Keith's Newest!

I love Keith Urban (shocker I know)! I heard this song again today on my way home from today and just knew I just had to post it. Just one of those songs you just have to blast and sing at the top of your lungs.

"Put you in a song"




Well here you come again and you're lookin' so fine
You don't notice me but it's alright
I'm just a guy who wishes that I could be your man someday
Yeah a picture paints a thousand words it's true
But it's still not enough for how I feel about you
I wanna put you in a melody, I gotta set you to a groove

I wanna put you in my car and drive
And turn you up loud, roll down all the windows and shout it out
I love this girl oh
If I could press play, repeat how happy I'd be
Wherever I'd go I'd have you there with me
You'd be right where you belong
I wanna put you in a song, oh oh oh

Well I'd sing about your smile and your pretty blue eyes
The way your hair shimmers in the sunlight
It'd be so easy I'd just write it from my heart
'Cause I gotta tell the world what you mean to me
Wrap you up in a melody so you'll be
Stuck in my head all day
'Cause you're already there anyway, yes you are

I wanna put you in my car and drive
And turn you up loud, roll down all the windows and shout it out
I love this girl
If I could press play, repeat how happy I'd be
Wherever I'd go I'd have you there with me
You'd be right where you belong
I wanna put you in a song

And if I get it right everybody'd be singing along yeah
And when they see you on the street they'll say
Hey ain't you the girl in that song

I wanna put you in my car and drive
And turn you up loud, roll down all the windows and shout it out
I'm in love with this girl
Yeah if I could press play, rewind a couple million times
Imagine for a moment that you're all mine
Every night I'd drive you home
If I could put you in a
Let me put you in a song
Let me put you in a song
Oh a pretty little song about you baby

A Night of Music Awaits...

The night has finally come! Jared and I are going to a Brad Paisley concert tonight. He is here with so many great artists, I'm stoked! He is here with Darius Rucker and Justin Moore. Then there is The Water World Plaza Stage with Easton Corbin (the man sounds like George Strait but is like 20 years younger, I love him), Steel Magnolia and Josh Thompson.

It's gonna be an amazing night. SO EXCITED! Plus I get to go with my fiance!

Petals back on the Rose

So I am in love with Jaron and the Long Road to Love! This song called "Petals back on the Rose" really hit me hard.

As I was trying to get a video for this song, I came across this one. I love how Jaron put what this song is really about.



Petals back on the Rose






These days when we say goodnight
We're lying facing our own side
Wondering if we're in the right bed.
We've gotten used to all the fighting
I walk out, you start crying
And neither one of us knows what we said.

But all that's gonna change from right now on
I won't give up until we're back in love.

Can we put the petals back on the rose?
It's been you and me and this stem of thorns from a long time of lows.
Sadness and frustration.
Sometimes that's how it goes.
But baby tonight I start to put the petals back on the rose.

I haven't been the man I promised I'd be
To fight for us and not for me
Every choice I made pushed you away
And I don't wanna let you go
Because I didn't do all I know
To make you happy once again and stay, stay, stay

And all that's gonna change from right now on
I won't give up until you're back in love.

Can we put the petals back on the rose?
It's been you and me and this stem of thorns from a long time of lows.
Sadness and frustration.
Sometimes that's how it goes.
But baby tonight I start to put the petals back on the rose.

I realize it takes more than just wanting it
But with a little work we don't have to quit
Baby please, please.
Help me lift us out and put the petals back on the rose.
It's been you and me and this stem of thorns from a long time of lows.
Sadness and frustration.
Sometimes that's how it goes.
But baby tonight I start, yeah I'll win your heart
And I'll do my part to put the petals back on the rose.

Kissing you

I hear this song almost everyday when I am at work. And once I really listened to it, it hit me. Love it!



