Moving From Thanksgiving Into The Christmas Season

I Believe in Father Christmas
Emerson, Lake, and Palmer

They said there'll be snow at Christmas
They said there'll be peace on Earth
But instead it just kept on raining
A veil of tears for the Virgin's birth
I remember one Christmas morning
A winters light and a distant choir
And the peal of a bell and that Christmas Tree smell
And their eyes full of tinsel and fire

They sold me a dream of Christmas
They sold me a Silent Night
And they told me a fairy story
'Till I believed in the Israelite
And I believed in Father Christmas
And I looked at the sky with excited eyes
'Till I woke with a yawn in the first light of dawn
And I saw him and through his disguise

I wish you a hopeful Christmas
I wish you a brave New Year
All anguish pain and sadness
Leave your heart and let your road be clear
They said there'll be snow at Christmas
They said there'll be peace on Earth
Hallelujah Noel be it Heaven or Hell
The Christmas you get you deserve

"Together, Forever, Always"
LEANN RIMES

life can be distance between us
days even years could pass on
but the love that lies between us will
always be worth holdin' on

together forever always
from the dawn til the end
of each day no matter
how far away you are we're
together forever always

i could try to forget you but the
memories keep lingering on
but the dreams i dream about
you keep me holdin on

together forever always
from the dawn til the end
of each day no matter
how far away you are we're
together forever always

together forever always
from the dawn til the end
of each day no matter
how far away you are we're
together forever always
=====================================

"Broken Wing"

Today I watched a robin
In our front yard
I thought by now that they should all be gone.
With winter ‘round the corner
Snow on its way
Surely something must be wrong.
Then in that old oak tree I finally saw her
Where she sat gazing down upon her mate
And the song that she was singing
Seemed to say "I’ll be right here"
"I’d like to go, but your love’s made me stay."
He’s got a broken wing
And that’s why he can’t fly
She just can’t leave him there
So she stays by his side
They’re just like you and me
Oh you should’ve heard her sing
They won’t give up
It’s just a broken wing.
I wish we all could learn
What they seem to have found
To love our families
When trouble comes around
I’ll bet that God saw fit
To show them unto me
Him on the ground
Her in that tree.

"I Know Who Holds Tomorrow"

I don't know about tomorrow,
I just live from day to day.
And I don't borrow from its sunshine
'Cause the skies might turn to grey.
And I don't worry about the future,
'Cause I know what Jesus said,
And today I'm gonna walk right beside him
'Cause he's the one who knows what is ahead.
There are things about tomorrow
That I don't seem to understand
But I know who holds tomorrow
And I know who holds my hand.
And each step is getting brighter
As the golden stairs I climb.
And every burden is getting lighter
And all the clouds are silver lined.
And, over there the sun is always shining
And no tears will ever dim the eye
And the ending of the rainbow
Where the mountains, they touch the sky.
There are many things about tomorrow
I don't seem to understand
But I know who holds tomorrow
And I know who holds my hand.
Yes I know who holds my hand.

[Clear Skies]

I love this song - it always reminds me how beautiful life really is and how we shouldn't take it for granted.

Halo by Texas

Bright light city
You're her religion
Superstars in their own private movie
Play just like children
Lies that take her places she's never seen
The kiss and tell of it all
To her it seems so obscene
She's so pretty, her hair is a mess
We all love her, to that we confess

She has a halo
We really do adore her
She has a halo
Can we touch her?

For all the blindness
She sees much further
Like on the widescreen viewing
Going down on her
She's so pretty, her hair is a mess
We all love her
To that we confess

She has a halo
We really do adore her
For she has a halo
Can we touch her?

Halo
Halo

She varies with every day
She varies in everything in every day

She has a halo
We really do adore her
She has a halo
Can we touch her?


This one I included almost entirely for the humour value - it's fantastic

Chemistry by Semisonic

I remember when I found out about chemistry
It was a long, long way from here
I was old enough to want it but younger than I wanted to be
Suddenly my mission was clear

So for awhile I conducted experiments
And I was amazed by the things I learned
From a fine, fine girl with nothing but good intentions
And a bad tendency to get burned

Oh-oh, all about chemistry
Won't you show me everything you know
Oh-oh, wonder what you do to me
Oh-wo-oh-ohwo-oh

Some time later I meet a young graduate
When I had nobody to call my own
I told her I was looking for somebody to appreciate
And I just couldn't do it alone

So for awhile we conducted experiments
In an apartment by the River Road
And we found out that the two things we put together had
A bad tendency to explode

Oh-oh, all about chemistry
Won't you show me everything you've learned
I'll memorize everything you do to me so I can
Teach it when it comes my trun

Fine spring day, California waves
Sweet pacific scenes through the
Windows of air planes and hotel rooms

So when I find myself alone and unworthy
I think about all of the things I learned from the
Fine, fine woman with nothing but good intentions and
A bad tendency to get burned


And this one because it really spells out how I live...

