A Silly Old Romantic...

[Soron]

Guess I've been around the block so many times, it's hard to believe in real romance anymore. I sure don't see much of it in every day life. Not that I don't have hope...Her name is Arden

BETTER DAYS
(Bruce Springsteen)

Well my soul checked out missing as I sat listening
To the hours and minutes tickin' away
Yeah, just sittin' around waitin' for my life to begin
While it was all just slippin' away.
I'm tired of waitin' for tomorrow to come
Or that train to come roarin' 'round the bend
I got a new suit of clothes a pretty red rose
And a woman I can call my friend

These are better days baby
Yeah there's better days shining through
These are better days baby
Better days with a girl like you

Well I took a piss at fortune's sweet kiss
It's like eatin' caviar and dirt
It's a sad funny ending to find yourself pretending
A rich man in a poor man's shirt
Now my ass was draggin' when from a passin' gypsy wagon
Your heart like a diamond shone
Tonight I'm layin' in your arms carvin' lucky charms
Out of these heard luck bones

These are better days baby
These are better days it's true
These are better days
There's better days shining through

Now a life of leisure and a pirate's treasure
Don't make much for tragedy
But it's a sad man my friend who's livin' in his own skin
And can't stand the company
Every fool's got a reason to feelin' sorry for himself
And turn his heart to stone
Tonight this fool's halfway to heaven and just a mile outta hell
And I feel like I'm comin' home

These are better days baby
There's better days shining through
These are better days
Better days with a girl like you

These are better days baby
These are better days it's true
These are better days
Better days are shining through

Show a little faith, there's magic in the night...

THUNDER ROAD
The Boss

The screen door slams
Mary's dress waves
Like a vision she dances across the porch
As the radio plays
Roy Orbison singing for the lonely
Hey that's me and I want you only
Don't turn me home again
I just can't face myself alone again
Don't run back inside
darling you know just what I'm here for
So you're scared and you're thinking
That maybe we ain't that young anymore
Show a little faith, there's magic in the night
You ain't a beauty, but hey you're alright
Oh and that's alright with me

You can hide `neath your covers
And study your pain
Make crosses from your lovers
Throw roses in the rain
Waste your summer praying in vain
For a savior to rise from these streets
Well now I'm no hero
That's understood
All the redemption I can offer, girl
Is beneath this dirty hood
With a chance to make it good somehow
Hey what else can we do now
Except roll down the window
And let the wind blow back your hair
Well the night's busting open
These two lanes will take us anywhere
We got one last chance to make it real
To trade in these wings on some wheels
Climb in back
Heaven's waiting on down the tracks
Oh oh come take my hand
Riding out tonight to case the promised land
Oh oh Thunder Road, oh Thunder Road
oh Thunder Road
Lying out there like a killer in the sun
Hey I know it's late we can make it if we run
Oh Thunder Road, sit tight take hold
Thunder Road

Well I got this guitar
And I learned how to make it talk
And my car's out back
If you're ready to take that long walk
From your front porch to my front seat
The door's open but the ride it ain't free
And I know you're lonely
For words that I ain't spoken
But tonight we'll be free
All the promises'll be broken
There were ghosts in the eyes
Of all the boys you sent away
They haunt this dusty beach road
In the skeleton frames of burned out Chevrolets

They scream your name at night in the street
Your graduation gown lies in rags at their feet
And in the lonely cool before dawn
You hear their engines roaring on
But when you get to the porch they're gone
On the wind, so Mary climb in
It's a town full of losers
And I'm pulling out of here to win.

 

[Soron]

Well I got this guitar
And I learned how to make it talk
And my car's out back
If you're ready to take that long walk
From your front porch to my front seat
The door's open but the ride it ain't free

 

[Arden]

What does the ride cost?

Hop in and find out, sexy wench.

Re: Ok...

I've been singing this song all morning long. Just felt like sharing it.

