Everything I Own

[juicylips]

Ever felt this way about somebody?

Everything I Own - Bread

You sheltered me from harm.
Kept me warm, kept me warm
You gave my life to me
Set me free, Set me free
The finest years I ever knew
were all the years I had with you

I would give anything I own,
Give up me life, my heart, my home.
I would give everything I own,
just to have you back again.

You taught me how to love,
What its of, what its of.
You never said too much,
but still you showed the way,
and I knew from watching you.
Nobody else could ever know
the part of me that can't let go.

I would give anything I own,
Give up me life, my heart, my home.
I would give everything I own
Just to have you back again.

Is there someone you know,
you're loving them so,
but taking them all for granted.
You may lose them one day,
someone takes them away,
and they don't hear the words you long to say

I would give anything I own,
Give up me life, my heart, my home.
I would give everything I own
Just to have you back again.

I just love bread! My favourite is 'If' makes me melt every time.

Ever felt this way about somebody?

Yes, once upon a time long ago. Found out she was cheating on me but I've never quite got over it. It's funny, until you reminded me of this song (which I like very much by the way), I had pushed her far back in my memory.

Oh well, today is another fucking day so what the hell...let's get drunk and screw.

 

[alltherage]

Yes I have. For about 30 minutes in 1991 as I recall. I wish the sentiment in the song reflected reality but for me it just does not.

Hmmm, I'm seeing a theme here... sad song posted yesterday, sad song posted today...

Are you sad, Juicy one?

If so, PM me, I'll cheer you up

Aren't we intuitive???

Not, sad...just reflective, Foxy...

Just seeing your name in my thread cheers me up, hon.

Just for you, Bindii

If

If a picture paints a thousand words,
then why I can't paint you?
The words will never show the you I've some to know.
if a face could launce a thousand ships,
then where am I to go?
There's no one home but you, You're all that's left me too.
And when my love for life is running dry,
you come and pour yourself on me.

If a man could be two places at one time,
I'd be with you.
Tommorrow and today, beside you all the way.
If the world should stop revolving spinning slowly down to die,
I'd spend the end with you. And when the world was through,
Then one by one the stars would all go out,
and you and I would simply fly away

Ever felt this way about somebody?

Nope. This is me...

<snip> from Two Out of Three Ain't Bad -- Meat Loaf

And all I can do is keep on telling you

I want you
I need you
But there ain't no way I'm ever gonna love you
Now don't be sad...
'Cause two out of three ain't bad
Now don't be sad
'Cause two out of three ain't bad

You'll never dig for gold on a sandy beach
You'll never drill for oil on a city street
I know you're looking for a ruby in a mountain of rock
But there ain't no Coupe de Ville hiding at the bottom of a Cracker Jack box

I can't lie
I can't tell you that I'm something I'm not
No matter how I try
I'll never be able
To give you something
Something that I just haven't got

Another Fav by Bread

Diary

I found her diary underneath a tree.
and started reading about me
The words she's written took me by surprise
you'd never read them in her eyes.
They said that she had found the love she waited for.
Wouldn't you know it, she wouldn't show it.

When she confronted with the writing there,
simply pretended not to care.
I passed it off as just in keeping with
her total disconcerting air
and though she tried to hide
the love that she denied,
wouldn't you know it, she wouldn't show it.

And as I go through my life, I will give to her my wife
all the sweet things that I can find.

I found her diary underneath a tree.
and started reading about me.
The words began stick and tears to flow.
Her meaning now was clear to see.
The love she'd waited for was someone else not me
Wouldn't you know it, she wouldn't show it.

and as I go through my life, I will wish for her his wife
all the sweet things that she can find
all the sweet things they can find

Ever felt this way about somebody?

I did and I still do.
I am sure it is about to happen to you.

Why do you say it is about to happen to me?

or am I misunderstanding something here?

my favorite Bread song:
"Make It With You"

(As recorded by Bread)
DAVID GATES

Hey have you ever tried
Really reaching out for the other side
I may be climbing on rainbows
But baby here goes.

