Favorite Song Lyrics
CellarDweller:
Ok here is a song that means A LOT to me.
about 10 years ago, when I first came out, I went to see a friend at work. She worked in a small boutique, and I went in. She was alone, and could see I was nervous. I told her I had just told my dad that I was gay, and it didn't go as well as I hoped.
On top of that, my mom told me that she had already told him I was gay (I came out to her the week before) because she was worried about his reaction.
This was all within the first few weeks of the new year, and had only told my friends that new year's eve/day. She reached under the counter, and got a card. She handed it to me, hugged me, and I left. I got to my car, and let it warm up, and read the card.
In it she wrote about how special I was, how much she loved me, and that I would always have her and her husband to be there for me.
As I sat there reading and crying, this song came on the radio, and any time I hear it, it brings me back to that day.
For all those times you stood by me
For all the truth that you made me see
For all the joy you brought to my life
For all the wrong that you made right
For every dream you made come true
For all the love I found in you
I'll be forever thankful baby
You're the one who held me up
Never let me fall
You're the one who saw me through through it all
You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me
You gave me wings and made me fly
You touched my hand I could touch the sky
I lost my faith, you gave it back to me
You said no star was out of reach
You stood by me and I stood tall
I had your love I had it all
I'm grateful for each day you gave me
Maybe I don't know that much
But I know this much is true
I was blessed because I was loved by you
You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me
You were always there for me
The tender wind that carried me
A light in the dark shining your love into my life
You've been my inspiration
Through the lies you were the truth
My world is a better place because of you
You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me
"Because You Loved Me"
Celine Dion

Chuck, that is one of the most beautiful songs. I know it so well and I bet I have probably listened to it a million times. Celine Dion's music is very important to me, probably more so than any singer. It seems that she has always spoken the words I am feeling or said the things I want to say. To be in the position you were in and to have that song come on the radio while you were reading the letter, well that would just be truly something special. I can see where it would take you back to that day. It always amazes me how certain songs can take you back to times in your life.

I had really hoped to be able to see her show in Vegas... I heard it is closing down this year... and there ain't no way I can make it to Vegas before next summer. Have you guys seen it?
her=Celine Dion
jstephens9:
No, unfortunately, I did not get to see it. You are right that it is ending and it may have already ended. I've never been to Vegas. Be sure to pick up her new cd "Taking Chances" It is very good as are all of her CDs even the French ones although I have no idea what she is saying.

I heard this song today and found the lyrics. I don't ever remember hearing it, but I like the words. Great song!!!
Watch The Wind Blow By
by Tim McGraw
Creek goes rippling by
I’ve been barefoot and all day with my baby
Brown leaves have started falling
Leading the way
I like it best just like this
Doing nothing all the way
So let’s lay down in the tall grass
Dreaming away
And all I wanna do is let it be and be with you
And watch the wind blow by
And all I wanna see is you and me go on forever
Like the clear blue sky
Slowly, there’s only
You and i
And all I want to do is watch the wind blow by
Girl, you know you told me not so long ago
To let it come, then let it pass
And all your troubles and your sorrows
They won’t last
So let me kiss you now, little darling
Beneath this autumn moon
Cold wind, another season
Will be here soon
And all I wanna do is let it be and be with you
And watch the wind blow by
And all I wanna see is you and me go on forever
Like the clear blue sky
Slowly, there’s only
You and i
And all I want to do is watch the wind blow by
