A song I do love... more now than ever because it's become a theme song in my mind for my never-boring relationship with someone who's going to be a part of me until they dspose of my corpse. And yes, I am on a music kick and even a bit of an oldies kick today... some of the songs I'm listening to, my sibs aren't even expected to know because they were so much before their (our) time. But that's what happens when you grow up with a mother who had the best singing voice I'd ever heard before she took up smoking a pack-and-a-half a day. This isn't one of the old ones, but it's amazing anyway.

Seems like after all we've been through
We would have learned by now
Never to fight for who gets the last word
It doesn't matter anyhow
But 'round and 'round we go in circles
Trying to work things through
And sometimes it feels like miles between us
But I keep coming back to you

CHORUS:
And it's rough
And it's tough
And it's harder than anything I've ever tried to do
But I love you so much that in spite of the struggle
I keep coming back to you

Hold me now, just think about this room
That we have shared so long
We've studied that map of cracks on the ceiling
Talking till the break of dawn
There is something strong as history
Telling me this love is true
They say "Follow your heart and you'll be happy"
So I keep coming back to you


I have to.

Beth says: ...to believe is to manifest, and in spite of all we must grieve, there is incredible hope and beauty in life.

Life gives us magic
And life brings us tragedy
Everyone suffers some loss
Still we have faith in it
Childlike hope
There's a reason that outweighs the cost

And gravity throws all these rules in our way
And sometimes the spirit refuses to play

Only the ones who believe
Ever see what they dream
Ever dream what comes true

-- The Color of Roses.

Oh, you are so cruel. ^_^

I'm stuck at work with no music, and now I have "Color of Roses" stuck in my head. I do love Chapman so!

Indeed. She is incredible -- turns me inside-out and makes me cry almost every time. "Strong Enough to Bend" and "Life Holds On" are among my favourites ever. Right now I don't dare post lyrics to "The Color of Roses." :)