Dreams they're for those who sleep
Life is for us to keep
And if you're wondering what this all is leading to
I want to make it with you
I really think that we could make it girl.

No, you don't know me well
And every little thing only time will tell
If you believe the things that I do
And we'll see it through.

Life can be short or long
Love can be right or wrong
And if I chose the one I'd like to help me through
I'd like to make it with you
I really think that we could make it girl.

Baby you know that
Dreams, they're for those who sleep
Life, it's for us to keep
And if I chose the one I'd like to help me through
I'd like to make it with you
I really think that we could make it girl.

 

[juicylips]

Hey, people...

I appreciate the concern but just because I dragged out my Bread Anthology Cd doesn't mean I am ready to take a dive off a bridge.

Honest.

Still the same old Cassidy. Sex crazy. Fuck crazy. Just posting to a different tune.

Sorry to scare ya all.

Here is another favorite. This song DOES mean something special to me right now. Sigh....

Baby I'm-A Want You

Baby, I'm-a want you
Baby, I'm-a need you
You the only one I care enough to hurt about
Maybe I'm-a crazy but I just can't live without
Your lovin' and affection givin' me direction
Like a guiding light to help me through a darkest hour
Lately I'm-a prayin' that you'll always be-a stayin' beside me

Used to be my life was just emotions passing by
Feeling all the while and never really knowing why

Lately I'm-a prayin' that you'll always be-a stayin' beside me

Used to be my life was just emotions passing by
Then you came along and made me laugh and made me cry
You taught me why

Baby, I'm-a want you
Baby, I'm-a need you

Oh, it took so long to find you, baby

Baby, I'm-a want you
Baby, I'm-a need you

Whew! This is the quickest I have ever gone from "Wheeeehoooo life is great! I had good day--a good week--isn't the world a beautiful place!!!!????" to extremely melancholy!

I'm with PCG on this one though. I think "Two Outta Three" signifies most of the relationships I've ever had. Side-note: Never tell a guy that the song makes you think of him--it doesn't go over well.

Wellllll....damn...

Never thought I would see the day when one of my threads depressed people.

Geesh.....I am going to stick with "let's just fuck and enjoy it" from now on.

[T.H. Oughts]

Oh God, Stop playing the Bread songs will ya..... I was 23 and he was 29, we hung out in the same group of friends every weekend for two years.... we would get so close but then he would back away...... damn I loved that man...... then one day he didn't show up for drinks with the others..... I was told he had found the perfect man........ my life stoped right there and then.... Bread was playing on the jutebox at the time........ I still hold a torch somewhere....

GJ is you ever read this, "he is one lucky man"

 

[Lost Cause]

That Bread song was my ex-wife's and mine song. I loved her so much it hurt to be away from her! It seems like I'm attracted to those that need help dealing with past demons, so this song fits for me;


Oh, why you look so sad,
The tears are in you eyes,
Come on and come to me now.

And don't be ashamed to cry,
Let me see you through,
'Cause I've seen the dark side too.

When the night falls on you,
You don't know what to do,
Nothing you confess
Could make me love you less.

I'll stand by you,
I'll stand by you,
Won't let nobody hurt you,
I'll stand by you.

So, if you're mad, get mad;
Don't hold it all inside,
Come on and talk to me now.

And hey,
What you got to hide?
I get angry too,
Well, I'm a lot like you.

When you're standing at the crossroads
And don't know which path to choose,
Let me come along,
'Cause even if you're wrong,

I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you,
Won't let nobody hurt you.

I'll stand by you,
Take me in into your darkest hour,
And I'll never desert you,
I'll stand by you.

And when, when the night falls on you baby,
You're feeling all alone,
You won't be on your own.

I'll stand by you,
I'll stand by you,
Won't let nobody hurt you.

I'll stand by you,
Take me in into your darkest hour,
And I'll never desert you.
I'll stand by you.
(repeat and fade)
