Happy Birthday!

We thank God, our creator, for the life he gave us.
Another year is added to our life, and we become wiser, till we meet Him.

Happy birthday!
I dedicate this song of Beyonce to you.

God bless you!

To all the birthday celebrants, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Eddie Fisher's Oh My Papa

Eddie Fisher, a great singer of the 50's died at age 82. He was married to Debbie Reynolds, Elizabeth, and Connie Stevens which all ended in divorce.

He recorded and released Oh My Papa in 1954, one of Eddie's top hits.
I dedicate this song to the fathers and their children.

1
O my Papa
To me you are so wonderful
Oh my papa, to me he was so good
No one could be so gentle and so lovable
O my papa he always understood
2
Gone are the days
when he would take me on his knee
And with a smile he’d change
my tears to laughter
3
Oh my papa so funny so adorable
Always the clown
so funny in his ways
3
Oh my papa to me
he was so wonderful
Deep in my heart
I miss him so today

Repeat 2 & 3

O my papa, oh my papa

What Did for Love, Jack Jones

Kissing the day day goodbye, doing what you had to do, not regretting what had transpired, no regrets, move on, and yet love is never gone. Is it this easy?

What I Did for Love by Jack Jones

Kiss the day goodbye
The sweetness and the sorrow
We did what we had to do
And I can’t regret
What I did for love 2x

Look my eyes are dry
The gift was ours to borrow
It’s as if we always knew
But I won’t forget
What I did for love 2x

Gone, love is never gone
As we travel on
Love’s what we’ll remember...

Till the End of Time, Perry Como

Till the End of Time, one song that I really loved when I was in my teens, very idealistic.

1
Till the End of time
Long as stars are in the bloom
Long as there’s a spring, a bird
I’ll go on loving you
2
till the end of time
long as roses bloom in May
My love for you will grow deeper
with every passing day
3
till the wells run dry
and each mountain disappears
I’ll be there for you to care for you
through laughter and through tears
4
So take my hand in sweet surrender
and tenderly say that I’m
the one you love and live for
till the end of time.

Repeat 3 & 4

Sinner or Saint - Sarah Vaughn

When you think you are in love, in your young and idealistic years,
we let our emotions prevail. We are usually attracted by the physical attributes not going deeper into the character, the past of the person and the prospective partner’s family. All these will have a bearing in a long, lasting relationship: marriage.

We can see the faults, but we try to overlook, thinking that we will be able to correct those faults.

It is wise to listen to what other people say, especially our loved ones. As an outsider, they would be able to perceive the kind of person one is.
In the Philippines, the usual advice is: go see the family and see how they interact with one another. Are they loving to one another, or respect is absent. Are the parents treated badly. If they are, expect that you would get the same treatment.

In addition to the other people’s advice, and your own perception, looking over a “tinted glass”, seek God’s advice. Pray earnestly for a God-fearing, God loving and responsible person.
We should not say recklessly that we would accept a person whether he/she is a:

Sinner or Saint

1
I’ll take you dear anyway you are,
a sinner or saint
Doesn’t matter what they say you are
I’ll have no complaint
2
Whether it’s foolish or wise dear
I’ll go along trustingly
They say the devil’s in your eyes dear
but you look like an angel to me
3
I won’t ask you what the past has been
The dreams you have had
All the blessing I’ll take with the sin
The good with the bad
4
Who cares what people say of you
Who cares what pictures they paint
All that I know is that I love
Saint or sinner, sinner or saint

Repeat 4

Who cares?

My World Keeps Getting Smaller Everyday

My World Keeps Getting Smaller Everyday by Neil Sedaka

When you are alone and lonely, you get that feeling that the world is closing in on you. The world keeps getting smaller everyday.

Love comes from the Most Unexpected Places

Love comes from the most unexpected places. Don't be anxious, it will come. Pray for a lasting love.