I Love You


I have a smile
stretched from ear to ear
to see you walking down the road
We meet at the lights
I stare for a while
the world around disappears
Just you and me
on this island of hope
a breath between us could be miles
Let me surround you
my sea to your shore
let me be the calm you seek
Oh and every time I'm close to you
there's too much I can't say
and you just walk away
And I forgot
to tell you
I love you
and the night's
too long
and cold here
without you
I grieve in my condition
for I cannot find the words to say I need you so
Oh and every time I'm close to you
there's too much I can't say
and you just walk away
And I forgot
to tell you
I love you
and the night's
too long
and cold here
without you

artist :
Sarah McLachlan

I loved that song the first time I heard it...Even more so now

For all the lovers out there...

WRECKING BALL
(Neil Young)

My life's an open book
You read it on the radio
We got nowhere to hide
We got nowhere to go
But if you still decide
That you want to take a ride
Meet me at the wrecking ball
Wrecking ball
Wear something pretty and white
And we'll go dancin' tonight
Meet me at the wrecking ball
Wrecking ball
Wear something pretty and white
And we'll go dancin' tonight.

I see your smoky eyes
Right across the bar
I've seen that look before
Shining from star to star
Though I can't take that chance
If you got time for one dance
Meet me at the wrecking ball
Wrecking ball
Wear something pretty and white
And we'll go dancin' tonight
Meet me at the wrecking ball
Wrecking ball
Wear something pretty and white
And we'll go dancin' tonight.

The restless line of cars
Goes stretchin' down the road
But I won't telephone
'Cause you might say hello
What is it makes me feel this way?
What is it makes me want to say
Meet me at the wrecking ball
Wrecking ball
Wear something pretty and white
And we'll go dancin' tonight
Meet me at the wrecking ball
Wrecking ball
Wear something pretty and white
And we'll go dancin' tonight.

Steal My Heart Away
Van Morrison


I can hear the sound of violins
I can hear the piper play
And every time the song begins
You just steal my heart away

The journey's longer than
I thought my love
There's lots of things
Get in the way
But every time I think of you
You just steal my heart away

Just like a morning
In May like this
See the heather on the hill
There's a place way up
The mountainside
Where the world
Keeps standing still

Just like the sunshine after rain
I'll come
To be with you will save the day
'Cos I know
When I'm with you again
You just steal my heart away

Just like a morning
In May like this
We see the heather on the hill
There's a place up on
The mountainside
Where the world is
Standing still

Just like the sunshine after rain I'll come
To be with you will save the day 'cos I know
When I'm with you again
You just steal my heart away

'Cos I know
When I m with you again
You just steal my heart away

'Cos I know
When I'm with you again
You just steal my heart away

'Cos I know
When I'm with you again
You just steal my heart away

Love...

Is what happens in a Romance when the time apart from that special one becomes harder to bear than the sacrafices needed to be together.

It's that overwhelming desire to wake up and go to sleep together, no matter how crappy the day was.

It's being there to be the strength for one when theirs flags. Being able to trust enough to give up that control. Talking about every misunderstanding right away to keep things right.

Romance and love are inseperable. Two hearts and souls become one. Love is the Answer...Communication is the Key.

My Darling Goddess, I love you as there are stars in the sky!

Love To Lean On

Joe Cocker


You Can Make Your Point
Ican Disagree
But It Will Not Change
What You Mean To Me
Did It Go Too Far
Are We To The Edge
Is There Some Way I Can
Talk You Down From The Ledge
We Can Turn Away From Each Other
Or We Can Turn It Back Around

Maybe I'm Wrong
Maybe Your're Right
Baby Don't Let This Wounded Pride
Drive A Wedge Between Us
Wherever We Go
Whatever We Do
I Know We'll Never Make It Through
If We Try To Stand Alone
We Need Love To Lean On

We Can Make Some Changes
We Can Make This Work
We Can Fix What's Broken
We Can Heal The Hurt
Take A New Direction
Now It's Up To Us
What We Do In Anger We Can Do In Love
'cause Anything That's Worth The Having
Is Worth Fighting For

Maybe I'm Wrong
Maybe Your're Right
Baby Don't Let This Wounded Pride
Drive A Wedge Between Us
Wherever We Go
Whatever We Do
I Know We'll Never Make It Through
If We Try To Stand Alone
We Need Love To Lean On
Love To Lean On
On And On And On
Love To Keep Us Strong.

