Lyrics | A Love Song lyrics

I'm a Kenny Rogers fan as far as his songs are concerned. He has a lot of songs that I know so well. I will be writing some of them here too, on my future blogs. I knew the song first before I have discovered that this Love Song was sung my Kenny. I guess he is also the original singer, I just wonder why I did not recognize his voice when I first heard this.


Because of my prodding, my friend permitted me to write this story. I am writing about a friend from my last workplace. She's the best I had when I was still working there. You see, we shared a lot of things. But wait, there's more...!

I mean, let me tell something more about her :-)

She's pretty, sweet, friendly, caring and most of all, a very proud mom! If you'll see his cute little boy, I'm sure you'd be very, very proud too! Our first encounter was in Waterhole in Shangri-La EDSA. She had the offer she can't resist so she joined our company and would-soon-to-be one of my trainees in one of our projects. Since then, we exchanged issues, shared ideas, communicated frustrations and the rest is history. We would then become so updated with each other. Thanks to modern technology.

One of our conversations back then was about her failing relationship, and I told her everything we talked about reminded me of this song. I guess the way they relationship is ending made me think of this song. It was just about saying goodbye, nothing else. From my point, the reason of the doomed relationship is: wanting to say goodbye. I said I don't like "goodbyes" and she said "who would be happy with goodbyes?" but have to say it after all. I didn't want to hear goodbye, but what is more important for me is her happiness. To make the story shorter: So there was a goodbye but it was more of a relief for her to see someone-she-used-to-love free again and now a happily engaged person.

Now, I am happy for my friend. I feel sad about that part but all the more, I am still happy for her. And now I miss her because I bade her goodbye. I just had to leave the company. We are still friends and I know we'll remain that way through eternity. I have to write this story because I also said goodbye and now we're 5-hour-bus-ride-apart.

Here's the song:

It's my brother's birthday today. We just came from their house and we had a little chat from the past and then I remembered this song from one of the local bands. I used to like this song, in fact, I like all of their songs in their first album. Next to my favorite band, Eraserheads, is Rivermaya. If you want to know where they got their names, you can find it elsewhere. But for sure, one thing that attracted me to Rivermaya is the word "maya". It is the national bird of my beloved country and I'm not sure if it would mean anything to you but I like them. One time I was in the zoo with my cousin, we just looked at the mayas (plural) in the cage. It's as if we don't see maya everyday. I just admired them. Despite of their tiny built, they are still free -free as a bird- as they say. I also used to have a friend back in college named Maya, and I missed her. I don't know where she is now. I will try to trace later on.

So much about the maya. It's my brother's birthday! He's the only guy who had been so close to my heart. He is my big brother. Of course my little brother (who is taller than me) is also close to me and I love my family! I will talk about him later on the show (huh? show? haha, as if!) My big brother is different. He is just quiet most of the time and who doesn't love quiet people? I know why he is just quiet. He abhors arguments, period.

If there is one song I know he would appreciate is this one. Just read the lyrics and you'll see what I mean. It's being someone you always wanted to be and still be afforded the love one needed and wanted. Sometimes, we dare to do everything we want at the expense of other people's feelings. So, what do we need to consider? Is it others' happiness or your own? My brother gives an assurance like that. Do your own thing and he'll still stick by your side -understanding, encouraging and loving you. He got himself a very lucky wife, and two loving daughters.

Enjoy the song, lyrics and photo. The man in grey shirt is my BIG brother. The cute little gir making face in front of the photo is his cute Kyla and the one beside him is his lovely Cyrelle. Til next story!



Am I real?
Do the words I speak before you make feel
That the love I've got for you will see no ending?
Well if you look into my eyes then you should know
That you have nothing here to doubt nothing to fear
And you can lay your questions down 'cause if you'll hold me
we can fade into the night and you'll know

CHORUS:
The world would die and everything may lie
Still you shan't cry 'Cause time may pass
But longer than it'll last I'll be by your side

Take my hand
And gently close your eyes so you could understand
That there's no greater love tonight than what I've for you
Well if you feel the same way for me then let go
We can journey to a garden no one knows
Life is short my darling tell me that you love me
So we can fade into the night and you'll know
The world could die and everything may lie
But you won't cry 'cause time may pass
And everything won't last but I'll be by your side
Forever by your side so you won't cry

Song Lyrics

I have mentioned about this song in my previous blogs. This is my favorite videoke song, and my sister too. I love to sing this song because of it's very lively tone plus the chance to dance on its interlude or instrumental part. I'd rather sing it than dance to it. My sister is good in both dancing and singing so I grab the mic from her when we reach the instrumental part of this song. (That's her with our new baby in the family, Chezka.)