Love Comes from the Most Unexpected places

Love comes from the most unexpected places
In someone’s eyes you’ve never met
Who once to get to know you
someone smile you can’t forget
And if the music plays on in your mind

Take all the love the love that you can find
and if love takes you in
take all the love that you can find
and hope it comes again

love comes from the most unexpected places
a love song on a radio
you never hear before
it buys and drive our loneliness
where people sell their sorrow your time

take take the love that they can find
and if love takes them in
they take the love that they can find
and hope it comes again

love comes in many ways
in lovers arms and sweet caress
but if nothing said that nothing’s heard
but here I stand outside your door
And am trying to tell you once more
that I love you I still love you
Ooh baby I love you Umm----

Love comes from the most unexpected places
In someone’s eyes you’ve never met
who once to get to know you
someone smile you can’t forget
And if the music plays on in your mind

Take all the love that you can find
and if love takes you in
Take all the love that you can find,
and hope it comes again
Take all the love that you can find
and hope it comes again.

I'm Coming Home- Tom Jones

I’m Coming Home by Tom Jones

Swallow that pride, and reunite.

I'm coming home
To your loving heart
To the one that I was once----
and broke apart

I want you, I need you
But chances are I’m asking now
I must be back to you somehow
So I am coming home to you
for I am nothing without you

May be you found somebody new
But I’m still coming home to you
Please let me stay and forget your pride

Now my world is falling round me
I got nowhere to hide
I want you, I need you
I know it’s true I made you cry
And like a fool I said goodbye

But I am coming home to you
life is nothing without you
Maybe you found somebody new
But I’m still coming home to you

Dream of Me

Dream of Me, a young love, sang by Kirsten Dunst

Let me sleep for when I sleep
I dream that you are here
You’re mine
And all my fears are left behind
I float on air
the nightingale seems gentle lullabies
so let me close my eyes

and sleep a chance to dream
so I can see the face I long touch to kiss
but only dreams can bring me this
So let the moon shine
softly on the boy I long to see
And maybe when he dreams,
he’ll dream of me…

Send in the Clowns

Another beautiful song sang by the great Barbra Streisand

SEND IN THE CLOWNS

Isn’t it rich?
Are a pal?
Me here at last on the ground
you in mid air
Send in the clowns

Isn’t it pleased?
don’t you approve?
One who keeps staring around
One who can’t move
Where are the clowns?
Send in the clowns

Just when when I stopped
opening doors
Finally knowing the one
that I wanted was yours
Making my entrance again with my usual flair
Sure of my lines, but no one is there

Isn’t it rich, isn’t it queer?
Losing my timing this late in my career
Where are the clowns?
Quick send in the clowns
Don’t bother they’re here.

Standing Right Next to Me

This is the feeling when you first fall in love, or thought to be in love.
Following is a beautiful song sang by Karla Bonoff, Standing right Next to Me.

Love is like wind
sometimes it blows your way
and until now
Missed me somehow
but when I turn
I saw you standing there

The sound of your voice
I had no choice
I used to have a wish
One day I’d feel like this
Now I know love exists
Standing right next to me.

Beneath the moon tonight
I see it in your eyes
No more false starts
No broken hearts

I used to to have a wish
One day I’d feel like this
Now I know love exists
Standing right next to me.

Even in the dark
Even when you’re gone
I feel you in my heart
I used to have a wish
One day I’d feel like this
Now I know love exists
Standing right next to me…to me
Standing ight next to me.

People

The biggest killer of a relationship is pride. One hides the need for the person if he/she is hurt, until the gap is widen.Communication breaks down.

People sang by the great Streisand

People people who need people
Are the luckiest people in the world

We’re children needing other children
and yet letting our grown-up pride
Hide all the need inside
acting more like children than children

Lovers are very special people
they’re the luckiest people in the world
with one person one very special person
a feeling deep in your soul
says you are half now you’re whole

no more hunger and thirst
first be a person who needs people
people who need people
are the luckiest people in the world

with one person one very special person
no more hunger and thirst
first be a person who needs people
people who need people
are the luckiest people in the world

As Long as He Needs Me

As Long As He Needs Me, another great song sang by Vikki Carr

Needing and loving go together, but it should not be a game that when the game is over...it is over.

He doesn’t say the things he should
He acts the way he thinks he should
But all the same I’ll play the game
his words

As long as he needs me
I know where I must be
I’ll cling on steadfastly
As long as he needs me

As long as life is long
I’ll love him right or wrong
and somehow I’ll be strong
As long as he needs me

If you are lonely then you will know
when someone needs you
you’ll love him so

I won’t betray his trust
though people say I must
I’ve got to stay through just
As long as he needs me.

