Current mood:

sleepy

Weak weak weak (for updating, I mean)
This song gets me EVERY single time... So go listen to it. But I have to warn you: you WILL cry. At least you will unless you're completely heartless! Eh, so maybe two of the ten I know read this will cry. Haha.

If it's too much trouble for you to go to the page and listen to the song (it should be the first one that plays, but in case they change their songs, it's called 'Moments'), at least read the lyrics.



Moments - EMERSON DRIVE
(Annie Tate/Sam Tate/Dave Berg)

I was coming to the end of a long, long walk
When a man crawled out of a cardboard box
Under the E. Street Bridge
Followed me on to it
I went out halfway across
With that homeless shadow tagging along
So I dug for some change
Wouldn't need it anyway
He took it lookin' just a bit ashamed
He said, "You know, I haven't always been this way

I've had my moments, days in the sun
Moments I was second to none
Moments when I knew I did what I thought I couldn't do
Like that plane ride coming home from the war
That summer my son was born
And memories like a coat so warm
A cold wind can't get through
Lookin' at me now you might not know it
But I've had my moments"

I stood there tryin' to find my nerve
Wondering if a single soul on Earth
Would care at all
Miss me when I'm gone
That old man just kept hanging around
Lookin' at me, lookin' down
I think he recognized
That look in my eyes
Standing with him there I felt ashamed
I said, "You know, I haven't always felt this way

I've had my moments, days in the sun
Moments I was second to none
Moments when I knew I did what I thought I couldn't do
Like the day I walked away from the wine
For a woman who became my wife
And a love that, when it was right,
Could always see me through
Lookin' at me now you might not know it
But I've had my moments"

I know somewhere 'round a trashcan fire tonight
That old man tells his story one more time
He says

"I've had my moments, days in the sun
Moments I was second to none
Moments when I knew I did what I thought I couldn't do
Like that cool night on the E. Street Bridge
When a young man almost ended it
I was right there, wasn't scared a bit
And I helped to pull him through
Lookin' at me now you might not know it
Oh, lookin' at me now you might not know it
But I've had my moments"

I've had my moments
I've had my moments

While you're there, you should also listen to Fall Into Me. It's a song I used to dream someone would dedicate to me someday, before I fell in love with a guy who doesn't like country. : P

Here's a piece, just in case you don't obey my command that you listen to the song:


I'll follow any road anywhere to get to you
I'll open up my soul
If that's what you need me to do
But now, baby, it's your move
All you've got to do
Is believe in love, just believe in us, now

I need you to know you can fall into me
That my arms are wide open
And will always be
Right here waiting, staying strong
Come and fall into me

Just believe in love
Just believe in us
Baby, fall into me


I love Seth. And yes, I know it's pretty sickening. I get sicked out about it myself. Ooey gooey mushy gushy sitting-in-a-tree l.o.v.e is something I still kind of think was only meant for other people... but here I am.

It's moving day for Beth and Cody today, and I promised I'd go out to Mesa and help. I have to be up by seven, and I will be doing manual labor allllll day. Why the CRAP am I awake right now, is a good question. I'm glad you asked it. Unfortunately, I have no answer for that. Except that I was busy working on my skills, I guess. [David: skills being what you saw evidenced in the post I linked you to.]

I once got a fortune cookie that said, "Your winsome smile will be your sure protection." Ha! My smile is winsome! How 'bout that? I'm going to bed, where I know I'll be safe, as long as I keep smiling.

Love yous! ♥