I remembered to write about this song because I was thinking of the previous post from raimster16. I asked myself "what if the boyfriend came back, not to love her back, but just to give her hope". It is not far from possible because sometimes we tend to love a person (or so we thought) because we feel sorry about them. We don't want to see them crying. It's like there is something we could do but that is a quicksand, if you know what I mean.

We feel so sorry about them to the extent that we neglect our own happiness just to see such people to be happy. I do that, so don't wonder why I had this thought coming around. So I said, go ahead raimster, you can do it! You will survive this by yourself. You wouldn't need him again if he will just give you false hopes. That's when I remembered to write about this song.

I also would like to talk about my sister whom I'm reminded when I hear this song. I love her and I would never trade anybody else for her. She is the best for me! So to my best friend, my drinking buddy, my favorite sister, my "ATE"... We will survive as we always do!

I love you siz!

Thank you raimster16 for this story:

Hi there! I read your blog and I wanted to share to you my story about this song by America.

My experience with this song is very sad because that is when my boyfriend left me after 7 years of being together. I want to seek revenge but I cannot do it. He was so dear to me because he knows me inside and out. He knows when I want to cry and why I want to cry. I wanted to tell him that I need him, not as my boyfriend or someone intimate but someone who knows me, someone I can cry on and someone I can feel genuine affection. I know he’s a very happy soon-to-be-married man and I want him to stay that way. I hope he can read this so that he will know that I need him and when he comes to me, I will embrace him with my two hands because I just needed him beside me. Last night we talked and I never told him about this song but now my heart is singing it out for me.

I know I was hurt when he left me. I am still hurting until now and I can’t forget how he hurt me. I will not try to win him back. I just want him to be there for me when I need him. And I guess he promised he will.

“I just need you.”

We used to laugh, we used to cry

We used to bow our heads then, wonder why

And now you're gone, I guess I'll carry on

And make the best of what you've left to me

Left to me, left to me

I need you like the flower needs the rain

You know I need you,

guess I'll start it all again

You know I need you like the winter needs the spring

You know I need you,

I need you

And every day, I'd laugh the hours away

Just knowing you were thinking of me

And then it came that I was put to blame

For every story told about me

About me, about me

I need you like the flower needs the rain

You know I need you,

guess I'll start it all again You know I need you,

I need you

I need you like the winter needs the spring

You know I need you, guess

I'll start it all again

You know I need you,

I need you...

Isn’t it nice when after ending the relationship, you are still good friends? -0-

I used to hear my big brother say: there is a rainbow behind the clouds. I know he got it from somewhere and he was the first person that came to my mind when I heard this song. I love the rainbow and all the ideas that come with it. Ideas like "there's a pot of gold on rainbow's end" or "there's a rainbow after the rain" or "rainbows have the richest colors", and I'm reminded of Rainbow Bright. She's my favorite cartoon character when I was still a little kid. I seldom see her now, but I still have her in my heart. Well, I also remember this song playing back then. (Was it already playing before I was born or perhaps, when I already had a recollection of things happening around me.)

I am always amazed by rainbows and when I see them, I enjoy nature all the more.

I have a lot of memories when it comes to rainbows but for this particular song, the rendetion of Israel, struck me! Honestly, I first heard of it in the movie Finding Forrester, a different character portrayed by Sean Connery, being a literature enthusiast/an author/educator. He seemed an intelligent man in that movie and I liked him. I think everyone would wish there was a William Forrester in our midst when we are so unsure of what to do. At least we will be reminded that we have to move on... Like when it's raining hard, our consolation is... we'll get a rainbow. There is harmony after all the chaos that storms or rains bring. There is a calming effect on me when I remember the rainbow. I tell you, I really love nature and one of the wonders it leaves me is how the rainbow colors are orderly laid. There is a scientific explanation to that and I find it complicated so I'd rather wonder with awe and be amazed!

As I was searching for the lyrics of the song, i learned that it is actually some kind of a remix or blended song. Read on so you'll know what I mean. It's nice! It's all about the beauty of nature and our wonderful world!