My Man

My Man sang by Barbra Streisand

The song says,: “for whatever my man is, I am his, forever more.”
It is selfless. If you love somebody, you will be willing to give your life for him/her.

It is easy to make this declaration in the beginning of the marriage, where one easily forgives because they are still in their bed of roses, honeymoon stage during the first year. But when the problems come that is perceived to be insurmountable, they become challenged, especially from the second year of marriage and on.

However, if the marriage is built on a solid foundation, not simply on physical attraction, but the compatibility of the partner in character, there is a great likelihood that it will succeed. They do not have to be alike, they may be poles apart; but if the partner recognizes this and that they could live with whatever flaws each has, both is committed to the marriage, pray together for any conflict- then God will bless this marriage.


My Man

Oh My man I love him so
He’ll never know
All my life is just a spare
but I don’t care
When he takes me in his arm
the world is bright, all right

What’s the difference if I say
I’ll go away
When I I know I’ll come back
on my knees someday
for whatever my man is, I am his
forever more

Oh my man I love him so
He’ll never know
All my life is just a spare
But I don’t care
when he takes me in his arms
The world is bright all right

what’s the difference if I say
I’ll go away
when I know I’ll come back
on my knees someday

For whatever my man is
I am his, forever more

When Barbra sings, you can feel the love she expresses. Great singer!

You Don't Bring Me Flowers

A couple who does not communicate assumes each other's action as falling out which lead to misunderstanding. If the couple wants to save their marriage, they undergo marriage counseling. But if there is third party involved, no amount of counseling would do them good.

You don't Bring Me Flowers sang by Barbra Streisand & Neil Diamond

You don’t bring me flowers
You don’t sing me love songs

Neil Diamond
You hardly talk to me anymore
when I come through the door
at the end of the day

Barbra
I remember when
you couldn’t wait to love me
Used to hate to leave me
Now after loving me late at night

Neil
well it’s good for you babe
you’re feeling alright

Barbra
Well you just roll over
and turn off the light
and you don’t bring me flowers anymore

Neil
You used to be so natural
talk about forever
but this don’t count anymore
They just lay on the floor
to be sweeped them away

Barbra
Baby I remember
all the things to taught me

I learned how to laugh
and I learned how to cry

When I learned how to laugh
And I learned how to lie
so you think think I could learn
how to tell you goodbye

So you think I could tell you goodbye

You don’t bring me flowers anymore.

Barbra & Neil
Well you think I could learn
how to tell you goodbye

You don’t say you need me
You don’t sing me love songs


You don’t bring me flowers anymore

Woman in Love

When a woman is in love, she'll do anything for her man or vice-versa. Sadly, at times the man may not deserve it.But some stick to the man, this is what you call selfless love.



Woman in Love

Life is a moment in space
when the dream is gone
it’s a lonelier place
I kissed the morning goodbye
But down inside
you know we never know why

The road is narrow and long
when eyes meet eyes
and the feeling is strong
I turn away from the wall
I stumble and fall
But I give you it alI

I am a woman in love
and I do anything
to get you into my world
and hold you within
it's a right I defend
over and over again
what do I do

With you eternally mine
in love there is no measure of time
we planned it all at the start
that You and I
living each other’s part

We may be oceans away
you feel my love
I hear what what you say
The truth is ever a lie
I stumble and fall
but I give you it all

I am a woman in love
and I’ll do anything
To get you into my world
and hold you within
It’s a right I defend
over and over again
what do I do

Oh, Oh, yes a woman in love
and I’m talking to you
I know how you feel
what a woman can do
It’s a right I’ll defend
over and over again

I am a woman in love
and I’ll do anything
to get you into my world
and hold you within
It’s a right I'Il defend
over and aver again.

