Thread: What song...

ANY SONG BY JAMES TAYLOR.

CAN'T EXPLAIN IT.

MAYBE BECAUSE WHENEVER MY
HUBBY PLAYS THE CD,
HE LOOKS SO HAPPY TO
BE JUST SITTING BACK
AND SINGING WITH THOSE SONGS.

I KNOW THAT NO MATTER WHAT THOSE
SONGS WILL ALWAYS REMIND ME OF HIM.

THEN HE LAUGHS AT ME
FOR BEING SO SILLY.

BUT I BELIEVE
THAT WHEN PEOPLE SING
OUT LOUD, NO MATTER
IF THEY HAVE A GREAT VOICE OR
A NOT SO GREAT VOICE,
TO ME IT MEANS THEIR SOUL IS HAPPY.

mine is silent night 9/11. the words are spoken and silent night is played in the background. every time i hear it i cant help but cry.

heres the words...........

You say you will never forget where you were when you heard the news, Sept. 11, 2001. Neither will I. I was on the 110th floor in a smoke-filled room with a man who called his wife to say "Goodbye." I held his fingers steady as he dialed. I gave him the peace to say, "Honey, I am not going to make it, but it is OK... I am ready to go." I was with his wife when he called as she fed breakfast to their children. I held her up as she tried to understand his words as she realized he wasn't coming home that night.


I was in the stairwell on the 23rd floor when a women cried out to me for help. "I have been knocking on the door of your heart for 50 years!" I said, "Of course I will show you the way home -- only believe in Me now."



I was at the base of the building with the priest ministering to the injured and devastated souls. I took him home to tend to his flock in Heaven. He heard my voice and answered.


I was on all four of those planes, in every seat, with every prayer. I was with the crew as they were overtaken. I was in the very hearts of the believers there. Comforting and assuring them that their faith has saved them.


I was in Texas, Kansas, London, everywhere in the world. I was standing next to you when you heard the terrible news. Did you sense Me?


I want you to know that I saw every face. I knew every name -- though they did NOT all know Me. Some met me for the first time on the 100th floor. Some sought me out with their last breath. Some couldn't hear me calling them through the smoke and flames, "Come to Me... this way... take my hand."


Some chose, for the final time, to ignore Me.


But, I was there.


I did not place you in the tower that day -- you may not know why, but I DO.


However, if you were there in that explosive moment in time, would you have reached for Me? Sept. 11, 2001 was not the end of the journey for you. But someday your journey will end. And I will be there for you as well. Seek Me now while I may be found. Then at any moment, you know you are "ready to go."


I will be in the stairwell of your final moments.

Butterfly Kisses...

I have a friend (my best friend since we were 1) who had that song played at her first wedding. Her father and her danced to it. Well, she and her first hubby split and her dad died. I know that God wanted her to have a wedding so her daddy could give her away and she could dance with him to that song.

Butterfly Kisses

There's two things I know for sure.
She was sent here from heaven, and she’s daddy’s little girl.
As I drop to my knees by her bed at night,
She talks to Jesus, and I close my eyes.
And I thank God for all the joy in my life, But most of all...
Butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer.
Stickin’ little white flowers all up in her hair.
"Walk beside the pony daddy, it’s my first ride."
"I know the cake looks funny, daddy, but I sure tried."
Oh, with all that I’ve done wrong, I must have done something right.
To deserve a hug every morning, and butterfly kisses at night.

Sweet sixteen today.
She’s looking like her momma a little more every day.
One part woman, the other part girl.
To perfume and makeup, from ribbons and curls.
Trying her wings in a great big world. But I remember...

Butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer.
Stickin’ little white flowers all up in her hair.
"You know how much I love you daddy, but if you don’t mind,
I’m only going to kiss you on cheek this time."
With all that I’ve done wrong, I must have done something right.
To deserve a hug every morning, and butterfly kisses at night.

All the precise time.
Like the wind, the years go by.
Precious butterfly, spread your wings and fly.

She’ll change her name today.
She’ll make a promise, and I’ll give her away.
Standing in the bride room just staring at her.
She asked me what I’m thinking, and I said, "I’m not sure,
I just feel like I’m losing my baby girl."
Then she leaned over... and gave me...

Butterfly kisses, with her mama there.
Stickin’ little white flowers all up in her hair.
"Walk me down the aisle daddy, it’s just about time."
"Does my wedding gown look pretty daddy?" "Daddy don’t cry."
With all that I’ve done wrong, I must have done something right.
To deserve a hug every morning, and butterfly kisses.
I couldn’t ask God for more, man, this is what love is.
I know I’ve gotta let her go, but I’ll always remember.
Every hug in the morning, and butterfly kisses...

THE DANCE

Looking back on the memory of
The dance we shared 'neath the stars above
For a moment all the world was right
How could I have known that you'd ever say goodbye


And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end the way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain
But I'd of had to miss the dance


Holding you I held everything
For a moment wasn't I a king
But if I'd only known how the king would fall
Hey who's to say you know I might have changed it all


And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end the way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain
But I'd of had to miss the dance


Yes my life is better left to chance
I could have missed the pain but I'd of had to miss the dance

"Austin" by Blake Shelton (David Kent/Kirsti Manna)

1st Verse

She left without leavin' a number
Said she needed to clear her mind
He figured she'd gone back to Austin
'Cause she talked about it all the time
It was almost a year before she called him up
Three rings and an answerin' machine is what she got

1st Chorus

If you're callin' 'bout the car, I sold it
If this is Tuesday night, I'm bowlin'
If you've got somethin' to sell
You're wastin' your time, I'm not buyin'
If it's anybody else
Wait for the tone, you know what to do
And P.S., if this is Austin, I still love you

2nd Verse

The telephone fell to the counter
She heard but she couldn't believe
What kind of man would hang on that long
What kind of love that must be
She waited three days, and then she tried again
She didn't know what she'd say
But she heard three rings and then

2nd Chorus

If it's Friday night, I'm at the ballgame
And first thing Saturday, if it don't rain
I'm headed out to the lake
And I'll be gone, all weekend long
But I'll call you back when I get home
On Sunday afternoon
And P.S., if this is Austin, I still love you

Bridge

Well, this time she left her number
But not another word
Then she waited by the phone on Sunday evenin'
And this is what he heard

Tag Chorus

If you're callin' 'bout my heart
It's still yours
I should've listened to it a little more
Then it wouldn't have taken me so long
To know where I belong
And by the way, boy
This is no machine you're talkin' to
Can't you tell, this is Austin, and I still love you
I still love you

AND BUTTERFLY KISSES