Sparks fly
Its like electricity
I might die
When I forget how to breath
You get closer and there’s
No where in this world I’d rather be
Time stops
Like everything around me
Its frozen
And nothing matters but these
Few moments when you open my mind to things
I’ve never seen

Cause when I’m kissing you
My senses come alive
Almost like the puzzle piece
I’ve been trying to find
Falls right into place
You’re all that it takes
My doubts fade away
When I’m kissing you

When I’m kissing you
It all starts making sense
And all the questions
I’ve been asking in my head
Like are you the one should I really trust
Crystal clear it becomes
When I’m kissing you

Past loves
They never got very far
Walls of made sure
I’ve got in my heart
And I promise I wouldn’t do this till
I knew it was right for me

But no one (no one)
No guy that I met before
Could make me (make me)
Feel so right and secure
And have you noticed
I lose my focus
And the world around me disappears

Cause when I’m kissing you
My senses come alive
Almost like the puzzle piece
I’ve been trying to find
Falls right into place
You’re all that it takes
My doubts fade away
When I’m kissing you

When I’m kissing you
It all starts making sense
And all the questions
I’ve been asking in my head
Like are you the one should I really trust
Crystal clear it becomes
When I’m kissing you

I’ve never felt nothing like this
You’re making me open up
No point in even trying to fight this
It kinda feels like it’s love

Cause when I’m kissing you
My senses come alive
Almost like the puzzle piece
I’ve been trying to find
Falls right into place
You’re all that it takes
My doubts fade away
When I’m kissing you

When I’m kissing you
It all starts making sense
And all the questions
I’ve been asking in my head
Like are you the one should I really trust
How clear it becomes
When I’m kissing you

She's Every Woman

Jared heard only heard one line from this song, so he sent it to me. I eventually figured out it is from "She's every woman" by Garth Brooks. Love this song. And I am pretty sure this is what Jared would say about me. Oh how I love him.

(Couldn't get a video worth sharing I'm afraid)

She's sun and rain, she's fire and ice
A little crazy but it's nice
And when she gets mad, you best leave her alone
'Cause she'll rage just like a river
Then she'll beg you to forgive her
She's every woman that I've ever known.

She's so New York and then L.A.
And every town along the way
She's every place that I've never been
She's makin love on rainy nights
She's a stroll through Christmas lights
And she's everything I want to do again.

It needs no explanation
'Cause it all makes perfect sense
For when it comes down to temptation
She's on both sides of the fence.

No it needs no explanation
'Cause it all makes perfect sense
When it comes down to temptation
She's on both sides of the fence.

She's anything but typical
She's so unpredictable
Oh but even at her worst she ain't that bad
She's as real as real can be
And she's every fantasy
Lord she's every lover that I've ever had
And she's every lover that I've never had

Here Without You

I heard this one play on my mp3 player the other day. It hit me like a ton of bricks. It really hits home. All of it.




A hundred days have made me older
Since the last time that I saw your pretty face
A thousand lies have made me colder
And I don't think I can look at this the same
But all the miles that separate
Disappear now when I'm dreaming of your face

I'm here without you baby
But you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby
And I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you baby
But you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight it's only you and me

The miles just keep rollin'
As the people leave their way to say hello
I've heard this life is overrated
But I hope that it gets better as we go

I'm here without you baby
But you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby
And I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you baby
But you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight girl its only you and me

Everything I know, and anywhere I go
It gets hard but it wont take away my love
And when the last one falls
When it's all said and done
It gets hard but it wont take away my love

I'm here without you baby
But you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby
And I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you baby
But you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight girl its only you and me

Look at Me...

I LOVE this song!



I would bet my life, like I bet my heart
That you were the one, baby
I've never been so sure of anything before
You're driving my heart crazy

I can't hold out, I can't hold back now
Like I've done before

Darling, look at me
I've fallen like a fool for you
Darling, can't you see
I'd do anything you want me to

I tell myself I'm in too deep
Then I fall a little farther
Everytime you look at me

How do you do that, babe?
Make me feel like I'm the only girl alive for you
I don't know what it is that makes me fall like this
First time in your arms, I knew

The way you held me, I knew that this could be
What I've been waiting to find

Darling, look at me
I've fallen like a fool for you
Darling, can't you see
I'd do anything you want me to

I tell myself I'm getting in too deep
Then I fall a little farther
Everytime you look at me

Everytime you look at me

Quitter

I pulled out my Carrie Underwood "Play On" CD today. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this song!



Here's how it goes
Boy meets girl, girl leaves boy
That's all I know
All I've done, all my life

'Cause throughout history
I've only been with jerks
Who couldn't take it
But you see the picket fence
the swing on the front porch
With us two on it

When I believe that nothing lasts forever
You stay with me, keeping us together
And make me feel like I never ever wanna give you up
'Til now, I've always been a quitter

You rescued me
Saved my life just in time
Saw past all my issues and scars
And made me try

'Cause oh, the way you're kissing me
Makes it hard to breathe
But I still like it
Oh oh, it truly feels like a dream
You know exactly how I want it

I believe that nothing lasts forever
You stay with me, keeping us together
And make me feel like I never ever wanna give you up
'Til now, I've always been a quitter

I've always been a quitter

When I believe that nothing lasts forever
You stay with me, keeping us together
And make me feel like I never ever wanna give you up
'Til now, I've always been a quitter

I've always been a quitter

"Consider me Gone" (in a whole new light)

Before you jump to any conclusions about why I posted this song, let me explain. I heard this song on the radio the other day and couldn't get the chorus out of my head.