Now you know what I meant

Good Morning...

The journey's longer than

You just steal my heart away

Feisty

Sweetheart...

With burning desire, you consume me.
Always on my mind, etched in my heart, forever in my dreams.
Your tenderness has healed what was battered and bruised.
What I once held so tight, I now give to you freely.

Eyes...

If my eyes are the window to my soul, then you would see a reflection of the one that holds my heart.

I love the picture...I had been thinking of a similar idea for my AV, but blue eye and a more blurry picture, unfortunately I don't have a half-decent graphics program anymore.

My darling, your words to me always bring tears of happiness & joy...I am so lucky to have you in my life!

My eyes are blue also and I thought about blurring the image but was afraid it might lose something.

I believe that I have a blue eyed photo that I found. I'll have to check...

Glad you liked it...

You fill me with so much joy and happiness.
If you look a little closer, you will see the passion that I now carry for you.

(also posted by me in other threads, but I thought the Romantics might also enjoy it...the inspirational picture is on 69's picture thread)

you are mine
to finally hold
a dream
that has become the reality
for which I live and breathe
your skin is warm
smooth satin under my fingers
the scent of our love still entrances the air
as your gaze holds me
your soul, that long ago captured mine,
caresses my inner being
calming me
arousing me
calling me to you
our breathe dances over our lips
moist with prior kissing
with our essence
yet I hunger to kiss you
to feel your lips
as they make soft love to my own
waiting
parted
desiring only you

 

[webber1998]

Feisty,

What I didn't know I wanted, you have given to me.
What I didn't think I needed, you have given to me.
What I had lost, you have given to me.

For those things that you have given freely to me, I hope to repay you for eternity.

Webber,
The first time I read this, my heart was beating so hard & fast I couldn't breath... Darling, I don't recall anyone ever having taken my breath away. I've heard musicians sing about it in songs but could never imagine it. Then I felt the tears welling in my eyes... again... You have left me speechless many times over the last few days...and its happened once again...
Darling, I am so happy you have shared with me what you have today. My heart is still pounding and I am crying tears of joy. You have made me complete my love. Each beat of my heart whispers your name...Webber...Webber

SK sent this to us earlier. We were very touched by the words that she had written. She has graciously allowed us to post it here. It has such an insight into the way that we feel...


"What SK wrote as she read the soul you healed".

I tried to avoid pain
and ended up avoiding life
I refused to see the chance to love again
but you never tried to force me to understand
to open up
rather in the warmth of your soul
my heart melted
my soul rejoiced
my eyes opened
and I saw you.

You saved me from the icy prison
I had built around my heart
you step quietly through the door
and opened the sealed window
allowing the light of hope into my soul.

words can never express
the thanks you deserve
the love I wish to show you
for making me whole again
and restoring my spirit

you are an angel of love
bring winds of change
and of new love to my aged heart
turning back time
making my soul and heart young again

I will love you forever
cherish each day
knowing that you saved more than my life
you saved my soul and heart
which I now give to you



Thank you SK...

And Feisty, the one that has so touched my broken heart.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~ my love ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Perhaps, one of my favorite songs...


STAND BY ME ~ Ben E. King
(Ben E. King / Jerry Leiber / Mike Stoller)

When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we'll see
No I won't be afraid, no I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand, stand by me

And darling, darling, stand by me, oh now, now stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me

If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
And the mountains should crumble to the sea
I won't cry, I won't cry, no I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand, stand by me

And darling, darling, stand by me, oh stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me, stand by me-e, yeah

Whenever you're in trouble won't you stand by me, oh now, now stand by me
Oh stand by me, stand by me, stand by me

Darling, darling, stand by me-e, stand by me
Oh stand by me, stand by me, stand by me