This'll Be My Year by Semisonic

Thursday's crush is a Friday night rush
And a Monday morning cry
It's the tail that you keep chasing
And it gets away every time
New Year's eve and it's hard to believe
Another Zodiac's gone around
While you drank yourself high on hoping
And watched the ceiling spin from the ground

Counting down from ten it's time
To make your annual prayer
Secret Santa in the sky
When will I get my share

Then you tell yourself
What you want to hear
Cause you have to believe
This will be my year

Pound your fist and cross it off your list
But you know you're not that strong
When the man at the stop light catches you
Singing along to a brand new song

Well maybe it's trash
Or the overnight smash that brings your
Ship crashing through the wall
So you can make your grand departure
From a world getting way too small

One wheel in the ditch another
Spinning in the air
Put your pedal down to the floorboard but you're not
Getting anywhere

Then you tell yourself
What you want to hear
'Cause you have to believe
This will be my year

DOWN IN THE BOONDOCKS
Billy Joe Royal

Down in the boondocks
Down in the boondocks
People put me down 'cause
That's the side of town I was born in
I love her she loves me but I don't fit in her society
Lord have mercy on the boy from down in the boondocks

Ev'ry night I watch the lights from the house up on the hill
I love a little girl who lives up there and I guess I always will
But I don't dare knock on her door
'Cause her daddy is my boss man
So I have to try to be content
Just to see her when ever I can

Down in the boondocks
Down in the boondocks
People put me down 'cause
That's the side of town I was born in
I love her she loves me but I don't fit in her society
Lord have mercy on the boy from down in the boondocks

Down in the boondocks
Down in the boondocks

One fine day I'll find the way to move from this old shack
I'll hold my head up like a king and I never never will look back
Until that morning I'll work and slave
And I'll save ev'ry dime
But tonight she'll have to steal away
To see me one more time

Down in the boondocks
Down in the boondocks
People put me down 'cause
That's the side of town I was born in
I love her she loves me but I don't fit in her society
Lord have mercy on the boy from down in the boondocks
Lord have mercy on the boy from down in the boondocks
Lord have mercy on the boy from down in the boondocks

Rise by Gabrielle

I know that it's over
But I can't believe we're through
They say that time's a healer
And I'm better without you
It's gonna take time, I know
But I'll get over you

Look in my life
Look in my heart
I have seen them fall apart
And now I'm ready to rise again
Just look in my hopes
Look in my dreams
Building bridges from these scenes
Now I'm ready to rise again

Caught up in my thinking, yeah
Like a prisoner in my mind
You pose so many questions
That the truth is hard to find
I'd better think twice, I know
Then I'll get over you

Look in my life
Look in my heart
I have seen them fall apart
And now I'm ready to rise again
Just look in my hopes
Look in my dreams
Building bridges from these scenes
Now I'm ready to rise again

Much time has passed between us
Do you still think of me at all?
My world of broken promises
Now you won't catch me when I fall

Look in my life
Look in my heart
I have seen them fall apart
And now I'm ready to rise again
Just look in my hopes
Look in my dreams
Building bridges from these scenes
Now I'm ready to rise again

Yes I'm gonna rise
Gonna make it all right
I'm gonna be who I wanna be
I'm gonna make it all right

Stevie Nicks

For all the dm's and Tia's just fighting through life:

That Made me Stronger

Dreams reoccur in my solitude
Breaking my heart
Injuring my mood
With all of the things that I thought I knew
It was you

Chorus:
Well the conversation rings in my head
Well you know me better than I know myself
Will you write this for me
He says no, you write your songs yourself
That made me stronger
It made me hold on to me

Well, I remember
You caught my eye
It was late September
It was no surprise
He made me better
His songs were soft and tender sometimes

Well the conversations ring in my head
I remember everything that we said
All those tears that we shed

The conversations ring in my head
I remember everything that we said
All those tears that we shed
Don't call me when you're lonely

Well once more I tell the shadows of my soul
To stay back
Everything has changed now
And I don't want to go back
And nothing you can say can change my mind

Well once more I tell the shadows of my soul
To stay back
Everything has changed now
And I don't want to go back
And nothing you can say can change my mind


Too Far From Texas

There's a plane, it's headed for London
Twenty-four hours more and he'll be on it
And I can't show my love, and I can't stop it
Ooh, I can't stop it

There's a house there, somebody's waiting
Somebody else's arms will wrap around him
And in that moment what will he think then...
When I can't touch him