If I'm not the one thing you can't stand to lose

If I'm not that arrow to the heart of you

If you don't get drunk on my kiss

If you think you can do better than this,

Then I guess we're done

Let's not drag this on

Consider me gone

These words made me think. I thought about whether he is the one thing I can't stand to lose, whether I get drunk on his kiss, and most of all if I think I can do better than this. I've thought about it a lot, and haven't completely gotten answers but I know they will come.

While I was listening to it again today, these words really stood out to me.

Consider me a memory.

Consider me the past.

Consider me a smile in an old photograph someone who used to make you laugh.

I don't want him to be a memory or the past, I've already got plenty of people who can be that. But most of all I really don't want him to be a smile in a photograph or someone who used to make me laugh.

SO even though I don't have all the answers that I want now, I know they will come. And until they do, I will keep what I have because I know I don't want him out of my life.

I Keep On Lovin You

I put this on my "Forever" playlist and for the first time I really listened to it. I love this song.

I Keep On Lovin You




Love takes the patience of Job
That's what my Mama always said
Faith is the belief in something more than what you know
That's what the Good Book says
You gotta play the cards you got
Who knows what fate is holding
At times you gotta go without knowing where you're going

That's why I keep on lovin' you
I keep on lovin' you
Through the baby don't leave mes
And never will agains
And I promise tos
I keep on lovin' you

Lord knows we've had our share of fights
Our sleepless nights, our ups and downs
We've had plenty and then some of baby I'm gones and turnarounds
Sometimes I swear it might be easier to throw in the towel
Someday we're gonna look back
Say look at us now

That's why I keep on lovin' you
I keep on lovin' you
Through the baby don't leave mes
And never will agains
And I promise tos
I keep on lovin' you

Keep on lovin' you
Through the I take it backs...I didn't mean it like thats
I'd never hurt yous...Oh, I keep on lovin' you

I keep on lovin' you...I keep on lovin' you
Through the I take it backs...I didn't mean it like that
I'd never hurt yous...Oh, I keep on lovin' you
I keep on lovin' you...I keep on lovin' you

MARRY ME!!!

My best friend pointed this one to me. I LOVE IT!!!






Forever can never be long enough for me
Feel like I've had long enough with you
Forget the world now we won't let them see
But there's one thing left to do

Now that the weight has lifted
Love has surely shifted my way
Marry Me
Today and every day
Marry Me
If I ever get the nerve to say
Hello in this cafe
Say you will
Mm-hmm
Say you will
Mm-hmm

Together can never be close enough for me
Feel like I am close enough to you
You wear white and I'll wear out the words I love
And you're beautiful
Now that the wait is over
And love and has finally shown her my way
Marry me
Today and every day
Marry me
If I ever get the nerve to say hello in this cafe
Say you will
Mm-hmm
Say you will
Mm-hmm

Promise me
You'll always be
Happy by my side
I promise to
Sing to you
When all the music dies

And marry me
Today and everyday
Marry me
If I ever get the nerve to say hello in this cafe
Say you will
Mm-hmm
Say you will
Marry me
Mm-hmm

Stay

Found this song. new light.... I didn't think a line from this song would resonate to the core.



It's too much pain to have to bear
To love a man you have to share

I just hope it doesn't end that way...

It's just that way...

I'm working on a little project. I don't have this song yet, but ran into it when looking up some other lyrics. I love this song. Sometimes all you can say is "It's just that way"

"It's Just That Way" - Alan Jackson




That ol' sun comes up every mornin'
And goes back down at the end of every day
It's just that way
Stars show up every evenin'
Man in the moon comes up to play
It's just that way

And girl, lovin' you is something I was born to do
It's just that way

The ocean wet the desert dry
Don't ask me why, 'cause I can't say
It's just that way
As sure as the world keeps turnin'
My love for you will never change
Oh, it's just that way

And girl, lovin' you is something I was born to do
It's just that way

And girl, lovin' you is something I was born to do
It's just that way

That ol' sun comes up every mornin',
it's just that way

All I ever wanted...

