old songs tend to lose their meaningafter being overplayed in the radio. almost everyday you hear themwhen you turn on your radio and scan the stations. i only appreciate them when i am in this certain moodand there is this certain ambiance in my environment. last night, i was watching american idol and their "theme" for that day wasold love songs. taylor's song hit me (can't find the right word), which was Just Once by james ingram. eventhough the three judges of the show had a bad comment on how he sang the song, it just sticked with me. the other one that struck me wasthe song by chris-have you ever really lode a woman (hope that i got the title correct).
I did my best
But I guess my best wasnt good enough
Cause here we are back where we were before
Seems nothing ever changes
Were back to being strangers
Wondering if we oughta stay
Or head on out the door
Just once cant we figure out what we keep doing wrong
Why we never last for very long
What are we doing wrong
Just once cant we find a way to finally make it right
Make the magic last for more than just one night
If we could just get to it
I know we could break through it
I gave my all
But I think my all may have been too much
Cause Lord knows were not getting anywhere
Seems were always blowing whatever we got going
And seems at times with all weve got
We havent got a prayer
Just once cant we figure out what we keep doing wrong
Why the goodtimes never last for very long
Seems were always blowing
Whatever we got going
Just once cant we find a way to finally make it right
Make the magic last for more than just one night
If we could just get to it
I know we could break through it
Just once I want to understand
Why it always come back to good-bye
Why cant we get ourselves in hand
And admit to one another
That were no good with out the other
Take the best and make it better
Find a way to stay together
Just once cant we find a way to finally make it right
Make the magic last for more than just one night
I know we can break through it
If we could just get to it
Just once
If we could get to it
Just Once...
**************
which one is easier, facing the truth or living with the truth?
for me, it is living with the truth. living with the truth means accepting it. facing challenges head on and moving with life.

the train is now blowing it's horn.
as steam escapes from its engine,
i got on the train and followed it's tracks.
tracks that will lead me away from you.
i don't know where i am heading,
but i am contented to know that you are happy.
