Pamela- I've always dreamed of singing this song for you. In my heart, I know that I have, maybe someday I actually will. It's everything I've always wanted to say to the only person in the world that I could ever say it to. Our love is a slow, sweet dance . . . Happy Anniversary, my Pamela (put on the headphones I've left for you. Loggins is simply amazing LIVE.)

Forever

Now, while we're here alone and all is said and done Now I can let you know because of all you've shown I'm grown enough to tell ya You'll always be inside of me. How many roads have gone by So many words left unspoken I needed to be be your side If only to hold you. Forever in my heart Forever we will be Even when I'm gone You'll be here in me Forever Once, I dreamed that you were gone I cried, I tried to find ya I begged the dream would fade away and please awaken me The night took a hold of my heart And left me with no one to follow The love that I grasped in the dark, I'll always remember Forever in my heart Forever we will be Even when I'm gone You'll be here in me Forever Forever in my heart Forever here you'll be Even when I'm gone You'll be near to me Forever in my life Always thought I'd be I'd be yours Forever . . .

A happy birthday to the original cat whisperer, Pamd. Love ya, milady. ~m ps. she's 35 again! Go figure.

Only my wife can say to me, (as she did tonight) "When are you going to write something on the blog? There's been nothing of substance lately. Where's the writing?" I hate when she's right. Write. Right. I have a few things cued up in need of definite editing so please check back on Monday. Thank God I have someone to give me some much needed toughlove, huh? Not everyone is as lucky. ;)

For some people, like myself, music defines an essential and necessary part of our lives. Thoughts, moments in time, emotions and overall philosophy regarding life can be found floating somewhere in between the bass and treble clef of a piece of music. I associate many times in my life with a particular piece of music, hence this post tonight. I wrote this post back in June but it's just appearing now, though I'm not sure why. Maybe God knows. I found a song that lyrically describes my current relationship with my wife, Pamela. And no, the word "booty" is found nowhere in the song. :wink: This song just made total sense to me, in every way. I tried like hell to find a recording or video to post but I came up empty handed. The lyrics to "East of Eden" by Michael McDonald describe our life to a tee. I recommend that you download the song off Itunes or better yet buy the album "Blink of an Eye". No shoddy links tonight, just some lyrics. These words perfectly describe me and the green-eyed woman that forever holds my heart in her hands. This is purely us . . .

East of Eden

The world goes mad around us While I stand by and watch you sleep In the hope that harm won't find us I pray the Lord our souls to keep Does he see us here Are we precious in his sight Or are we merely dust on this tiny ball He hurled out into the night Somewhere East of Eden. From the first time that we stumble We learn that nothing is assured However hopelessly we tumble It's by the grace of God that we endure. If there's some better place Far from all that's wrong But if God in his wisdom Saw fit to put you here Then this is where I belong Somewhere East of Eden. Maybe he laughs in our face By way of the cold hard fact That these moments framed in time and space Are the same ones nothing can bring back. "Maybe we exist and wander through this world Just to lead each other home" From somewhere East of Eden I love you Mrs. Murphy . . .