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this song!



Girl you got me going
Yea I think you know it
Oh I’m ready for this ride
So come on take my hand
Cuz only you, you understand
How to kick this feeling into

Drive all night with me
Sing my favorite song and sleep
Under the stars on the hood of our car
It’s all I’ve ever wanted
All I ever wanted was to
See you in the pale moon light
Just the way you look tonight
And maybe some day
If love comes our way
We’ll be walking in the meadow in the early spring
You’ll be twirling in a sundress wearing my ring
Can you see it
Girl I believe that
It’s true
All I ever wanted
All I ever really wanted was you

If life is what you make it
Here’s my chance I'll take it
You know I wanna make you mine
I have this picture in my mind
You were in it all the time
So baby hold on tight

And drive all night with me
Sing my favorite song and sleep
Under the stars on the hood of our car
It’s all I’ve ever wanted
All I ever wanted was to
See you in the pale moon light
Just the way ya look tonight
And maybe some day
If love comes our way
We’ll be walking in the meadow in the early spring
You’ll be twirling in a sundress wearing my ring
Can you see it
Girl I believe that
It’s true
All I ever wanted
All I ever really wanted was you

All I ever wanted
Was to see you in the pale moon light
Just the way ya look tonight
And maybe some day
If love comes our way
We’ll be walking in the meadow in the early spring
You’ll be twirling in a sundress wearing my ring
Can you see it
Girl I believe that
It’s true
All I ever wanted
All I ever really wanted was you

The Greatest Story Ever Told

Came across this song in my music library. I love this song. It's funny how as your life changes you view a song differently.

"The Greatest Story Ever Told" - Oliver James
Thank you for this moment
I've gotta say how beautiful you are
Of all the hopes and dreams I could have prayed for
Here you are
If I could have one dance forever
I would take you by the hand
Tonight it's you and I together
I'm so glad I'm your man

And if I lived a thousand years
You know I never could explain
The way I lost my heart to you that day
But if destiny decided I should look the other way
Then the world would never know
The greatest story ever told
And did I tell you that I love you
Tonight

I don't hear the music
When I'm looking in your eyes
But I feel the rhythm of your body close to mine
It's the way we touch, it soothes me
It's the way we'll always be
Your kiss your pretty smile
You know I'd die for
Oh baby
You're all I need

And if I lived a thousand years
You know I never could explain
The way I lost my heart to you that day
But if destiny decided I should look the other way
Then the world would never know
The greatest story ever told
And did I tell you that I love you
Just how much I really need you
Did I tell you that I love you
Tonight
Tonight

And if I lived a thousand years
You know I never could explain
The way I lost my heart to you that day
But if destiny decided I should look the other way
Then the world would never know
The greatest story ever told
And did I tell you that I love you
Just how much I really need you
Did I tell you that I love you tonight

You to Miss

An amazing song by Love and Theft. It puts a new spin on missing someone.




Some people try to hide
They try to move on
Can’t stand the pain of you gone but baby that’s not me
I’d never try to ease the ache that I feel the pain
Reminds me how real this love has come to be

And I‘m not running scared
I will stay right where
I gave you my word
That I would be

And I don’t want to hurt
But I know I have to feel
I do it to be close to you
Just to keep you real
And I don’t want to cry
But tears are part of life they conquer the impossible
And make you feel alive
And I’m so glad, my love
That I have you to miss

Some people try to fake
They don’t feel this
Can’t stand to face the realness so they just run away oh,
But I want nothing more than you to hold me
So intimately know me
So I’ll hurt along the way

And I’m not running scared I will stay right where
I gave you my word
That I would be

And I don’t want to hurt
But I know I have to feel
I do it to be close to you
Just to keep you real
And I don’t want to cry
But tears are part of life they conquer the impossible
And make you feel alive
And I’m so glad, my love
That I have you to miss

And it could never hurt so bad that I would trade the love we have
And it could never cut so deep that I would never want to leave

And I don’t want to hurt
But I know I have to feel
I do it to be close to you
Just to keep you real
And I don’t want to cry
But tears are part of life they conquer the impossible
And make you feel alive
And I’m so glad, my love
That I have you to miss

I’m so glad, my love that I have you to miss
and I’m glad my love that I have you to miss

I'd love to be your last...

