    Moments...

    Any country fans heard this song, Moments, by Emerson Drive? Such a wonderful, powerful song. I love it.

    Here are the lyrics:

    I was coming to the end of a long long walk
    When a man crawled out of a cardboard box
    Under the E. Street Bridge
    Followed me on to it
    I went out halfway across
    With that homeless shadow tagging along
    So I dug for some change
    Wouldn't need it anyway
    He took it lookin' just a bit ashamed
    He said, You know
    I haven't always been this way

    I've had my moments, days in the sun
    Moments I was second to none
    Moments when I knew I did what I thought
    I couldn't do
    Like that plane ride coming home from the war
    That summer my son was born
    And memories like a coat so warm
    A cold wind can't get through
    Lookin' at me now you might not know it
    But I've had my moments

    I stood there tryin' to find my nerve
    Wondering if a single soul on Earth
    Would care at all
    Miss me when I'm gone
    That old man just kept hanging around
    Lookin' at me, lookin' down
    I think he recognized
    That look in my eyes
    Standing with him there I felt ashamed
    I said, You know
    I haven't always felt this way

    I've had my moments, days in the sun
    Moments I was second to none
    Moments when I knew I did what I thought
    I couldn't do
    Like the day I walked away from the wine
    For a woman who became my wife
    And a love that, when it was right,
    Could always see me through
    Lookin' at me now you might not know it
    But I've had my moments

    I know somewhere 'round a trashcan fire tonight
    That old man tells his story one more time
    He says

    I've had my moments, days in the sun
    Moments I was second to none
    Moments when I knew I did what I thought I
    couldn't do
    Like that cool night on the E. Street Bridge
    When a young man almost ended it
    I was right there, wasn't scared a bit
    And I helped to pull him through
    Lookin' at me now you might not know it
    Oh, lookin' at me now you might not know it
    But I've had my moments..

    It's a beautiful song. A majority of country songs give me chills, goosebumps, touch me, etc.



    Here's one of my favorites..

    Amazed by Lonestar

    Every time our eyes meet
    This feeling inside me
    Is almost more than I can take
    Baby when you touch me
    I can feel how much you love me
    And it just blows me away
    I've never been this close to anyone or anything
    I can hear your thoughts
    I can see your dreams

    I don't know how you do what you do
    I'm so in love with you
    It just keeps getting better
    I want to spend the rest of my life
    With you by my side
    Forever and ever
    Every little thing that you do
    Baby, I'm amazed by you

    The smell of your skin
    The taste of your kiss
    The way you whisper in the dark
    Your hair all around me
    Baby you surround me
    You touch every place in my heart
    Oh, it feels like the first time, every time
    I want to spend the whole night in your eyes

    Chorus

    Solo

    Every little thing that you do
    I'm so in love with you
    It just keeps getting better
    I want to spend the rest of my life
    With you by my side
    Forever and ever
    Every little thing that you do
    Baby, I'm amazed by you


    It's one of my songs for Kiara.

    ~Kay, Athena, Ace, Kiara, Mufasa, & Alice!
    "So baby take a axe to your makeup kit
    Set ablaze the billboards and their advertisements
    Love with all your hearts and never forget
    How good it feels to be alive
    And strive for your desire"

    -rx bandits

    This is one of my favorites...not my favorite though...

    I love it because I am really close to my dad, and I think this would be such a great father and daughter song for a wedding.

    It's Tim Mcgraw's My Little Girl


    Gotta hold on easy as I let you go.
    Gonna tell you how much I love you,
    though you think you already know.
    I remember I thought you looked like an angel wrapped in pink so soft and warm.
    You've had me wrapped around your finger since the day you were born.

    Your beautiful baby from the outside in.
    Chase your dreams but always know the road that'll lead you home again.
    Go on, take on this whole world.
    But to me you know you'll always be, my little girl.

