You Never Gave Up On Me (Crystal Gayle)

"You never gave up on me

When I was giving love up on you

Every time I thought this love can't work

You stayed to see it through

You never gave up on me

When  I was making things rough on you

And you showed me

What it really means to love somebody..."
[You Never Gave Up On Me by Crystal Gale (1982)]

Have a lovely Musical Monday...

Through The Rain (Mariah Carey)

Here's a song that speaks of faith... 

No matter what the obstacle is, 

one who perseveres shall prevail... 

Have a Musical Monday! 

THROUGH THE RAIN
Mariah Carey

When you get caught in the rain

With nowhere to run

When you are distraught and in pain

Without anyone,

When you keep crying out to be saved

But nobody comes

And you feel so far away

That you just can't find your way home

You can get there alone it's okay

once you say.

I can make it through the rain

I can stand up once again

On my own and I know

That I'm strong enough to mend

And everytime I feel afraid

I hold tighter to my faith

And I live one more day

And I make it through the rain.

And if you keep falling down

Don't you dare give in

You will arise safe and sound

So keep pressing on steadfastly

And you'll find what you'll need to prevail

Once you say.

I can make it through the rain

I can stand up once again

On my own and I know

That I'm strong enough to mend

And everytime I feel afraid

I hold tighter to my faith

And I live one more day

And I make it through the rain.

And when the wind blows

And shadows grow close

Don't be afraid

There's nothing you can't face

And should they tell you

You'll never pull through

Don't hesitate, stand tall and say

I can make it through the rain

I can stand up once again

On my own and I know

That I'm strong enough to mend

And everytime I feel afraid

I hold tighter to my faith

And I live one more day

And I make it through the rain

Turn Back The Clock (Johnny Hates Jazz)

If you were to live your life again,

what would you change?

Another day is ended

And I still can't sleep

Remembering my yesterdays

I begin to weep

If I could have it over

Live my life again

I wouldn't change a single day

(Chorus)

I wish that I could

turn back the clock

Bring the wheels of time to a stop

Back to the days when life

was so much better

Lying here in silence

Picture in my hand

Of a boy I still resemble

But I no longer understand

And as the tears run freely

How I realise they

were the best years of

my life

(Chorus)

You might say it's just

A case of giving up

No

But without these memories

where is the love

Where is the love

If I could have it over

Live my life again

I wouldn't change a single day

(Chorus)

Why can't I turn back the clock

Bring the wheels of time to a stop

Back to the days

Oh no no

I remember when

Life was so good

I'd go back if I could

Oh oh I wouldn't

change a single day

Don't let the memories slip away

I wouldn't change a single day

Don't let the memories slip away

The Road Ahead

a time to reflect

severed ties there were many

what has gone awry?

a year marked by pain

perhaps the one ahead holds

a better promise...

that of beginnings

instead of tearful endings

long-lasting friendships

The Magic Within

n
o 

spell or
potion  or
chant can
bring romance

into your

life

b
u
t
dreams do come true
and true love happens
let go of painful past
and open your heart
love begins when you
allow yourself to live
free of restraint or 

rules dictated upon

you by other people

it is only when you

learn to love, honor

and cherish yourself

that the magical sparkle

of love truly glistens

it is only then that

your own inner light

shall shine brightly

opening up yourself 

to a beautiful and 

powerful connection 

with another human 

............being.............

"Loving yourself is the best way to learn how to love."

"There's a spark of magic in your eyes
Candyland appears each time you smile
Never thought that fairy tales came true
But they come true when I'm near you

You're a genie in disguise
Full of wonder and surprise and...

 Betcha by golly wow
You're the one that I've been waiting for... forever
And ever will my love for you keep growing strong
Keep growing strong...."

Musical Monday... What Moves You?

I just got back from my two-weeks-break and my heart is so full of love and gratitude right now. This song says it all...

Thanks To You by Tyler Collins

Thank you...
For teaching me how to live
Putting things in perspective
Teaching me how to give
And how to take...

Thanks to you!