Chorus:
Maybe my love could fly over the ocean
Maybe my heart should try to leave him alone
All that I really know is that he's goin'
Too far from Texas
Too close to home

In a room just outside of Houston
That's where I spend my nights trying to get through to him
He says he's comin' back in every letter...
But he might never
No he might never

Does he know how long
I've waited for this love to come
Does he know I'm holdin' on
And that won't change no matter where he's gone

Couldn't I, couldn't I wait
Couldn't he, couldn't he stay one more day

[SlowwHand]

Stevie Nicks rocks, doesn't she?
It still pisses me off though that she threw it all away with Lindsey Buckingham.
It's as though she had to have "artist's suffering" or something.

oh yeah

i love her and i like Fleetwood Mac alot. What do you think about her alliance with SHeryl Crow and Sarah MAcLaughlin. Her cameo on the "Bootylicious" video of Destiny's Child didn't impress me though.

Whenever i Call You Friend by Stevie Nicks and Kenny Loggins

Whenever I call you friend
I begin to think I understand
Anything we are
You and I have always been ever and ever


I see myself within your eyes
And that's all I need to show me why
Everything I do, always takes me home to you
Ever and ever


Now I know my life has given me
More than memories
Day by day we can see
In every moment there's a reason to carry on


Sweet love showin' us a heavenly light
I've never seen such a beautiful sight
Sweet love flowin' almost every night
I know forever we'll be doin' it...right


Whenever I call you friend
I believe I've come to understand
Everywhere we are you and I were meant to be
Forever and ever


I think about the times to come
Knowin' I will be the lucky one
Ever our love will last
I always want to call you friend


Sweet love...sweet love
You're the glowing light in my life
The source of pride in my life
Everything I do takes me back to you

[SlowwHand]

She interrelates well with them.
If you have the chance, get or watch The Dance video.

Blues Power
by Eric Clapton and Leon Russell

Bet you didn't think I knew how to rock 'n' roll.
Oh, I got the boogie-woogie right down in my very soul.
There ain't no need for me to be a wallflower,
'Cause now I'm living on blues power.

I knew all the time but now I'm gonna let you know:
I'm gonna keep on rocking, no matter if it's fast or slow.
Ain't gonna stop until the twenty-fifth hour,
'Cause now I'm living on blues power.

First Verse

Talking to you, now.
The boogie's gonna pull me through.
Keep on, keep on, keep on keeping on.
Keep on keeping on, keep on keeping on.

[devilmunchkin]

Lateralus by Tool

Black then white are all I see in my infancy.
Red and yellow then came to be, reaching out to me.
Lets me see.
As below, so above and beyond, I imagine
Drawn beyond the lines of reason.
Push the envelope. Watch it burn.

Over thinking, over analyzing separates the body from the mind.
Withering my intuition, missing opportunities and I must
Feed my will to feel my moment drawing way outside the lines.

Black then white are all i see in my infancy.
Red and yellow then came to be, reaching out to me.
Lets me see there is so much more and
Beckons me to look thru to these infinite possibilities.
As below, so above and beyond, I imagine
Drawn beyond the lines of reason.
Push the envelope. Watch it bend.

Over thinking, over analyzing separates the body from the mind.
Withering my intuition leaving all these opportunities behind.
Feed my will to feel this moment urging me to cross the line.
Reaching out to embrace the random.
Reaching out to embrace whatever may come.

I embrace my desire to
Feel the rhythm, to feel connected enough to step aside and weep like a widow
To weep like a widow, to fathom the power, to witness the beauty,
To bathe in the fountain,
To swing on the spiral of our divinity and still be a human.

With my feet upon the ground I lose myself
Between the sounds and open wide to suck it in.
I feel it move across my skin.
I'm reaching up and reaching out.
I'm reaching for the random or what ever will bewilder me.
And following our will and wind we may just go where no one's been.
We'll ride the spiral to the end and may just go where no one's been.
Spiral out. Keep going.

Tainted Love by Soft Cell

Sometimes I feel I've got to
Run away I've got to
Get away
From the pain that you drive into the heart of me
The love we share
Seems to go nowhere
And I've lost my light
For I toss and turn I can't sleep at night

(chorus)
Once I ran to you (I ran)
Now I'll run from you
This tainted love you've given
I give you all a boy could give you
Take my tears and that's not nearly all
Oh...tainted love
Tainted love

Now I know I've got to
Run away I've got to
Get away
You don't really want IT any more from me
To make things right
You need someone to hold you tight
And you'LL think love is to pray
But I'm sorry I don't pray that way

Don't touch me please
I cannot stand the way you tease
I love you though you hurt me so
Now I'm going to pack my things and go
Tainted love, tainted love
Touch me baby, tainted love
Tainted love
