The NYC Subway will never be the same…

Song of the day:

Longest Time by Billy Joel (www.billyjoel.com)

Oh, oh, oh
For the longest time
Oh, oh, oh
For the longest time
If you said goodbye to me tonight
There would still be music left to write
What else could I do
I’m so inspired by you
That hasn’t happened for the longest time

Once I thought my innocence was gone
Now I know that happiness goes on
That’s where you found me
When you put your arms around me
I haven’t been there for the longest time

Oh, oh, oh
For the longest time
Oh, oh, oh
For the longest
I’m that voice you’re hearing in the hall
And the greatest miracle of all
Is how I need you
And how you needed me too
That hasn’t happened for the longest time

Maybe this won’t last very long
But you feel so right
And I could be wrong
Maybe I’ve been hoping too hard
But I’ve gone this far
And it’s more than I hoped for

Who knows how much further we’ll go on
Maybe I’ll be sorry when you’re gone
I’ll take my chances
I forgot how nice romance is
I haven’t been there for the longest time

I had second thoughts at the start
I said to myself
Hold on to your heart
Now I know the woman that you are
You’re wonderful so far
And it’s more than I hoped for

I don’t care what consequence it brings
I have been a fool for lesser things
I want you so bad
I think you ought to know that
I intend to hold you for the longest time

Oh Oh Oh
For the longest time
Oh Oh Oh
For the longest time
Oh Oh Oh
For the longest time

I Am…

Song of the day:

Displaced by Azure Ray (www.azureraymusic.com)

It’s just a simple line
I can still hear it all of the time
If I can just hold on tonight
I know that nothing
Nothing survives
Nothing survives
I think I’m turned around
I’m looking up
Not looking down
And when I’m standing still
Watching you run
Watching you fall
Fall into me

Am I making something worthwhile out of this place
Am I making something worthwhile out of this chase
I am displaced
I am displaced

And she’s my friend of all friends
She’s still here when everyone’s gone
She doesn’t have to say a thing
We’ll just keep laughing all night long
All night long

Am I making something worthwhile out of this place
Am I making something worthwhile out of this chase
I am displaced
I am displaced

It’s just a simple line
I can still hear it all of the time
If I can just hold on tonight
I know that no one
No one survives
No one survives.

Rick’s never heard this song!

Song of the day: Picked by Heather

Insensitive by Jann Arden (as heard in Winn-Dixie, the store, not the movie) (www.jannarden.com)

How do you cool your lips
After a summer’s kiss
How do you rid the sweat
After the body bliss
How do you turn your eyes
From the romantic glare
How do you block the sound
Of a voice you’d know anywhere

Oh, I really should have known
By the time you drove me home
By the vagueness in your eyes
Casual good-byes
By the chill in your embrace
The expression on your face
That told me
Maybe You might have some advice to give
On how to be
Insensitive

How do you numb your skin
After the warmest touch
How do you slow your blood
After the body rush
How do you free your soul
After you’ve found a friend
How do you teach your heart
It’s a crime to fall in love again

Oh, you probably won’t remember me
It’s probably ancient history
I’m one of the chosen few
Who went ahead and fell for you
I’m out of vogue, I’m out of touch
I fell too fast, I feel too much
I thought that you might have
Some advice to give on how to be
Insensitive

Growing Rose Trees

Song of the day:

Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters by Elton John (www.eltonjohn.com)
Covered by Mandy Moore (www.mandymoore.com)

 

And now I know
Spanish Harlem are not just pretty words to say
I thought I knew
But now I know that rose trees never grow in New York City

Until you’ve seen this trash can dream come true
You stand at the edge while people run you through
And I thank the Lord there’s people out there like you
I thank the Lord there’s people out there like you

While Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters
Sons of bankers, sons of lawyers
Turn around and say good morning to the night
For unless they see the sky
But they can’t and that is why
They know not if it’s dark outside or light

This Broadway’s got
It’s got a lot of songs to sing
If I knew the tunes I might join in
I’ll go my way alone
Grow my own, my own seeds shall be sown in New York City

Subway’s no way for a good man to go down
Rich man can ride and the hobo he can drown
And I thank the Lord for the people I have found
I thank the Lord for the people I have found

While Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters
Sons of bankers, sons of lawyers
Turn around and say good morning to the night
For unless they see the sky
But they can’t and that is why
They know not if it’s dark outside or light

I surrender to You

Song of the day:

Place in my Heart by RAZE

Nothing compares to a mother’s love
A hiding place when push comes to shove
Cinderella’s dreams, diamond rings
I try to fill my heart, with earthly things
Still there is a place that seems so empty
It’s the deepest part of me
That only you can fill

There’s a place in my heart
That I want you near
It’s a place in my heart
I hold most dear
There’s a place in my heart
That wants you so
But it’s so hard to let it go

Just the other day, I turned my thoughts astray
From a history of reason to give my heart away
This thought progressed through time
The path seemed unkind
Lonely and clear it overwhelmed my mind
And if I release this part of me, dear Lord
Is it true what you say
Am I received as your child

There’s a place in my heart
That I want you near
It’s a place in my heart
I hold most dear
There’s a place in my heart
That wants you so
But it’s so hard to let it go

Life is hard, this world is cold
I need you more and more today
I build up walls to stop the pain
It still won’t go won’t go away
Surrendering on bended knee
This part of me I surrender to you

There’s a place in my heart
That I want you near
It’s a place in my heart
I hold most dear
There’s a place in my heart
That wants you so
But it’s so hard to let it go

Lovely Rob

Song of the day:

Lonely No More  by Rob Thomas (www.matchboxtwenty.com) I picked this song, not for any personal significance, but mostly ’cause it’s a darn good song…yea for Rob Thomas!

Now it seems to me
That you know just what to say
Words are only words
Can you show me something else
Can you swear to me that you’ll always be this way
Show me how you feel
More than ever baby

I don’t wanna be lonely no more
I don’t wanna have to pay for this
I don’t want to know the lover at my door
Is just another heartache on my list

I don’t wanna be angry no more
You know I could never stand for this
So when you tell me that you love me know for sure
I don’t want to be lonely anymore

Now its hard for me with my heart still on the mend
Open up to me, like you do your girlfriends
And you sing to me and it’s harmony
Girl, what you do to me is everything
Make me say anything; just to get you back again
Why can we just try

I don’t wanna be lonely no more
I don’t wanna have to pay for this
I don’t want to know the lover at my door
Is just another heartache on my list

I don’t wanna be angry no more
You know I could never stand for this
So when you tell me that you love me know for sure
I don’t want to be lonely anymore

What if I was good to you, what if you were good to me
What if I could hold you till I feel you move inside of me
What if it was paradise, what if we were symphonies
What if I gave all my life to find some way to stand beside you

I don’t wanna be lonely no more
I don’t wanna have to pay for this
I don’t want to know the lover at my door
Is just another heartache on my list

I don’t wanna be angry no more
You know I could never stand for this
So when you tell me that you love me know for sure
I don’t want to be lonely anymore