Windmills of your Mind

Windmills of your Mind from the Thomas Crown Affair

Round like a circle in a spiral
Like a wheel within a wheel
Never ending nor beginning
on an ever spinning wheel

Like a snowball down the mountain
or a carnival balloon
Like a carousel that’s turning
running rings around the moon

Like a clock whose hands are sweeping
Past the minutes of its space
And the world is like an apple
whirling silently in space
Like the circles that you find
in the windmills of your mind

Like a tunnel that you follow
to a tunnel of its own
Down a hollow to a cavern
where the sun has never shown

Like a door that keeps revolving
in a half forgotten dream
Or the ripples from a pebble
someone tosses in a string

Like a clock whose hands are sweeping
past the minutes on its face.
And the world is like an apple
whirling silently on its space
Like the circles that you find
in the windmills of your mind

Keys that jingle in your pocket
Words that jangle in your head
Why did summer go so quickly
was it something that you said

Lovers walk along the shore
and leave their footprints in the sand
It’s the sound of distant drumming
just the fingers of your hands
pictures hanging in a hallway
and the fragments of a song
half remembered names and faces
but to whom do they belong
when you knew that it was over
you were suddenly aware
That the autumn leaves were turning
to the color of her hair

It’s a circle in a spiral
a wheel within a wheel
Never ending nor beginning
in an ending wheel
As the images unwind
like the circles that you find
in the windmills of your mind.

Summer love may be heartbreaking to one partner who really falls in love with the other .

A HOUSE IS NOT A HOME

A HOUSE IS NOT A HOME sang by Dusty Springfield and composed by Burt Bacharach

A chair still a chair
even though though
there’s no one sitting there

But a chair is not a house
And a house is not a home
when there’s no one there to hold you tight
And no one there you can kiss goodnight

A room still a room
even though there's nothing there but gloom
But a room is not a house
and a house is not home
when the the two of us are far apart
and one of us has a broken heart

now and then I call your name
and suddenly your voice appears
but it’s just a crazy game
and when it ends, it ends in tears

Darling have a heart
don’t let one mistake keep us apart
I’m not meant to live alone
turn this house into a home
when I climb the stairs and turn the key
oh please be here still in love with me

I’m not meant to live alone
turn this house into a home
When I climb the stairs and turn the key
Still be there, still in love with me

A house is no longer a home, if the occupant is brokenhearted, and either of the partner is “ nangapitbahay” as they say in Filipino. (gone to another nest)

For Once in my Life

For once in my life
I have someone who needs me
someone I’ve needed so long

For once unfraid I can go
where life leads me
somehow I know I’ll be strong

For once I can touch
what my heart used to dream of
long before I knew
someone warm like you
would make my dreams come true

For once in my life
I won’t let sorrow hurt me
no not like it’s hurt me before

For once I have something
I know won’t dessert me
I’m not alone anymore

For once I can say this is mine
you can’t take it
As I long as I know I have loved
I can make it

For once in my life
I have someone who needs me

Oh, for once I can say
This is mine you can’t take it
As long as I know
I have loved I can make it

For once in my life
I have someone,
someone who needs me

Being rejected by someone you loved is traumatic
You lose your self worth
You can only regain this self worth, by asking God to give you
someone who is worth loving, responsible, and a God-loving person.

There Goes My Heart

There goes my heart
There goes the one I love
There goes the boy
I wasn’t worthy of

There goes my happiness
It couldn’t be
There goes somebody else
in place of me

Goodbye romance
It couldn’t last somehow
I had my chance.
but it’s all over now

I never thought that he
would pass me by
there goes my heart
and here am I

Goodbye my love Goodbye my romance
We couldn’t last Oh, we couldn’t last
You’ve had your chanceYes, I had my chance
But it’s all over now

I never thought that he could pass me by
There goes my heart and here am I

There goes my heart 3x

A young girl in her teens, a naive one
could feel inadequate, feeling not worthy to go into
a relationship because she is not probably given the importance and recognition by her family or the man may be playing the field.

A mother could nurture the growing up needs of the daughter through constant dialogue, give her assurance of her worth by showing unconditional love, and respect.

It Must be Him by Vikki Carr

IT MUST BE HIM

I tell myself what’s done is done
I tell myself don’t be a fool
Play the field have a lot of fun
It’s easy when you play it cool.

I tell myself don’t be a (pls supply the word)
Who cares let him stay away
That’s when the phone rings
And I jump, and as I grab the phone I pray

Let it please be him, Oh dear God
It must be him 2x
Or I shall I die 2x

Oh hello ,hello my dear God
it must be him
But its not him and then I die
That’s when I die

After a while I’m myself again
I pick the pieces off the floor
Put my heart on the shelf again
He’ll never hurt me anymore

I’m not a puppet on the street
I’ll find somebody else someday
That’s when my phone ring
And once again I start to pray

Let it please be him,
It must be him, oh dear God
It must be him2x
Or I shall die 2x

Oh, hello, hello, my dear God
It must be him But it’s not him
And then I die, again I die

Let it please be him Oh dear God
it must be him 2x
Or I shall die.2x

In one's adolescence, especially if it's a first love, the above situation usually happens. One gets highly infatuated with the opposite sex, that it is likened to true love.