So here is the song I got from Imeem. I tried to color the lyrics with the rainbow's colors. Hope you liked it.




Ooooo oooooo ohoohohoo
Ooooo ohooohoo oooohoo
Ooooo ohoohooo oohoooo
Oohooo oohoooho ooooho
Ooooo oooooo oooooo
Ooooo oooooo oooooo

Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
And the dreams that you dreamed of
Once in a lullaby ii ii iii
Somewhere over the rainbow
Blue birds fly
And the dreams that you dreamed of
Dreams really do come true ooh ooooh
Someday I'll wish upon a star
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me ee ee eeh
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
High above the chimney tops thats where you'll find me oh
Somewhere over the rainbow bluebirds fly
And the dream that you dare to,why, oh why can't I? i iiii

Well I see trees of green and
Red roses too,
I'll watch them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world

Well I see skies of blue and I see clouds of white
And the brightness of day
I like the dark and I think to myself
What a wonderful world

The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people passing by
I see friends shaking hands
Saying, "How do you do?"
They're really saying, I...I love you
I hear babies cry and I watch them grow,
They'll learn much more
Than we'll know
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world (w)oohoorld

Someday I'll wish upon a star,
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
High above the chimney top that's where you'll find me
Oh, Somewhere over the rainbow way up high
And the dream that you dare to, why, oh why can't I? I hiii ?

Ooooo oooooo oooooo
Ooooo oooooo oooooo
Ooooo oooooo oooooo
Ooooo oooooo oooooo
Ooooo oooooo oooooo
Ooooo oooooo oooooo

This is a very famous song. I just recently learned that Roberta Flack's rendetion of Killing Me Softly (with his song) is a song about Don McLean while he is singing American Pie. There are a lot of websites there avaialable to give you the meaning of this song. As for me, this is how my story goes:

I have been meaning to write about this song because this song reminds me of the person who made this blog site for me. I told her my idea, never intended that she'll be spending like 48 hours to create this site.

She's my dad's cousin but within my generation, we're 4 years apart. She used to have a huge collection of turntable records (I'm not really sure how they are called right now because they have been replaced by CDs, mini CDs and DVDs). It was an awe to see a turntable, the fact being that I grew from a far-flung area. We only knew about transistor radios, black & white TVs and a game called hide n' seek.

One of her collection was that of Don McLean. I first heard of this song from my aunt's collections. I appreciated it, but didn't bother to know the story behind this song. I would say she is a big fan of this artist. She has a good choice of music, you know. And she is the only person I knew who was so organized in things. She organized her collections, labeled them neatly and knew the contents of her collection by heart! When the first part of the movie series American Pie (Jason Biggs) came to the big screen, I instantly remembered my aunt. The reason being, she practically inculcated this song in my mind. I appreciated the song, not for it's lyrics or singer. I appreciated it because deep within me, I know this one will always tell me a story about my childhood days with my aunt.

This is one of the reasons why I wanted to talk about songs and music. Music connects the past and the future, like music lives forever!

Enjoy the music!




I put here a link where you can find the lyrics.
http://www.missamericanpie.co.uk/lyrics.html

My cousin is going out of town to be with her husband and told me I should write about this song. This is a new song, as far as I'm concerned because it's sung by a new singer, the famous Colbie! I asked her, her own story of this song and told me to just read the lyrics. Alright, I've read the lyrics and maybe, she's just trying to tell me something. She's always difficult to understand but when you get to understand her, she's just full of wonder, full of sense, full of fun and full of everything I miss about her.

I realized just right now that she has been more than a sister to me, more than a cousin and more than a friend. If there is one word I could say about her, if you will not misunderstand me - soulmate. Yeah, that's what I feel right now. Why did I say this?

Without a word, she understands me. She just understands! And now she's leaving, I'll miss her for sure but I will rejoice for her, the fact that she'll be living with her husband now. I know her husband, he's a good man and a very sincere person. We got the chance to be together and I am just happy that he loved my cousin more than anybody else.

As for his song... I got her point! But let me tell you... we had the time of our lives!!!

If she'll gonna read this when you get to your place, I will bear this in mind. I know you're reading my mind and I'm thankful I have you! You take care now! I know he's gonna take care of you more than I took care of you. Love you cuz!

This is the song you're leaving me with and I figured out what you're trying to tell me. That's the story behind this song... let's realize!