    When you were in trouble that crooked little smile could melt my heart of stone.
    Now look at you, I've turned around and you've almost grown.
    Sometimes you're asleep I whisper "I Love You!" in the moonlight at your door.
    As I walk away, I hear you say, "Daddy Love You More!".

    Your beautiful baby from the outside in.
    Chase your dreams but always know the road that'll lead you home again.
    Go on, take on this whole world.
    But to me you know you'll always be, my little girl.

    Someday, some boy will come and ask me for your hand.
    But I won't say "yes" to him unless I know, he's the half
    that makes you whole, he has a poet's soul, and the heart of a man's man.
    I know he'll say that he's in love.
    But between you and me. He won't be good enough!

    Your beautiful baby from the outside in.
    Chase your dreams but always know the road that'll lead you home again.
    Go on, take on this whole world.
    But to me you know you'll always be, my little girl.

    This is the words to "One More Day" by Diamond Rio. It's a very special song to me. When I knew it was time to send my long coat Chihuahua, Killer, to the RB, I picked this song for her. I heard it on the radio and thought it was perfect. After we left the vet's office and I was driving her to the crematory, I turned on the last road to the place and this song came on the radio. It was unbelievable. I almost had to pull over it was so moving. I'll never forget it. Rest in Peace sweetheart

    (Steven Dale Jones/Bobby Tomberlin)

    Last night I had a crazy dream
    A wish was granted just for me
    It could be for anything
    I didn't ask for money
    Or a mansion in Malibu
    I simply wished, for one more day with you

    One more day
    One more time
    One more sunset, maybe I'd be satisfied
    But then again
    I know what it would do
    Leave me wishing still, for one more day with you

    First thing I'd do, is pray for time to crawl
    Then I'd unplug the telephone
    And keep the TV off
    I'd hold you every second
    Say a million I love you's
    That's what I'd do, with one more day with you

    One more day
    One more time
    One more sunset, maybe I'd be satisfied
    But then again
    I know what it would do
    Leave me wishing still, for one more day with you

    Leave me wishing still, for one more day
    Leave me wishing still, for one more day


    I've been Boo'd...
    Thanks Barry!

    I LOVE this song.. It comes on EVERY time when I'm with Mike.. we just laugh and listen to it.. well, Mike sings along to it.. especially with the "a little bit of you lovin' up on me" part and he nudges his arm against mine and smiles at me..

    "Little Bit of Life" by Craig Morgan:

    A little bit of guitar
    A little bit of truck
    A little bit of hound dog
    and a little bit of luck
    A little bit of bacon
    a little bit of beans
    A little bit of you lovin' up on me
    A little bit of how it's supposed to be
    A little bit of life

    A little bit of backseat
    A little bit of moon
    A little bit of radio
    goin' boom boom boom
    A little bit of sugar
    A little bit of spice
    A little bit of nasty
    A little bit of nice
    A little bit of how it's supposed to be
    A little bit of life

    CHORUS
    i breathe in, i breathe out
    yeah, sleepin' all night with windows down
    up in the mornin' stirrin' around
    drink a pot of coffee and I head off to town
    work, work, work, all day long
    crank it up, back it up, bring it on home
    supper on the table and i eat me a bite
    we snuggle on the porch by the pale moonlight
    A little bit of me and you doin' alright
    A little bit of life

    A little bit of tractor
    A little bit of farm
    A little bit of cornfield
    A little bit of barn
    A little bit of come on
    A little bit of play
    A little bit of yee haw in the hay
    A dixie cup of homemade wine
    A little bit of life

    repeat chorus

    A little bit of back-porch
    A little bit of swing
    A little bit of windchimes goin' ding-a-ling
    A little bit of t.v
    A little bit of couch
    popcorn smellin' up the house
    a la mode i'm havin' a slice of homemade pie
    A little bit of life

    REPEAT CHORUS
    a little bit of me and you doin' alright
    a little bit of life
    yeah, a little bit of life

    A little bit of guitar
    A little bit of truck
    A little bit of hound dog
    a little bit of luck
    A little bit of backseat
    A little bit of moon
    A little bit of radio
    boom boom boom
    A little bit of bacon
    a little bit of beans
    A little bit of you lovin' up on me
    You're the one sure thing I've found so you better stick around...