But being taken for granted and be hurting, better have a short-lived, passionate relationship rather that a lifetime of heartache. Cut your emotional losses as early as you can!

ALL THE TIME

All the time I thought there’s only me
Crazy in a way that no else could be
I would have given everything I had
To someone who would have said
you’re not so bad

All the time I thought that I was wrong
Wanting to be me, but needing to belong
I would have given everything I own
To someone who would have said
You’re not alone

All the time
All the wasted time
All the years waiting for a sign
To think I have it all

All the time I thought there’s only me
Crazy in a way that no one else could be
I can’t believe that you were somewhere too
Thinking all the time there’s only you.

All the time
All the wasted time
All the years waiting for a sign
To think I had it all

All the time I thought that there was only me
So crazy in a way that no one else could be
I cant believe that you were somewhere too
Thinking all the the time there’s only you

All the time, All the wasted time
All the years just waiting for a sign
To think I have it all, to think you have it all
To think we have it all.

All the time …

When we invest our future with a partner, both should have a commitment in the marriage, not being "somewhere else." Otherwise it is going to be a wasted time.

HOW DO YOU HEAL A BROKEN HEART?, FIXING A BROKEN HEART

If you don't seem to heal, get help from this song: How do you Heal a Broken Heart"
and "Fixing a Broken Heart".

It Takes too Long to Learn to Live Again

This beautiful song by Eydie Gorme is a sad reminder of a lost love.
If you are still pining for the lost love, it is not fair to go into another relationship, because both partners are at a losing end. Both partners would not be able to give their best in the relationship.

And at parting of the ways, one or both of the partners may take one year or two to get over the failed relationship.

We have to move on. If you don’t have God with you, what you will be facing is inconsolable loneliness and emptiness.

This song tugs at one’s heart string, so sad, pitiful if you can not move on.
To expurgate any traces of the lost love, burn all reminders. Burn your bridges so you won’t look back.

You Don't Have to Say You Love Me

I was in my first year college when this song was popularized. I liked both the lyrics and the melody: "You Don't Have to Say You Love Me" by British singer Dusty Springfield, released in 1966.

Thinking back now, I liked it probably at that time, it didn't matter because I didn't have a special someone yet. So, I didn't need reassurance of an "undying love."
But once you have a partner, a woman needs constant reassurance. This is where a man and a woman differs. (The feminists would probably disagree with me on this aspect)

"You don't have to say you love me
Just be close at hand
You don't have to stay forever,
I will understand...

I will never tie you down"

Saying the above words, means a loss of one's dignity, an indication of selflessness.

But now, not saying you love a woman hurts. Men would say: "Isn't this enough, doing in my capacity to provide for my family? "

The Bodyguard Movie Songs

The Bodyguard movie released in 1992 is one movie one would not forget, again depending in the situation of a relationship. It makes you long for a distant partner.

The movie is a romance-thriller where Kevin Costner played a Former Secret Service Agent turned bodyguard for Whitney Houston, a music star, to protect her from an unknown stalker who sent her death threats.

Rachel Marron (Whitney Houston) and Frank Farmer (Kevin Costner) had an affair, but Farmer broke off the relationship in order not to compromise his protection of her.

The film won two MTV Movie Awards in Europe for Best Movie and Best Movie Song for “I Will Always Love You.

I Will Always Love You

I will always love you, professing an undying love to someone.
("There is only one happiness in life, to love and to be loved." - George Sand)

Run to You

Knowing that you have somebody to rely on,
that you can run to, you feel secure and loved.

Somewhere in Time

Somewhere in Time is a film starring Christopher Reeve, Jane Seymour, and Christopher Plummer shown in cinemas in 1980.
It is about a playwright who fell in love with a young woman, portrayed by Jane Seymour of the Grand Hotel. To find her, he had to travel to the year 1912.

My children love Christopher Reeve as Superman, but I didn’t have the time for it.
When my children and I watched "Somewhere in Time" in the theater, we loved it, story and characters. We love fantasies, but my children at that time believed that you could travel through time. Now, I know better, that is, if you believe in God.

