DAY FIFTEEN
Favorite Song Lyrics
(this is changed from favorite Bible verse, because I don’t have one)
I have a LOT of favorite song lyrics. . . .A LOT. Here are a few verses from a few different songs that have meant different things to me at different times. . .
“Sometimes people leave you, halfway through the wood. Do not let it grieve, you decide what’s good. You decide alone, but no one is alone. You move just a finger, say the slightest word. . .something’s bound to linger, be heard.” –Into the Woods (musical)
“When the weight of the world can be a heavy load, I’ll stay with you, here on the road.” –Sister Hazel
“When you’re weary, when you’re feeling small. When tears are in your eyes, I will dry them all. I’m on your side, oh, when times get rough and friends just can’t be found. Like a bridge over troubled water, I will lay me down.” –Simon and Garfunkel
“When the road gets dark, and you can no longer see. . . just let my love through a spark, and have a little faith in me. When the tears you cry are all you can believe, just give these loving arms a try and have a little faith in me.” –John Hiatt
“No one could ever know me, no one could ever see me
Since you’re the only one who knows what it’s like to be me
Someone to face the day with, make it through all the rest with
Someone I’ll always laugh with..
Even at my worst, I’m best with you, yeah..” -The Rembrandts
“May your tears come from laughing, you find friends worth having, with every year passing they mean more than gold. May you win, but stay humble…smile more than you grumble, and know when you stumble, you’re never alone.” –Jim Brickman (with Lady Antebellum)
“For the morning sun in all it’s glory, greets the day with hope and comfort too. You fill my life with laughter, and somehow you make it better, ease my troubles that’s what you do.” –Rod Stewart
And in honor of the 2 year anniversary of our engagement… here are the lyrics that I walked down the “aisle” to… to my husband, to my future. Love you, Casey.
“Lift up your head
Focus on every detail
Why does this illusion
Bring so much confusion
When all I can dream of is you?
Lift up your head
We’re rising with every breath
A liquid solution, a chemical fusion
And all I can dream of is you
Constantly feeling the earth spinning around
But I’m standing alone
With you I see stars in your eyes
In a trance I’m so high
With you I survive
Let’s get away now
Imagine there’s no one around
Imagine you’re not just a face in the crowd
There’s a new set of rules
No more pain or confusion
You’re numb to the world that you know
I’m constantly feeling
Like nothing’s bringing me down
‘Cause you’re always around
With you I see stars in your eyes
In a trance we’re alive
Ten feet off of the ground
Let’s turn it up now
I got you
I got you
I got you
It’s ready for you
Lift up your head
It’s amazing where everyone
Goes in the end
Why does this illusion
Bring so much confusion
When all I can dream of is you?
I’m on the ground
I’m off the ground
Ten feet off (when I’m with you)
Ten feet off (when I’m with you)
I could be true with you
I could be through with you
Don’t you get it? We’re alive
Completely out of sight
We’re running out of time
With love we can survive
Don’t you get it we’re alive
Completely out of sight
With love we will survive”
—Flickerstick
