A Tear in My Beer....

[SimplySouthern]

Normally, you wouldn't catch me within 100 yards of a person who listened to country music, much less catch this chick driving down the road with the radio cranked to a local country station crying her eyes out.

But....

Today I heard (whilst scanning channels) a song that brought tears to my eyes. I had to come home and download it on Napster and cry along with it.

Looking back while thinking of the lyrics, it really isn't anything to cry about, but to me it sums up true love.


Kenny Chesney - If I Lost It

Chorus:

No one can make me cry
Make me laugh
Make me smile
Or drive me mad
Like she does.

It's like the curse
That is the cure
For better or worse
One things for sure
It's real love

And I don't know what I'd do
If I lost it.


That's all. No sappy vows of anything eternal. Just a man explaining what his woman means to him.

Any of you have a song like this? Something that makes you think of the one you love? Something that brings a little tear to the eye.

C'mon. I'm in a sappy mood. Make me cry...I dare ya!

 

[Rosebud]

By Garth Brooks




When the rain is blowing in your face
And the whole world is on your case
I could offer you a warm embrace
To make you feel my love

When evening shadows and the stars appear
And there is no one to dry your tears
I could hold you for a million years
To make you fell my love

I know you haven't made your mind up yet
And I would never do you wrong
I've known it from the moment that we met
There's not doubt in my mind where you belong

I'd go hungry, I'd go black and blue
I'd go crawling down the avenue
There ain't nothing that I wouldn't do
To make you feel my love

The storms are raging on a rolling sea
And on the highway of regret
The winds of change are blowing wild and free
You ain't seen nothin' like me yet

There and nothin' that I wouldn't do
Go to the ends of the earth for you
Make you happy make your dreams come true
To make you feel my love

 

[R Nitelight]

I love country music. I listen to it all the time.

If you've been following the life of Nitelight (And who hasn't?) then you know my love is away and out of touch. After she left, I heard this song for the first time, and I couldn't believe how perfectly it summed up what I was feeling. Now I listen to it a couple of times a day, whenever I'm feeling a little down. I can't wait to share it with her.



I'd like to credit the composer, but I don't know it.

It's called One More Day, and it's recorded by Diamond Rio


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 by the pool
I simply asked for one more day with you.

(Chorus)
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 leave the TV off.
I'd hold you every second, say a million I love yous.
That's what I'd do with one more day with you.

(Chorus)

"Goodbye Earl" does it for me. R Nitelight play Earl instead of Dennis Franz in MY video.

 

[RonG]

Try Mary Chapin Carpenter for country music that won't make you gag.

This Shirt
(Mary Chapin Carpenter)

This shirt is old and faded
All the color's washed away
I've had it now for more damn years
Than I can count anyway
I wear it beneath my jacket
With the collar turned up high
So old I should replace it
But I'm not about to try

This shirt's got silver buttons
And a place upon the sleeve
Where I used to set my heart up
Right there anyone could see
This shirt is the one I wore to every boring high school dance
Where the boys ignored the girls
And we all pretended to like the band

This shirt was a pillow for my head
On a train through Italy
This shirt was a blanket beneath the love
We made in Argeles
This shirt was lost for three whole days
In a town near Buffalo
'Till I found the locker key
In a downtown Trailways bus depot

This shirt was the one I lent you
And when you gave it back
There was a rip inside the sleeve
Where you rolled your cigarettes
It was the place I put my heart
Now look at where you put a tear
I forgave your thoughtlessness
But not the boy who put it there

This shirt was the place your cat
Decided to give birth to five
And we stayed up all night watching
And we wept when the last one died
This shirt is just an old faded piece of cotton
Shining like the memories
Inside those silver buttons

This shirt is a grand old relic
With a grand old history
I wear it now for Sunday chores
Cleaning house and raking leaves
I wear it beneath my jacket
With the collar turned up high
So old I should replace it
But I'm not about to try<!--

Still Breathing

I've got a way of walking fences,
and keeping the keys of my soul, in the pockets of my pain.

But as time goes on I tend to be too strong, and my strength can kill my weaknesses that need to be seen.....

You can see a vision, if you give your heart,
You will find out who you really are.....


Still breathing, I'm still here breathing.
Has love forgotten how to say my name?
Still waiting, I'm still here waiting.
How can standing in so much rain?


Once in a lifetime there's a chance at a rainbow,
shining over your heart.
And from every outcome there's a light in the distance, that comes to find the things
that hide love in the dark.

I have had a vision, and I think I know the future, I have dreamed you in my mind.
And if I give my heart, and keep it as an open blessing,
will I find out who you really are?


Still Breathing, I'm still here breathing.
Has love forgotten how to say my name?
Still waiting, I'm still here waiting.
But somehow you found me in all this rain.


Now I know what it is I'm looking for,
I know heroes on white horses don't look the same anymore.
I just hope, I can take the hand you show.

And if your love finally finds me still breathing,,,,,

Take me home,
Take me home, you love will take me home.

I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing.


A friend of mine and I wrote this after some tough times. We collaborated on the Lyrics and she put it to music.

It fits with me and someone even more special to me now.

For Crying Out Loud

Lyrics & Music By: Jim Steinman

I was lost till you were found
But I never know how far down
I was falling
Before I reached the bottom

I was cold and you were fire
And I never knew how the pyre
Could be burning
On the edge of the ice field

And now the chilly California wind
Is blowing down our bodies again
And we're sinking deeper and deeper in the chilly California sand
Oh I know you belong
Inside my aching heart
And can't you see my faded Levis
Bursting apart
And don't you hear me crying:
"Oh Babe, don't go"
And don't you hear me screaming
"How was I to know?"