I’ve watched the movie several times through DVDs, and I love it. The only thing that I don’t like is the sadness it brings to me (I am a very emotional person though I keep it hidden)

The music is really great, I won’t tire of listening to it. It got an award for Best Music from Saturn Award.

"All I Ask of You"

The Phantom of the Opera musical, is a widely acclaimed Broadway show which was later adapted into movie.

It was in the early 2000's when I first heard the song of the movie, "All I Ask of You". I was so touched.I was thinking that if only spouses would have this mutual protectiveness, warmth, and love, the marriage would last a lifetime. And commitment should be there, and if you're not a one man/woman person, don't get married. Stay single... till death.

The musical composition is so great that you would feel the warmth,and the love being conveyed by the music.

The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face

The first time ever I saw you face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
And the moon and the stars were the gifts you gave
through the dark and endless skies my love

The first time ever I kissed your mouth
I felt the earth moved in my hand
like the trembling heart of a captive bird
That was there at my command my love.

The first time ever I lay with you
I felt your heart So close to mine
And I knew our joy, it will fill the earth
And last till the end of time my love.

The first time ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
And the moon and the stars were the gifts you gave
To the dark and the endless skies my love

The first time ever I saw your face,
your face,your face, your face.

This is a very sentimental movie titled "Play Misty for Me"
with the theme song sang by Roberta Flack: The First time Ever I Saw Your Face.

If you're really in love or thought to be in love, this song would remain with you and would evoke memories. I guess, your reaction would vary depending on your emotion at the time you see the movie or hear the lovely song by Roberta Flack.

At least to me, I reacted this way: I felt the pure joy of being in love, although the song is in metaphor, the feeling is that as if my heart would be bursting with happiness(another metaphor). It is like the happiness of a child seeing the mother or father after a short period of separation.

Music

Music is a part of our lives. Seldom do I hear of people who is aversed to music.
Through music, you can convey your mood, your feelings which could be an expression of love, anger, frustration, and other emotions. I’d like to think that music is an expression of love, joy, happiness. It could also be about unrequited love.

When I again heard this song of Bed of Roses by Bon Jovi, which I first heard when it was sang by my son, I thought of creating a blog about the songs or music which I like and which you may like upon hearing it. It could trigger a a beautiful memory, so this blog is born!

Here's the lyric of "Bed of Roses"

Sitting here waisted and wounded at this old piano
Trying hard to capture
The moment this morning I don’t know

‘Cause a bottle of vodka
is still lodged in my head
And some blonde gave me nightmares
I think that she’s still in my bed

As I dream about movies
They won’t wake me up when I’m dead

With an ironclad fist I wake up and
French kiss the morning.
While some marching band keeps
Its own beat in my head while we’re talking

About all of the things that I long to believe
About love and the truth and
What you mean to me
And the truth is baby you’re all that I need…

I want to lay you down in a bed of roses
for tonite I sleep on a bed of nails Oh…
I want to be just as close as is the Holy Ghost is.
And lay you down on a bed of roses. .

Well I’m so far away
That each step that I take is on my way home.
A king’s ransom in dimes
I’d give each night
To see through this payphone

Still I run out of time
Or it’s hard to get through
Till the bird on the wire
Flies me back to you
I’ll just close my eyes.

And whisper…
Baby blind love is true

I want to lay you down in a bed of roses
For tonite I sleep on a bed of nails Oh…
I want to be just as close as is the
Holy Ghost is
And lay you down on a bed of roses

Well this hotel bar hangover
whiskeys gone dry
The barkeeper’s wigs crooked
And she’s giving me the ey
I might have said yeah
But I laughed so hard I think I died
Oh yeah

(guitar solo)

Now as you close your eyes
Know I’ll be thinking about you
While my mistress she calls me
To stand in her spotlight again

Tonite I won’t be alone
But you know that don’t mean
I’m not lonely
I’ve got nothing to prove
For it’s you that I’d die to defend

I want to lay you down in a bed of roses
For tonite I sleep on a bed of nails
Oh…
I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
And lay you down…
I want to lay you down in a bed of roses
For tonite I sleep on a bed of nails

I want to be just as close is as the Holy Ghost is
And lay you down…
On a bed of roses…