    Great songs everyone...

    Just thought of this one...I was at my friend's house, and we were waiting for the vet to arrive to put her horse to sleep and had the radio on-and right after he left us, this came on.
    The Dance-Garth Brooks-

    Looking back on the memory of
    The dance we shared 'neath the stars alone
    For a moment all the world was right
    How could I have known that you'd ever say goodbye

    And now I'm glad I didn't know
    The way it all would end the way it all would go
    Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain
    But I'd of had to miss the dance

    Holding you I held everything
    For a moment wasn't I a king
    But if I'd only known how the king would fall
    Hey who's to say you know I might have chanced it all

    And now I'm glad I didn't know
    The way it all would end the way it all would go
    Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain
    But I'd of had to miss the dance

    Yes my life is better left to chance
    I could have missed the pain but I'd of had to miss the dance ...

    Mindy Smith...Hurricane

    I felt the
    Faint trace of thunder
    Rattle this old house
    I saw the fire light the sky
    But there's no sign of rain anywhere

    I need a hurricane
    To empty out this place
    Seems it's the only way
    To salvage any sense I have left
    To move on

    I'm waiting
    To hear your voice again
    And lighten up this heart
    I'm holding on to stupid memories
    But I see you in every little thing

    I need a hurricane
    To straighten out this place
    It may be the only way
    To salvage any sense I have left
    To move on

    I need a hurricane
    To ravage through this place
    I think it's the only way
    To salvage any sense
    I have left
    To move on

    I felt the
    Faint trace of thunder
    But there's no sign of rain anywhere
    No, there's no sign of you anywhere




    ...I like the song because it's a way I've felt before, where I knew the only way I could move on was for the proverbial bottom to fall out of my life. It happened and it really did clean up my life.
    The idea that some lives matter less is the root of all that is wrong with the world. - Dr. Paul Farmer

    Love everone's songs.
    This is one of my favorite country songs:
    How do you get that lonely by Blaine Larson

    It was just another story written on the second page
    Underneath the Tiger's football score
    It said he was only eighteen, a boy about my age
    They found him face down on the bedroom floor

    There'll be services on Friday at the Lawrence Funeral Home
    Then out on Mooresville highway, they'll lay him 'neath a stone...

    How do you get that lonely, how do you hurt that bad
    To make you make the call, that havin' no life at all
    Is better than the life that you had
    How do you feel so empty, you want to let it all go
    How do you get that lonely... and nobody know

    Did his girlfriend break up with him, did he buy or steal that gun?
    Did he lose a fight with drugs or alcohol?
    Did his Mom and Daddy forget to say I love you son?
    Did no one see the writing on the wall?

    I'm not blamin' anybody, we all do the best we can
    I know hindsight's 20/20, but I still don't understand...

    How do you get that lonely, how do you hurt that bad
    To make you make the call, that havin' no life at all
    Is better than the life that you had
    How do you feel so empty, you want to let it all go
    How do you get that lonely... and nobody know

    It was just another story printed on the second page
    Underneath the Tiger's football score...

    I feel just like Kay mentioned......most countyr songs give me the chilla and many more LES.......

    I loved them all.......Amazed is one of my faves though.......all time fave...

    there is this other one I canīt seem to know what itīs called but maybe you know......
    I think itīs about a man that is saying he loves this girl and such and he loved her since they were kids and now all grown up......I canīt remember it well, but i think it also involves something yellow, maybe a ribbon or a dress, like I loved that girl in yellow and now shes all grown up or something.....sorry Iīm such blank minded right now.....itīs not that old song maybe from early 2000 or so.....

    theres also this one......(another one nameless LOL) that says

    Iīll kiss you with the windows open and the rain comes pouring inside.....*i think*