I'm in the middle of nowhere
Near the end of the line
But there's a border to somewhere waiting
And there's a tankful of time
Oh give me just another moment
To see the light of the day
And take me to another land where
I don't have to stay
And I'm gonna need somebody to make me feel like you do
And I will receive somebody with open arms, open eyes
Open up the sky and let the planet that I love shine through

For crying out loud
You know I love you
For crying out loud
You know I love you
For crying out loud
You know I love you

I was damned and you were saved
And I never knew how enslaved
I was kneeling
In the chains of my master

I could laugh but you could cry
And I never knew just how high
I was flying
Ah, with you right above me

And now the chilly California wind
Is blowing down our bodies again
And we're sinking deeper and deeper in the chilly California sand
Oh I know you belong
Inside my aching heart
And can't you see my faded Levis
Bursting apart
And don't you hear me crying:
"Oh Babe, don't go"
And don't you hear me screaming
"How was I to know?"

I'm in the middle of nowhere
Near the end of the line
But there's a border to somewhere waiting
And there's a tankful of time
Oh give me just another moment
To see the light of the day
And take me to another land where
I don't have to stay
And I'm gonna need somebody to make me feel like you do
And I will receive somebody with open arms, open eyes
Open up the sky and let eh planet that I love shine through

For crying out loud
You know I love you
For crying out loud
You know I love you
For crying out loud
You know I love you

For taking in the rain when I'm feeling so dry
For giving me the answers when I'm asking you why
My oh my
For that
I thank you

For taking in the sun when I feel so cold
For giving me a child when my body is old
And don't you know
That I need you

For coming to my room when you know I'm alone
For finding me a freeway and for driving me home
And you got to know
For that
I serve you

For pulling me away when I'm starting to fall
For revving me up when I'm starting to stall
And you got to know
For that
I want you

For taking and for giving and for playing the game
For praying for my future in the days that remain
Oh Lord
For that
I hold you

Ah, but most of all
For crying out loud
For that
I love you
Ah, but most of all
For crying out loud
For that
I love you
Ah, but most of all
For crying out loud
For that
I love you

When you're crying out loud
You know
I love you

[shit4brains]

Go for hard rock myself

But here's a little ditty-

I've got tears in my ears
from lying on my back
crying in my sleep over you

 

[SeXy ReDHeD]

I have two...

"Just Like Heaven" by The Cure

"Show me how you do that trick
The one that makes me scream" she said
"The one that makes me laugh" she said
And threw her arms around myneck
"Show me how you do it
And I promise you, I promise that
I'll run away with you
I'll run away with you"

Spinning on that dizzy edge
I kissed her face and kissed her head
And dreamed of all the different ways I had
To make her glow
"Why are you so far away?" she said
"Why won't you ever know that I'm in love with you
That I'm in love with you"

You
Soft and only
You
Lost and lonely
You
Strange as angels
Dancing in the deepest oceans
Twisting in the water
You're just like a dream

Daylight licked me into shape
I must have been ssleep for days
And moving lips to breathe her name
I opened up my eyes
And found myself alone alone
Alone above a raging sea
That stole the only girl I loved
And drowned her deep inside of me

You
Soft and only
You
Lost and lonely
You
Just like Heaven

"Dance With You" by Live

Sittin' on the beach
The island king of love
Deep in Fijian seas
Deep in the heart of it all
Where the goddess finally sleeps
In the lap of her lover
Subdued in all her rage
And I am aglow with the taste of the demons driven out
And happily replaced with the presence of real love
The only one who saves

I wanna dance with you
I see a world where people live and die with grace
The karmic ocean dried up and leave no trace
I wanna dance with you
I see a sky full of the stars that change our minds
And lead us back to a world we would not face

The stillness in your eyes
Convinces me that I
I don't know a thing
And I've been around the world and I've tasted all the wines
A half a billion times-came sickened to your shores
You showed me what this life is for

I wanna dance with you
I see a world where people live and die with grace
The karmic ocean dried up and leave no trace
I wanna dance with you
I see a sky full of the stars that change our minds
And lead us back to a world we would not face

In this altered state
Full of so much pain and rage
You know we got to find a way to let it go

Sittin' on the beach
The island king of love
Deep in Fijian seas
Deep in the heart of it all where the goddess finally sleeps
After eons of war and lifetimes
She's smilin' and free, nothin' left
But a crackin' voice and a song Oh Lord


I wanna dance with you
I see a world where people live and die with grace
The karmic ocean dried up and leave no trace
I wanna dance with you
I see a sky full of the stars that change our minds
And lead us back to a world we would not face
we would not face
we would not face
we would not face
we would not face
we would not face.

Gotta Go With Ron on This

I'm not big on country music, but I'm a Mary fan.

Where Time Stands Still

Baby where's that place where time stands still / I remember like a lover can / But I forget it like a leaver will / It's no place you can get to by yourself / You've got to love someone and they love you / Time will stop for nothing else / And memory plays tricks on us, the more we cling, the less we trust / And the less we trust the more we hurt / And as time goes on it just gets worse / So baby where's that place where time stood still / It is under glass inside a frame / Was it over when you had your fill

And here we are with nothing but/ But this emptiness inside of us / Your smile a fitting, final gesture / Wish I could have loved you better

Baby where's that place where time stands still / I remember like a lover can / But I forget it like a leaver will / It's the first time that you held my had / It's the smell and the taste and the fear and the thrill / It's everything I understand / And all the things I never will
