was something in the air that night, the stars were bright, Fernando
They were shining there for you and me for liberty, Fernando
Though we never thought that we could lose, there’s no regret
If I had to do the same again, I would my friend, Fernando
If I had to do the same again, I would my friend, Fernando

Now we’re old and gray Fernando
Since many years I haven’t seen a rifle in your hand
Can you hear the drums Fernando?
Do you still recall the faithful night we crossed the Rio Grande?
I can see it in your eyes
How proud you were to fight for freedom in this land

There was something in the air that night, the stars were bright, Fernando
They were shining there for you and me for liberty, Fernando
Though we never thought that we could lose, there’s no regret
If I had to do the same again, I would my friend, Fernando

There was something in the air that night, the stars were bright, Fernando
They were shining there for you and me for liberty, Fernando
Though we never thought that we could lose, there’s no regret
If I had to do the same again, I would my friend, Fernando
Yes if I had to do the same again, I would my friend, Fernando
If I had to do the same again, I would my friend, Fernando

ExileKiss You All Over

When I get home, babe
Gonna light your fire
All day
I’ve been thinkin’ about you, babe
You’re my one desire

Gonna wrap my arms around you
Hold you close to me
Oh, babe I wanna taste your lips
I wanna fill your fantasy, yeah

I don’t what I’d do without you, babe
Don’t know where I’d be
You’re not just another lover
No, you’re everything to me

Ev’rytime I’m with you, baby
I can’t believe it’s true
When you’re layin’ in my arms
We do the things you do

You can see it in my eyes
I can feel it in your touch
You don’t have to say a thing
Just let me show how much
Love you, need you, yeah

I wanna kiss you all over
And over again
I wanna kiss you all over
Till the night closes in
Till the night closes in

Stay with me, lay with me
Holding me, loving me, baby
Here with me, near with me
Feeling you close to me, baby

So show me, show me ev’rything you do
‘Cause baby no one does it quite like you
Love you, need you,
Oh, babe

Todd RundgrenHello It’s Me

Hello, it’s me
I’ve thought about us for a long, long time
Maybe I think too much but something’s wrong
There’s something here that doesn’t last too long
Maybe I shouldn’t think of you as mine

Seeing you
Or seeing anything as much as I do you
I take for granted that you’re always there
I take for granted that you just don’t care
Sometimes I can’t help seeing all the way through

It’s important to me
That you know you are free
‘Cause I never want to make you change for me

Think of me
You know that I’d be with you if I could
I’ll come around to see you once in a while
Or if I ever need a reason to smile
And spend the night if you think I should

It’s important to me
That you know you are free
‘Cause I never want to make you change for me

Think of me
You know that I’d be with you if I could
I’ll come around to see you once in a while
Or if I ever need a reason to smile
And spend the night if you think I should

Think of me…
Think of me…
Think of me

Seals And CroftsSummer Breeze

See the curtains hangin’ in the window
in the evenin’ on a Friday night
A little light a-shinin’ through the window
lets me know everything is alright

(chorus)
Summer breeze
makes me feel fine
blowing through the jasmine in my mind
Summer breeze
makes me feel fine
blowing through the jasmine in my mind

See the paper layin’ on the sidewalk
a little music from the house next door
So I walked on up to the doorstep
through the screen and across the floor

(chorus)

Sweet days of summer
the jasmine’s in bloom
July is dressed up
and playing her tune

And I come home
from a hard day’s work
and you’re waiting there
not a care in the world

See the smile a-waitin’ in the kitchen
food cookin’ and the plates for two
Feel the arms that reach out to hold me
in the evening when the day is through

(chorus)

Peter FramptonDo You Feel Like We Do

Well, woke up this morning with a wine glass in my hand.
Whose wine? What wine? Where the hell did I dine?
Must have been a dream I don’t believe where I’ve been.
Come on, let’s do it again.

Do you…you, feel like I do?
How’d ya feel?
Do you…you, feel like I do?

My friend got busted, just the other day.
They said,”Don’t walk, don’t walk, don’t walk away.”
Drove him to a taxi, bent the boot, hit the bag.
Had to play some music, wonder why’s he [brag or drag].

Do you…you, feel like I do?
How’d ya [turns from mic, can't catch it]?
Do you…you, feel like I…

[1st guitar solo]

Do you…you, feel like I do?
Yes ya do.
Do you…you, feel like I do?

Champagne for breakfast and a Sherman in my hand.
Peached up, Peached Ale, never fails.
Must have been a dream I don’t believe where I’ve been.
Come on, let’s do it again.

Do you…you, feel like I do?
How’d ya feel?
Do you…you, feel like I…

[keyboard solo]

Do you feel like we do?
Do you feel like we do?
Oh, that’s true.
Do you feel like we do?
Get back.
Do you feel..do you feel like we do?

[2nd guitar solo]

Oh baby do you feel?
Oh baby do you feel, feel like we do?
Do you feel…do you feel…like we do?
I want to thank you.
Do you feel like we do?
That’s alright, that’s alright to feel you’d like,
Feel you’d like, a good time.
We’ll goto bed and good night.
Good night, good night, good night, good night, good night

Sanford Townsend Band – Smoke From A Distant Fire

You left me here on your way to paradise
You pulled the rug right out from under my life
I know where you goin' to I knew when you came home last night
'Cause your eyes had a mist from the smoke of a distant fire

Lord, I was stung shoulda seen it come a long time ago
When I realized the reality gave me a roll
If things are the same then explain why your kiss is so cold
And that mist in your eyes feels like rain on the fire in my soul

This lying, and cryin's upsettin' and getting no where
It don't stack up, so slack up and pack up, I just don't care
Don't let the screen door hit you, on your way out
Don't you drown when your dream boat runs onto the ground

I'd just like to know do you love him or just making time
By filling his glass with your fast flowing bitter-sweet lies
He'll face the after taste when you come home late some night
With your eyes all a mist from the smoke of a distant fire

Girl your eyes have a mist from the smoke of a distant fire
Well your eyes have a mist from the smoke of a distant fire
Your eyes have the mist from the smoke of a distant fire
Well your eyes have a mist from the smoke of a distant fire
Oh girl your eyes have a mist from the smoke of a distant fire
Mist in your eyes from a distant fire
Girl your eyes have a mist from the smoke of a distant
A distant fire