I was on youtube looking for the song "Who Needs Ya Baby" by Clay Walker and ended up finding this one. Its beautiful.

There's No Way

Today as I am applying for jobs I decided to listen to everything in my library in my itunes. Came across this song, it's from the 80's I'm sure based on the actual music video (its really weird, so I am not posting it). I love this song!





As I lay by your side and hold you tonight,
I want you to understand,
This love that I feel is so right and so real,
And I realize how lucky I am.
And should you ever wonder if my love is true,
There's something that I wanna make clear to you.

There's no way I could make it without you,
There's no way that I'd even try,
If I had to survive, without you in my life,
I know I wouldn't last a day,
Oh baby, there's no way.

It means so much to me, whenever I see,
That "wanting me look" in your eyes,
I don't know how I could do without,
Holding you close every night.
I've waited so long just to have you to hold,
And now that I've got you, I'll never let go.

There's no way I could make it without you,
There's no way that I'd even try,
If I had to survive, without you in my life,
I know I wouldn't last a day,
Oh baby, there's no way.

I never knew until you, what I was missing,
Now you say forever, and I find my heart is listening.
Yes I'm listening.

There's no way I could make it without you,
There's no way that I'd even try,
If I had to survive, without you in my life,
I know I wouldn't last a day,
Oh baby, there's no way.

Baby, there's just no way.

Romantic Songs...

I recently got the PEOPLE - Country Edition for March. There was one article that I totally loved, "What's your favorite Romantic Song?"

Address in the Stars

BEAUTIFUL SONG!!!







Verse 1:
I stumbled across your picture today
I could barely breath
The moment stopped me cold,
Grabbed me like a thief.
I dialed your number, but you wouldn't be there
I knew the whole time, but it's still not fair
I just wanted to hear your voice,
I just needed to hear your voice.


Chorus:
What do I do with all I need to say
So much I wanna tell you everyday
Oh it breaks my heart,
I cry these tears in the dark
I write these letters to you,
But they get lost in the blue,
'Cause there's no address in the stars.

Verse 2:
Now I'm drivin'
Through the pitch black dark
I'm screaming at the sky
Oh cause it hurts so bad
Everybody tells me
Oh all I need is time
Then the mornin' rolls in
And it hits me again
And that aint nothin' but a lie.

Chorus:
What do I do with all I need to say
So much I wanna tell you everday
Oh it breaks my heart,
I cry these tears in the dark
I write these letters to you,
But they get lost in the blue,
'Cause there's no address in the stars.

Verse 3:
Without you here with me,
I don't know what to do.
I'd give anything
Just to talk to you
Oh it breaks my heart,
Oh it breaks my heart,
But all I can do
Is write these letters to you,
But there's no address in the stars.

There is a God

My mom pointed this song out to me. The song says it perfectly. All I will add is, that there really is a God. He is everywhere. He is the reason I am here today. And I love him.

There is a God - Lee Ann Womack

Something 'Bout A Woman

Listening to Lady Antebellum (as you can guess). Here is another song I love. its called "Somethin 'Bout A Woman"

Our Kind Of Love

I have the new Lady Antebellum CD "Need you Know." The second track "Our Kind Of Love" is my favorite song so far. So here it is!

As Any Fool Can See

Listened to this song today. As of now doesnt have meaning to me, but its a good one.

"As Any Fool Can See" - Tracy Lawrence
Lately she's been pickin' fights
Droppin' hints and just last night
I caught a tear as she slipped off to sleep
She's not here, but she's not gone
I guess she's must be waitin' on
The kind of man I promised her I'd be

As any fool can see
She's gonna cross that line
She's got leavin' on her mind
And it's too late
But what keeps killin' me
Is knowin' I've been blind
As any fool can see

How long did I think she'd stand
For me to be the kind of man
That came and went just as I dang well pleased
While she sits at home alone
With fears and feelin's of her own
Lord knows goodbye would bring me to my knees

As any fool can see
She's gonna cross that line
She's got leavin' on her mind
And it's too late
But what keeps killin' me
Is knowin' I've been blind
As any fool can see

She's gonna cross that line
She's got leavin' on her mind
And it's too late
But what keeps killin' me
Is knowin' I've been blind
As any fool can see

She's gonna cross that line
She's got leavin' on her mind
And it's too late
But what keeps killin' me
Is knowin' I've been blind
As any fool can see

Commitment

I heard this song play on my mp3 player the other day. Says it perfectly!
