A Favorite Song Of Mine.....

Yesterday while editing many, many photos I took at the Cincinnati Flower Show (they turned out very well, thankyouverymuch!), I was listening to music. I like all sorts of music-- I am discovering this about myself. Anyway, as I have said in previous posts, music has a huge place in my life, even though I cannot play an instrument, and to be honest while I can sing, my voice is not good enough to become a pro. Music soothes me. Music makes me cry. Music makes me laugh. Music makes me energized, pumped up, or at the opposite makes calm, and sleepy.

As life right now is not the most enjoyable it has been, I have been listening to more and more music, and pulling away from people. I don't know if I just need to be by myself, which is not usually how I am, I usually like having people around, or if I just feel beaten and want to sulk. All I know is that right now I feel like I have just fought a huge battle, and another one has been scheduled for the next hour, and the hour after that, and so and so forth.

So I heard a song that I love. Here are the lyrics!

Tough, you think you've got the stuff
You're telling me and anyone
You're hard enough

You don't have to put up a fight
You don't have to always be right
Let me take some of the punches
For you tonight

Listen to me now
I need to let you know
You don't have to go it alone

And it's you when I look in the mirror
And it's you when I don't pick up the phone
Sometimes you can't make it on your own

We fight all the time
You and I...that's alright
We're the same soul
I don't need...I don't need to hear you say
That if we weren't so alike
You'd like me a whole lot more

Listen to me now
I need to let you know
You don't have to go it alone
And it's you when I look in the mirror
And it's you when I don't pick up the phone
Sometimes you can't make it on your own

I know that we don't talk
I'm sick of it all
Can - you - hear - me - when - I -
Sing, you're the reason I sing
You're the reason why the opera is in me...

Where are we now?
I've got to let you know
A house still doesn't make a home
Don't leave me here alone...

And it's you when I look in the mirror
And it's you that makes it hard to let go
Sometimes you can't make it on your own
Sometimes you can't make it
The best you can do is to fake it
Sometimes you can't make it on your own
